BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Adopt a resolution awarding bids for the purchase of medium
voltage cable from The Okonite Company of San Ramon under a
long term (2-year with 1-year extension) purchase in an amount not-
to-exceed $650,000 over three years.
On November 20,2019 Council authorized Lodi Electric Utility
(LEU) to procure, through long-term purchases, stock material items
used to construct and maintain the electric system.
This procurement process was proposed and approved by Council in an effort to expedite delivery from
vendors, realize reduced unit pricing, as well as implement process and work flow efficiencies for LEU
Warehouse staff.
On May 14, 2020, LEU advertised bids to purchase Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR)) 15kV insulated
cable. On June 10,2020 bids were opened with one supplier submitting a proposal as shown in Exhibit 1
below. Staff reviewed the proposal and deemed The Okonite Company as the lowest responsive bids
and compliant with the approved specifications.
