and authorized advertisement for bids for the twenty-four
padmount transformers listed above.
On December 23, 1997, bids were opened and total life -cycle costs were evaluated. Life -cycle costs
are the combined total of purchase price plus cost of operation based on estimated power loss during
the projected life of the transformer. Proposals are also evaluated on the basis of compliance with
equipment and bid specifications. Failure to comply with both may lead to disqualification of the bid. A
summary of the bid evaluation is attached as Exhibit A.
These transformers will be used to serve new commercial and industrial loads at Kettleman Lane and
Lower Sacramento Road, at Kettleman and Cherokee Lanes, and on Industrial Way.
