AGENDA TITLE: Adopt a resolution approving specifications and authorizing advertisement for bids
for low -voltage fuses, fuse holders and wire, and authorizing the City Manager to
award the bid up to $40,000 (EUD)
MEETING DATE: July 21, 2004
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution approving the specifications
and authorizing advertisement for bids for various sizes of low -
voltage fuses, fuse holders and wire for the Electric Utility Depart-
ment, and authorizing the City Manager to award the bid up to $40,000.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Electric Utility Department recently changed the specifications
for streetlighting systems. The new specifications require protec-
tion, in the form of fuses and new wiring, to be installed at each
streetlight. The main benefit derived from fusing is the increase in safety to the general public.
Fuses will also increase the reliability of the system, especially on circuits having multiple lights, and will
improve staff's ability to troubleshoot problems. The material listed below will be used to complete the
first phase, and to provide materials for the second phase of the retrofit project.
