It is further recommended that the City Council authorize staff to award the purchases respectively to the lowest responsible bidder of each bid upon bid opening and evaluation. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Engineering Division of the Electric Utility Department is preparing work orders for installation of electrical service in several new resi- dential subdivisions. Items and quantities expected to be required for those work orders are as follows: 2" Power & Communications (P&C) Duct DB120 Conduit 81,200 feet 2" PVC Schedule 40 Longline Coupling 800 each 2" PVC Schedule 40 22.5 -degree Elbow, 36" Radius 230 each 2" P&C DB120 90 -degree Elbow, 36" Radius 800 each 3" P&C Duct DB120 Conduit 26,000 feet 3" PVC Schedule 40 Longline Coupling 550 each 3" PVC Schedule 40 22.5 -degree Elbow, 18" Radius 100 each 3" P&C DB120 90 -degree Elbow, 36" Radius 520 each 6" P&C Duct DB120 Conduit 4,680 feet 6" PVC Schedule 40 Longline Coupling 40 each Clear PVC Cement 240 qts The subdivisions planned for service installation are Century Meadows #1 Unit 2, Century Meadows #4 Unit 2, Tienda Place Units A & B, the Parisis subdivision in Grid 58, and the Beck/Perlegos subdivision in Grid 58. Because of uncertainties in the economic outlook for California and the region, fluctuations in lead-times for plastic pipe, and plan changes by the developers to react to changes in market conditions, this approach to product procurement makes the most sense. Periodic bids under this authorization provide greatest flexibility for delivery options (supplier storage awaiting release, timed deliveries, job -site drops) without committing to the entire amounts projected in the work orders.
