SUBJECT: 4.5(a) --Award
of Bid Schedule No. 5433, Furnish Electric Utility Pole Crossarms
Recommendation
Authorize award of Bid Schedule No. 5433, Furnish Electric Utility Pole Crossarms, to Wesco
for bid groups 2 & 3, in the amount of $281,780.07, and Mader Supply LLC for bid group 1, in
the amount of $109,180.50, for a combined purchase total of $390,960.57, for the City of
Redding Electric Utility.
Fiscal Impact
Adequate funding is available in Redding Electric Utility's (REU) current biennial General
System Improvements capital budget, which includes purchases of all utility pole crossarms.
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 Wesco and Mader Supply LLC
and provide alternative direction to staff.
Background/Analysis
This is a routine bid for the purchase of utility pole crossarms. These utility pole crossarms are
required to support aerial conductors on power poles. This purchase consists of fiberglass and
traditional treated wood crossarms. Fiberglass crossarms are designed to exceed years of life
compared to the traditionally treated wood crossarms.
On Wednesday, December 20, 2023, three bids were opened for Utility Pole Crossarms. Staff
analyzed the bids based on the bid price and compliance with specifications in the evaluation
process. Wesco was the apparent low bidder for bid groups 2 & 3 at a cost of $281,780.07, and
Mader Supply LLC for bid group 1 at a cost of $109,180.50.
