Ve`
Public Utility District
CONSENT
To: Board of Directors
From: Steven Poncelet
Date: October 20, 2010
Subject: Consideration of Increasing the Contract for the Purchase of CFL's
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
Board approval is required for expenditures in excess of$15,000.
2. HISTORY
The approved FY10 budget includes funding for the Conservation Department's
Million CFL program. The Million CFL program is an on-going program that involves
the hand-out to our customers of a free 12-pack of CFL's. This program has been very
successful and cost-effective and the Board awarded a contract to Feit Electric
Company at the February 3rd Board meeting for a total not to exceed $47,209.44 plus
tax for a total of 40,008 CFL's. The Bid Schedule for this order did include an option
for the District to increase the total quantity by 10% at the bid price.
3. NEW INFORMATION
This District's Million CFL Program continues to be very successful and Staff is
projecting that we will distribute to our customers the 40,008 CFL's purchased from
Feit Electric before year end. To continue to meet customer demand through the end
of the year, Staff is recommending that the District exercise the option to increase total
quantity by 10% at the bid price and purchase an additional 3996 CFL's for an amount
not to exceed $4,715.28 plus tax. This would bring the total contract to an amount not
to exceed $51,924.72 plus tax.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
Increasing the total quantity by 10% at the current bid price would purchase an
additional 3,996 CFL's for an amount not to exceed $4,715.28 plus tax. This would
bring the total contract to an amount not to exceed $51,924.72 plus tax. Sufficient
funds exist within the approved FY10 budget for this purchase.
5. RECOMMENDATION
Amend the contract with Feit Electric to increase total quantity by 10% at the bid price
and purchase an additional 3,996 CFL's for an amount not to exceed $4,715.28 plus
tax bringing the total contract to an amount not to exceed $51,924.72 plus tax.
