FUNDING: Estimated Cost: S60,C00 Account 23.0-12.0-500 Sid Opening: August 26, 1992 i Floyd Williams, chief of Police APPROVED tat A PETERSON ��� aa, City Manager CC -1 Continued August 5, 1992 manufacturer has been out of business for several years making repair parte extremely difficult to locate, if not impossible. Given the condition of this very important system component, a replacement was budgeted during the 1990-91 fiscal year. The Department, in talking to power transformer manufacturers, was led to believe that sufficient interest existed to bid and build a replacement regulator. However, after two bide for a regulator, both of which were rejected, it became apparent that no real interest existed to construct a replacement regulator at a cost that would make this alternative economically justifiable. The most economical alternative considering the bid prices received for a replacement regulator is a complete replacement of the regulator -transformer combination with a new power transformer having built-in regulation. The additional investment for the replacement unit will easily be returned over its life due to reduced losses as a result of improved materials and construction techniques in today's power transformers. The estimated cost of this power transformer is $480,000 with delivery expected in approximately 40 weeks. The bid opening date has been set for Friday, August 28, 1992.
