Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance Director to establish a purchase order for Wire and Cable required by the Division of Electricity to construct four distribution circuits from the Italian Village Substation. Two of the circuits will be to support the O.S.U. Gateway project. One circuit will be constructed to maintain the reliability of the Division's North Substation and the last circuit is needed to relieve demand on existing distribution systems. The Wire and Cable will be obtained in accordance with the terms and conditions of the universal term contract, FL000955, with Consolidated Electrical Distributors, Inc. Their contract compliance number is 952563864.
Emergency action is requested because of existing system capacity being nearly met, it is imperative the purchases be made to support construction activities which will alleviate strain on the Division's facilities. Furthermore, the existing contract expires June 30, 2005 and these purchases must be made prior to the expiration of the existing universal term contract.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is sufficient budget authority in the Voted 1995 and 1999 Street Lighting and Electricity Distribution Improvements Fund for this purchase. $209,614 was spent in 2003 and $264,134 was spent in 2004 for Wire and Cable. These expenditure amounts include both operating and bond funds.
