AGENDA TITLE: Adopt a resolution 1) rejecting the low bid for power utility duct, 2) awarding
the bid to the second -low bidder, Azco Corporation of Stockton, and 3)
awarding the bid for conduit fittings to the low bidder in that category, All -
Phase Electric of Stockton ($31,433.55) (EUD)
MEETING DATE: April 3, 2002
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution rejecting the low bid for power
utility duct submitted by G E Supply Company of North Highlands, CA,
awarding the bid for power utility duct to the second -low bidder, Azco
Corporation of Stockton, and further awarding the bid for utility duct fittings (couplings, elbows) to the low bidder in
that category, All -Phase Electric of Stockton. Total amount of award is $31,433.55.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On March 6, 2002, the City Council approved specifications and
authorized advertisement for bids for this material.
Nine bids were received, and opened on March 20, 2002. Since prices for conduit and for fittings move somewhat
independently of each other, bid specifications separated conduit and fittings into separate categories, and bid
instructions indicated that award would be made to the low bidder in each category.
Bid results were as follows:
Conduit Fittings
Azco, Stockton
$23.308.72
$11,886.33
All -Phase, Stockton
$24,764.74
$ 8.124.83
Wesco Distribution, San Francisco
$23,704.87
$ 8,170.04
C E D, Lodi
$24,338.07
$ 8,221.62
Intraline, Burlingame
$24,759.05
$11,492.24
Wille Electric, Stockton
$25,058.75
$ 8,235.93
Herning Underground Supply, Livermore
$25,831.55
$ 8,793.64
Rexel Norcal Valley, Stockton
$32,857.52
$12,505.62
'G E Supply Company, North Highlands
$22,364.36
$ 8,552.44
" G E Supply's bid contained an "all or none" qualifier, and is therefore considered non-responsive
Had GE Supply's bid not contained the "all or none" qualifier, staff would have recommended award to GE Supply
and to All -Phase for a total purchase price of $30,489.19. Awarding to GE Supply in accordance with their qualifier
would have violated the provisions of the bid specifications, since their bid for fittings wasn't low. On advice of the
Deputy City Attorney, staff therefore recommends that G E Supply's bid be considered non-responsive and be
rejected on that basis, and award for conduit be made to Azco, the next -low bidder in that category.
Some of the subdivisions planned for service installation (carried over from 2001) are Century Meadows #1 Unit 2,
Century Meadows #4 Unit 2, Tienda Place Units A & B, and the Beck/Perlegos subdivision in Grid 58.
