CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: REJECT BID FOR 12 -KV POWER REGULATOR (EUD 90-10)
MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 6, 1991
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council reject the bid for one 12-kv Power
Regulator.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On December 19, 1990, the City Council approved
specifications and authorized advertisement for bids on one
12-kv Power Regulator. Bids were opened on January 17,
1991 with the following results:
Bidder
Cooper Power Systems
Burlingame, CA
Total Bid Delivery
(Incl. Tax) (Weeks)
$223,461.78 32
Alternate Bid $225,369.78 32
The Department has budgeted $145,000 for the purchase of this equipment based on
information received from several suppliers at budget preparation time. Since only
one bid was received and this bid exceeds the budgeted amount by 54.1%, it is
recommended that the bid be rejected.
The Department is presently reviewing its options regarding this equipment. It
appears, based on information received from manufacturers at this time, that the
current price would be around $200,000 and that a couple of vendors, not previously
interested, would bid in a rebid situation. This additional information supports
the above recommendation as well.
