AGENDA TITLE: Purchase of Polemount Transformers ($8,735.29)
MEETING DATE: August 6, 1997
SUBMITTED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt the attached resolution awarding the bid
for the purchase of eight polemount transformers to the bidders
whose proposals and equipment met City of Lodi specifications, and
whose transformers are expected to yield the lowest overall life -cycle costs,

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On June 18, 1997, the City Council approved specifications and
authorized advertisement for bids for five circuit -protected and eight
conventional polemount transformers.
On July 16, 1997, the Council approved the special purchase of eighteen polemount transformers,
including five units on the June 18 specifications list. Consequently, these five units were removed
from the request for bids, and are not included in this recommendation to purchase.
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 as Exhibit A.
These transformers are needed for PCB replacement, to serve new loads, and to replenish the
Department's inventory.
