Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Joe Horvath, District Electrical Engineer
Date: September 12, 2002
Subject: Voltage Regulator Bid Award Recommendation
The existing voltage regulators at Donner Lake Substation, now over 30-years old, are
PCB contaminated, at the end of their useful life, and must be replaced. Funds were
budgeted in 2001 for the procurement of new regulators. Bids were opened on June 14,
2001 with responsive bids received from 2 vendors. Subsequent to bid opening it was
decided by staff not to proceed with the bid award process because of budgetary
concerns. Funds were again budgeted in 2002 for procurement of new voltage
regulators. We contacted the low bidder, Western States, and they informed us that they
would still honor their price from last years bid.
Attached is a summary schedule of the bid information received. The schedule shows
the description and quantity of regulators required, manufacturer, quoted price, delivery
time, and any noted exceptions to our contract and/or specifications.
Recommendation:
I recommend the Board approve the following Schedule as shown below for the
purchase of voltage regulators for Donner Lake Substation:
A Western States 3 $14,426 00 $43,278.00
Total $43,278.00
