AGENDA TITLE: Purchase of Low and Medium -voltage Underground Cable
($94,475.20)
MEETING DATE: May 17, 2000
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt the attached resolution awarding the bids
for the purchase of the following lengths and sizes of cable:
20,000 feet #110 600V Underground Triplex Western States Electric, Portland $15,860.80
20,000 feet #350 600V Underground Triplex Pirelli Cables, Colusa, CA $36,591.90
20,000 feet #2 15kV Primary Underground Cable Western States Electric $18,188.20
20,000 feet #2/0 15kV Primary Underground Cable Pirelli Cables $23,834.30
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On April 19, 2000, the City Council approved specifications and
authorized advertisement for bids for this conductor.
On May 3, 2000, bids were opened. A summary of the bids received is attached as Exhibit A.
Although King Wire of Las Vegas submitted the low bids for the #1/0 triplex and the #2 15kv primary, the
manufacturer they represent, Taihan Wire of Korea, is not known to the City of Lodi. Staff checked with the
City of Redding and Nevada Power regarding Taihan and King Wire: City of Redding rejected a Taihan bid
for failure to meet specifications, and Nevada Power, based in Las Vegas, had not heard of either King Wire
or Taihan. Staff therefore recommends that no conductor be purchased from Taihan Wire for use in the City's
transmission or distribution system until Taihan has a record of successful service in our area.
This conductor is planned for use in the following six subdivisions:
Century Meadows #1, Unit 2,
Century Meadows #4, Unit 1,
Lodi West #7,
Bridgetown #4,
Towne Ranch #8, and
the Sasaki property on Kettleman Lane, west of the WID canal.
