MEETING DATE: December 4, 2002

RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution awarding the purchase of one
Multifunction Primary Injection Test Set to the sole bidder, George E. Honn
Co., Inc. of Vacaville, CA in the amount of $30,708.00 and appropriate funds
for this purchase.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Plans and specifications were approved by the City Council at the meeting of
September 18, 2002. On October 2, 2002, one bid from George E. Honn Co,
Inc. was received and opened.
The Electric Utility Department at present time, is using a high current test set that was purchased in the early 1970's.
The output is unstable and repair parts are no longer available. The system we now have must be constantly
adjusted. It overheats causing changes to the output and it does not produce currents high enough to test many of the
new circuit breakers with larger current ratios.
The sole bid was received from George E. Honn Co., Inc. in the amount of $40,460.13, which included items not
needed at this time. The vendor then resubmitted a bid at the lower amount of $28,500 plus tax. It is further
recommended that the City Council appropriate $30,708.00 for this project and award the bid of purchase to George
E. Honn Co., Inc. of Vacaville, California.
FUNDING: Included in the Department's 2001-2003 Financial Plan and Budget (page E-6)
Budgeted amount: $30,000
Funding Approval: L:Gy���� _
