ACEVEDO, Finance Directo �Y�i SUBJECT: Award of Bid for Polyphase Solid State Date: June 8, 1992 Electronic Meters for the Electric Department to General Electric Supply Co in the Amount of $15,516.00 BACKGROUND The Electric Department has a requirement for Polyphase Electronic Solid State Meters. On May 21, 1992, General Services advertised for sealed bids for this requirement. Bid opening was held at 3:00 p.m., June 3, 1992, in the General Services office. Two bids were received and evaluated. A Bid Analysis is attached showing price and delivery. The low bid was received from Maydwell and Hartzell for Landis & Gyr electronic meters. DISCUSSION The bids were evaluated by staff and the Landis & Gyr meters do not meet the City's Specifications for the following reasons: 1. Landis & Gyr cannot provide Form 13S and 14S solid state meters. 2. The specification. calls for a guaranteed starting current range of 3.003 amperes for Form 90, Class 20 meters. They are offering 0.004 amperes. The City requires the lower range to realize killowatt hour consumption at light customer loads. The other bid was received from General Electric Supply Co. for General Electric solid state meters and it meets the City's specifications. The City presently has some General Electric solid state, Phase 3 meters in one of the substations. The same computer software program is utilized to program both types of meters. The use of one software program will help to eliminate application confusion. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends bid award to General Electric Supply Co. in the amount $15,516.00.
