Explanation


BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a contract for O'Shaughnessy Hydro Governor Replacement. The existing governor controls are obsolete and parts can no longer be purchased to properly maintain them. A solicitation for bids, SA001288, was advertised in the City Bulletin to supply two digital governor upgrade systems and on site services for installation. Four bids (all majority-owned business enterprises) were received and opened by the Director of Public Utilities on October 27, 2004, as follows: North American Hydro, $143,634; D. J. Wheeler Hydro Electric Services, Inc., $184,783; Sorensen Systems LLC, $198,723; and L & S Electric, Inc., $402,600. The lowest bid received from North American Hydro was not returned in its entirety, as specified in the proposal, and was deemed to be non-responsive. Therefore, an award is recommended to D. J. Wheeler Hydro Electric Services, Inc., as the lowest responsive and responsible bid received. Their contract compliance number is 383181963.

FISCAL IMPACT: This project is included in the 2004 CIB and there are sufficient funds available for this expenditure.
