Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation amends the 2005 CIB and authorizes the Finance Director to enter into contracts for the purchase of SF6 switches and related parts for the Division of Electricity. These items are needed to upgrade the Division of Electricity's underground system in order to provide reliable power and to replenish stock used in the Gateway customer service project

Bids for the SF6 switches were solicited from 100 vendors (94 MAJ, 6 M1A, 0 FBE). Six (6 MAJ) bids were received and opened by the Purchasing Office on July 7, 2005, SA001676. The bids have been reviewed and awards are recommended to the following vendors based upon the lowest, responsive and responsible bids received:

Vendor Contract Compliance Amount

Reed City Power Line Supply (MAJ) 381783949 $177,603.03
Professional Electric Products (MAJ) 341018087 47,150.35
Electric Laboratories/Hughes (MAJ) 370798775 26,677.50
$251,430.88

FISCAL IMPACT: There is sufficient budget authority in the Division of Electricity's Operating Fund and there are sufficient funds in the Voted 1995 and 1999 Street Lighting and Electricity Distribution Improvements Fund for this expenditure. A CIB amendment and a transfer between projects within the bond fund are necessary to provide funding in the appropriate project. There were no similar expenditures in 2003 and $5,142.00 was spent in 2004.
