Public Utility District
CONSENT
To: Board of Directors
From: Steven Poncelet
Date: July 21, 2010
Subject: Consideration of the Award of a Contract to Purchase 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 District's Green Partners program.
The Green Partners program is an on-going program that includes the hand-out to our
customers of free specialty CFL's. One component of Green Partners, termed
internally as the 'Big 6', are the following screw-in CFL's: a 40W equivalent Globe, a
50W equivalent R20, a 65W equivalent R30, a 65W equivalent dimmable R30, a
90W+ equivalent outdoor PAR 38, and a 100W equivalent spiral.
This program has been very successful and cost-effective in the past and is being
continued in FY10. The bid package included the estimated quantities of each type of
bulb to cover this program through the end of FY11 and allows the District to change
the quantities of each bulb to match customer needs (while committing to a total dollar
purchase amount).
3. NEW INFORMATION
The District issued a Request for Bid (RFB) for a quantity of 7,050 CFL's and held a
bid-opening on July 12, 2010. Two bids were received and the results of the bids are
listed below (excluding tax):
Bidder Total Cost:
Feit Electric $26,604.50
AM Cons. Group $34,041.00
Both bids were found to be responsive. Feit Electric was the lowest bidder at
$26,604.50 (Attachment A).
4. FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funds exist within the approved FY10 budget for this purchase.
5. RECOMMENDATION
Award a contract to Feit Electric for the purchase of CFL's in an amount not to exceed
$26,604.50 plus tax.
