AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Awarding the Bid for Purchase of One (1) AC HIPot Tester to
High Voltage Inc. of Copake, New York and Appropriate Funding ($6,788.25)
(EUD)
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2004
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution awarding the bid for
the purchase of one (1) AC HIPot tester to the sole bidder,
High Voltage Inc. of Copake, New York, in the amount of
$6,788.25 and appropriate funds for this purchase.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On April 21, 2004 the City Council approved specifications
and authorized advertisement for bids for the purchase of
an AC HiPot test system. This test system replaces an
existing DC test system. AC test systems, due to the ability to simulate real conditions, are preferred
for testing of vacuum switching equipment. The Electric Utility Department's substations utilize
vacuum style circuit breakers for the majority of the 12kV circuits. Knowing the condition of the
vacuum bottles in the circuit breakers under a "real" test condition will enable the Electric
Department to more efficiently spot any impending failures in the circuit breakers. The tester will
also enable testing of vacuum bottles to ANSI and IEEE standards which cannot be done at present.
FUNDING: Electric Utility Department's 2003-04 Financial Plan & Budget
Business Unit#: 1611201; $12,000 (page E-48).
