BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On June .18, 1997, the City Council approved specifications and
authorized advertisement for bids for thirty-seven single-phase and
five three-phase padmount transformers.
On July 22, 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.
The single-phase padmount transformers will be used to serve Bridgetown, Century Meadows, Sun West
and Towne Ranch subdivisions, and to replenish inventory. The three-phase units will serve new
commercial and industrial loads, and will provide stock for emergency replacements.
