Consideration of Increasing the Annual Blanket Contract Amount
for Recloser and Control Purchases
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
Board approval is required for expenditures in excess of $15,000,
2. HISTORY
The District has historically awarded sole source purchase agreement for reclosers
and controls. The Board approved the sole source recloser purchase agreement on
December 3, 2014. The recloser and control sole source agreement was granted to
Cooper Power Systems in the amount of $140,000,
3. NEW INFORMATION
Due to a higher demand in the need for these materials, including new reclosers and
controls for Donner Lake Substation, the District has purchased more reclosers and
controls than anticipated. This necessitates an increase in the contract limits.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funds exist in the approved FY15 Electric General Fund,
5. RECOMMENDATION
Authorize an increase to the annual amount for reclosers and controls with Cooper
Power Systems from $140,000 to $220,000
