BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On November 19, 1997, the City Council approved specifications
and authorized advertisement for bids for polemount and
padmount transformers as necessary to meet the Department's
needs through Fiscal Year 1998-99.
On September 23, 1998, bids for ten polemount and two padmount transformers 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 will be used to serve new commercial loads at Pine Street/Cluff Avenue and
Thurman Street/Cluff Avenue, and to replenish the Department's inventory.
