			Agenda Item 1.f.
Meeting Date: 05/21/2019   Item Title:    Distribution Overhead Line Maintenance & Construction Submitted By: Ross Owen Bid Number: 0626-19

Purchase Justification:

This request is to provide distribution overhead line maintenance and construction on an as-needed basis.  Typical work will include the installation, removal, and transferring of overhead 12.47/25kV facilities.  This is a Term Agreement with four (4) optional renewals.  A term is defined as either the annual expiration date or the expenditure of funds, whichever occurs first.  Subsequent renewals do not require additional City Council approval.  If all optional renewals are exercised, the potential financial impact will be $3,750,000 over the life of the agreement.  Expenditures will not exceed appropriated funds.

Evaluation:

A request for bids was issued in accordance with Purchasing procedures.  Three (3) bids were received, two of which were evaluated based on the published criteria of price, experience, safety, and pre-bid meeting attendance.  Bird Electric Enterprises, LLC, did not include the required Bid Bond and took unacceptable exceptions to the bid and was, therefore, deemed nonresponsive.  Irby Construction Company received the highest evaluated score, offering the Best Value for the City.
