RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution awarding bids for the purchase of medium
voltage cable from Pacific Utilities of Concord in the amount of
$50,889.25 and The Okonite Company of San Ramon in the
amount of $176,106.60.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On December 20, 2017 the City Council authorized the
advertisement of bids to replenish inventory consumed as a result of
ongoing maintenance and development projects.
The Electric Utility advertised bids to purchase 80,000 feet of 1/0 EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber
insulated) cable and 21,000 feet of 350 MCM (1 MCM = 0.51 square millimeters) triplex cable. On
December 27, 2017 bids were opened with two suppliers submitting proposals with the following results:
Vendor name
80,000 feet of 1/0 EPR cable
21,000 feet of 350 MCM triplex
Pacific Utilities
$225,413
$50,889.25
The Okonite Company
$176,106.60
No bid
Note: Costs shown includes delivery and tax.
Staff reviewed the proposals and deemed that Pacific Utilities is the lowest responsive bidder compliant
with the approved specifications for the 350 MCM triplex cable and The Okonite Company is the lowest
responsive bidder compliant with the approved specifications for the 1/0 EPR cable.
Due to the high speed manufacturing process of the cable, it is an industry practice to allow a tolerance
of +/-10 percent on the length of cable produced and shipped at the cost per feet as specified in the bid,
FISCAL IMPACT: Procurement cost is $226,995.85.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Included in FY 2017/18 Budget Account No. 500.13496.
