HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - November 19, 1997 (82)AGENDA TITLE: Contract Award for Pleasant Avenue Telecommunications Conduit, Elm Street to 300 Feet North of
Locust Street ($24,010)
MEETING DATE: November 19, 1997
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt the attached resolution awarding the contract for the above
project to Richard A. Heaps Electrical Contractor, Inc., of Sacramento, in the amount of
$24,012.50 and appropriate funds in accordance with the recommendation shown below.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of installing 850 lineal feet of communication conduit between
the Public Safety Building and the Library Building. The purpose of the conduit is to
allow the Library to have a direct phone connection to the City's phone network
located in the Public Safety Building. In addition to serving the Library, the
Emergency Operations Center that is located in the Library's conference room will be served. It will also provide future
computer connection capabilities to the Public Works and Public Safety computer networks during emergency conditions.
The eventual connection to the City's telephone and computer systems within the Civic Center will save $15,000.00 to
$20,000.00 in needed system upgrades at the Library and reduce the annual telephone bill by at least $2,000.00. While the
direct cost will take many years to recover, there is substantial operational benefit to both the Library and the
Emergency Operations Center.
Plans and specifications for this project were approved on October 15, 1997. The City received the following three bids:
Bidder Location Bid
Engineer's Estimate $17,500.00
Richard A. Heaps Electrical Contractor, Inc. Sacramento $24,012.50
All Star Telecom, Inc. Carmichael $33,575.00
B & H Electric, Inc. Lodi $35,632.00
Other aspects of the project include installation of telephone and data conductors and termination in the Library and
Public Safety buildings. This work will be handled separately and is estimated to cost $11,000.00. With other minor project
costs and contingencies, the total project is estimated at $38,000.00.
