WHEREAS, last year, the Electric Utility Department, solicited bids on several sizes of
underground electric cable with a new type of insulation, ethylene -propylene rubber (EPR).
Industry tests had shown that EPR insulation yielded longer cable life and resulted in fewer
cable failures, while department evaluations showed EPR cable could be installed more
efficiently than conductor with cross-linked insulation. Additionally, conversion to EPR cable
allowed the Department to replace two sizes (#2 and #2/0) in cross-linked conductor with one
size (#1/4) in EPR, and
WHEREAS, the City Manager recommends awarding the bid for the purchase of 44,000 feet
total of #1/0 medium -voltage concentric -neutral EPR -insulated underground electrical cable to the
low bidder, The Okonite Company, of San Ramon, California, in the amount of $52,4.52.70.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby award the

underground electrical cable to the lava bidder, The Okonite Company, of San Ramon, California, in
the amount of $52,452.70.
