HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - March 4, 1998 (49)AGENDA TITLE: Purchase of 20,000 feet of #2/0 15kV Primary Underground
Cable ($23,640.35)
MEETING DATE: March 4, 1998
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt the attached resolution awarding the
bid for the purchase of 20,000 feet of #2/0 primary underground
conductor to the low bidder, Pirelli Cables of Columbia, South
Carolina, in the amount of $23,640.35.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On January 21, 1998, the City Council approved specifications and
authorized advertisement for bids.
Bid instructions requested that bidders submit both firm prices and prices subject to change based on
the spot prices of copper and aluminum at the time of shipment. A summary of the bids received and
opened on February 11, 1998 is attached as Exhibit A.
Staff recommends purchasing the cable from Pirelli at their firm price of $1,097.00 per thousand feet.
Copper and aluminum prices are near 12 -month lows, with demand appearing to firm. Metals prices
would need to increase only about 7% in the next 15 weeks (Pirelli's delivery leadtime) to have the
lower variable price eventually exceed their firm price, a risk that staff prefers not to take.
This cable will be used in new residential and commercial developments scheduled during the next nine
to twelve months.
