CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve award of Bid Schedule No. 5631 – Furnish and Deliver Pad-Mounted
Distribution Switches for the Redding Electric Utility to Anixter, Inc., in the amount of
$221,256.75.
Fiscal Impact
The purchase of pad-mounted distribution switches was included in the City of Redding Electric
Utility’s (REU) General System Improvements Fiscal Year 2025-27 Biennial Budget.
As outlined in the five-year financial plan previously presented to the City Council (Council),
funding for these improvements, including General System Improvements, was anticipated to be
funded by bond proceeds. Should capital expenses associated with these efforts exceed the
approved budget, staff will return with recommendations for any necessary budgeta ry
adjustments.
Alternative Action
The Council could direct staff to rebid the purchase or provide alternative direction to staff.
Background/Analysis
This bid enables REU to procure pad-mounted distribution switches to maintain stock levels and
ensure availability for capital projects, system expansions, and unplanned replacements due to
equipment failures. Switches are critical components for sectionalizing the electric grid, isolating
faults, and ensuring the reliability of service to customers. Maintaining an adequate supply is
essential to provide safe and reliable electric service.
