THE APPARENT LOW BID FOR CONDUIT FITTINGS AND

LOW BIDDER; AND FURTHER AWARDING THE BID FOR
POWER UTILITY CONDUIT TO THE LOW BIDDER

WHEREAS, in answer to notice duly published in accordance with law and the
order of this City Council, sealed bids were received and publicly opened on March 19,
2003, at 11:00 a.m. for power utility duct and fittings, described in the specifications,
therefore approved by the City Council on March 5, 2003; and
WHEREAS, since prices for conduit and for fittings move somewhat
independently of each other, bid specifications separated conduit and fittings into
separate categories, and bid instructions indicated that award would be made to the low
bidder in each category.
WHEREAS, said bids have been compared, checked, and tabulated and a report
thereof filed with the City Manager as follows:
Intraline,lnc., Burlingame
Graybar Electric, Roseville
AZCO, Stockton
Herning Underground Supply, Sacramento
G E Supply Company, North Highlands
Wesco Distribution, San Francisco
*All -Phase Electric Supply, Stockton
'All -Phase Electric's bid contained an exception
considered non-responsive.

to price protection, and is therefore
WHEREAS, the bid submitted by All -Phase Electric Supply Company, the
apparent low bidder for the conduit fittings, contained an exception to specifications
in that quoted prices were valid for only 19 days. Bid specifications required that
prices be firm for thirty days. The 19 -day "firm" period requested by All -Phase
may have given them an unfair pricing advantage over other bidders who
complied with the 30 -day "firm" requirement. Staff therefore recommends the bid
from All -Phase Electric Supply be considered non-responsive and be rejected; and
WHEREAS, staff therefore recommends rejecting the bid from All -Phase Electric
Supply Company, of Stockton, California, as being non-responsive, and awarding the bid
for conduit fittings to the next lowest bidder, Intraline Inc., of Burlingame, California; and
WHEREAS, staff further recommends awarding the bid for utility conduit to the
low bidder in that category, AZCO, of Stockton, California.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Lodi City Council that the bid for
conduit fittings from All -Phase Electric Supply Company, of Stockton, California, is
hereby rejected, and the bid is hereby awarded to the next lowest bidder, Intraline Inc.,
of Burlingame, California, in the amount of $5,769.50; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council hereby awards the bid
for utility conduit to the low bidder in that category, AZCO, of Stockton, California, in the
amount of $26,784.80.
