<br />.., <br /> <br />REPORT <br /> <br />To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From the City Manager <br /> <br />July 24, 2000 <br /> <br />Subject <br />Purchase and Repair of Utility Pump Motors <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />Approve a resolution authorizing the purchase and/or repair of various sized water, storm <br />and sanitary sewer pump motors to Koffler Electrical Mechanical Apparatus Repair of San <br />Leandro, CA in the amount of $24,648. <br /> <br />Background <br />Redwood City currently has 122 water, sewer and storm pumps housed at 55 pump <br />stations throughout the City. Each pump is controlled and operated by an electric motor <br />with some motors operating continuously while others operate on an as-needed basis. <br />Although utility pump motors are fairly reliable and not as prone to failure as a pump, they <br />still require periodic repair and replacement. Each year the Public Works Services <br />Department develops a list of the most commonly purchased and/or repaired motors which <br />may be needed during the new Fiscal Year. <br /> <br />Staff required vendors to submit individual prices for the purchase of a new motor and also <br />prices for the repair of a motor. The below listed bids reflect the total amount of maximum <br />new purchases and maximum repairs in a single year. (Although the entire amount will not <br />be expended, I.E. $6,149 was expended in FY 1999/00). The City Clerk advertised the <br />bid invitation with copies of the bid being mailed to five vendors. The one bid received was <br />opened by the City Clerk on Wednesday, June 21,2000 and is considered a valid bid. <br /> <br />Koffler Electrical Mechanical Apparatus Repair San Leandro, CA <br /> <br />$24,648.00 <br /> <br />E & M Electric <br /> <br />Healdsburg, CA <br />Stockton, CA <br /> <br />No Bid <br /> <br />Stanley Electric Motor Co.,lnc. <br /> <br />No Bid <br /> <br />Vincent Electric Motor Co. <br /> <br />San Jose, CA <br /> <br />No Bid <br /> <br />Palo Alto Electric Motor Corporation <br /> <br />Mountain View, CA No Bid <br /> <br />Staff contacted the four vendors who did not submit bids. All four vendors stated due to <br />personal shortages in their companies, increased workload and the fact that our bid award <br />was not a guaranteed expenditure amount, they were not interested. They thanked us for <br />the opportunity. <br /> <br />1 of 2 <br /> <br />'-.' -. .~ T" <br />
