CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize award of Bid Schedule No. 5364, Padmount Distribution Switches, to Federal Pacific,
in the amount of $248,502.54, for the Redding Electric Utility.
Fiscal Impact
Adequate funding is available in Redding Electric Utility’s (REU) current biennial General
System Improvements budget, which includes purchases of all distribution-type switches. These
costs include the annual recurring expenditures for installing infrastructure required to maintain
reliable electric service.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to award the bid to Federal Pacific and provide
alternative direction to staff.
Background/Analysis
This is a routine bid for the purchase of padmount distribution switches. These padmount
distribution switches are required to support residential and commercial development and
provide emergency replacement of the existing padmount distribution switches presently in
service.
Padmount distribution switches are designed to meet the switching and isolating requirements of
electrical distribution systems described in REU’s design standards. These devices increase the
reliability and operability of the electric distribution system.
