Quantities purchased are based on history <br />of prior use or requirements determined by the City's Electrical Engineer. <br />On February 24, 1994, General Services posted a notice inviting sealed bids for this requirement. Bid opening <br />was held at 3:30 p.m., March 15, 1994, in the General Services office. Five bids were received and evaluated. <br />A Bid Analysis is attached showing price and delivery for each vendor. The recommended vendor's price is <br />underlined. <br />DISCUSSION: <br />The low bidder, WESCO Utility, is quoting a product from a wire manufacturer that has not been approved <br />by the City's Electric Department, therefore, this product is not acceptable at this time. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />None. This type of requirement is generally budgeted in the Electric Department's operating expenses. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends bid award to the next lowest bidder, King Wire & Cable, in the amount of $11,045.45. <br />Report Prepared by: Mary J. ilroy, Acting Purchasing Manager <br />City Manager's Concurrence: <br />Attachments: ( I ) Bid Analysis <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />Item No. 4/ <br />
