FROM: Daryl Devick, CIP Manager
DATE: March 21, 2017
SUBJECT:
Resolution to accept the bids for the 2017/2018 Electrical Materials and Supplies for the Electrical Division
PURPOSE:
To obtain approval to accept the bids received for the 2017/2018 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, supplies, and LED light fixtures 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 2017/2018 electrical materials and supplies was advertised in the newspaper and sent out to several suppliers. Typically the lowest bid per item will be used unless delivery time becomes an issue.
DISCUSSION:
Funding for materials, supplies, and LED light fixtures is budgeted in accounts 340-4020-418.65-07, 231-4020-418.65-07, 235-4020-418.65-07, 236-4020-418.65-07, and may be supplemented with accounts to be determined. A DCEO grant application has been submitted for incentives that may possibly reimburse the City up to 75% of the cost for the LED streetlights within the bid items.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Please forward this resolution to the Finance Committee for their review and recommendation for approval.
