AGENDA TITLE: Purchase of Polemount Transformers ($23,834.31)
MEETING DATE: March 5, 1997
SUBMITTED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt the attached resolution awarding the bid
for the purchase of 31 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,
Cooper Power Systems of Milwaukee, WI, in the 25KVA conventional, and the 15-, 25-, 37.5-, and 50KVA sizes
in the circuit -protected category (21 units totaling $15,828.48); and to Kuhlman Transformers of Versailles,
Kentucky in the 50KVA conventional category (10 units totaling $8,005.83).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On January 15, 1997, the City Council approved specifications and
authorized advertisement for bids for 16 conventional and 15 circuit -
protected polemount transformers.
On February 19, 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.
