RESOLUTION CONCURRING IN STAFF ACTION REGARDING
THE AWARD OF BID FOR ALUMINUM CABLE
WHEREAS, Lodi Municipal Code Section 3.20.100 sets forth open market
procedures, thereby expediting the bidding process; and
WHEREAS, the purchasing department is desirous of seeking bids for
45,000 feet of 477 MCM Bare Aluminum Conductor for use primarily for
three projects scheduled for late 1987:
General Mills 25,00 feet (estimate)
Feeder Line-Lockeford to Pine 12,500 feet
Minton Company 2,600 feet
40,200 feet
WHEREAS, the primary reasons for requesting exception to the formal bid
procedures are:
1. The General Mills project timetable stipulates that all work
must be completed by December 31, 1987. Following the formal
bid procedure would result in a September 3 date as the
earliest an order could be awarded. Delivery leadtime
thereafter would place undue pressure on the Utility
Department to complete the work on time. To proceed
immediately with bidding would provide an additional three
weeks with which to work.
2. A tight supply market appears to be developing, with a major
factor being the status of Kaiser Aluminum's sale of their
Bay Area Plant. Kaiser has said that if they are unable to
find a buyer for the plant they will close it. A recent
offer fell through, leaving a greater likelihood of such
closure in the undeterminate future.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Lodi does hereby direct the purchasing department to immediately seek
bids for 45,000 feet of 477 MCM Bare Aluminum Conductor and to award
the bid to the lowest responsible bidder which meets the delivery
timetable required by the bid specifications.
