CITY OF LODE COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Cgtr RRP
AGENDA TITLE: Purchase of 15kV Primary Underground Electrical Cable
(Estimated $108,854.44).
MEETING DATE: July 19, 1995
SUBMITTED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt the attached resolution
awarding the bid for the purchase of 30,000 feet of
#2AWG, and 22,500 feet of 750kcmil primary under-
ground conductor to the low bidder, BICC Utility Cable
Company of Huntington Beach, California, in the estimated amount of $108,854.44.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On June 7, 1995, the City Council approved specifications
and authorized advertisement for bids for these two con-
ductors.
Bid instructions requested that bidders submit prices which were to be held firm until delivery of the
conductor, and prices subject to change based on the spot prices of copper and aluminum at the time of
shipment. A summary of the bids received and opened on June 28, 1995, is attached as Exhibit A.
BICC's bids for #2 and 750kcmil, which prices are subject to change according to the prices of copper
and aluminum at the time of shipment, were $28,446.00 and $80,408.44 respectively, for a total bid of
$108,854.44. To exceed BICC's total firm price of $111,400.58, the prices of copper and aluminum
would have to rise about 6%, from $1.47 and $.85583 per pound, respectively. Metals spot prices on
Monday, July 10, 1995, were $1.385 and $.855. Therefore, assuming stability in the price of aluminum,
copper prices would have to increase over 15% during the next 8 weeks for pricing for this method of
purchase to exceed BICC's firm prices. If copper prices continue to hold in the $1.37 - $1.40 range per
pound, as they have during the past two weeks, the savings to the City could approximate $4,000
compared to purchase based on firm prices.
FUNDING: Funds have been budgeted and are available in the Electric
Utility Department's Operating Fund.
