TO: Mayor Thomas J. Weisner
FROM: Daryl Devick, CIP Manager
DATE: April 19, 2016
SUBJECT:
Resolution to accept the bid of Crescent Electric Supply for the 2016 Electrical Materials and Supplies for the Electrical Division.
PURPOSE:
To obtain approval to accept the bid received for the 2016 Electrical Materials and Supplies for the Electrical Division.
BACKGROUND:
The intent of sending out this annual request for quotations is to freeze commonly fluctuating unit prices for the materials and supplies most commonly used by the Electrical Division. It also enables them to readily pick up the materials as needed with an open purchase order rather than getting individual quotes and a separate purchase order every time they need an item. A request for quotations for 2016 electrical materials and supplies was advertised in the newspaper and sent out to several suppliers. Crescent Electric was the only supplier to turn in a bid. This is an annual request for quotations and will be sent out again for 2017.
DISCUSSION:
The prices submitted for the items bid are fair market value and close to what we estimated. The line items that were not bid will be purchased on the open market. We feel it is in our best interests to accept the bid from Crescent Electric Supply.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Please forward this resolution to the Finance Committee for their review and recommendation for approval.
