Council approval to issue a purchase order. |
| | | | | | | | Background:
The Power and Light Department is needing to purchase three 2550 KVA 3 phase 13200 480Y/277 Pad Mount Transformers to service Smart Warehousing and to have a spare in case of malfunction/failure to the transformers that are in service to places like CenterPoint Hospital and Cargo Largo. Solomon Corporation currently has these transformers in stock ready to ship out to Independence Power & Light (IPL).
IPL is currently experiencing prolonged delays for large transformers of 18- 24 months from our other contracted vendors. In 2020, the Procurement Department, working with IPL, issued an invitation to bid (ITB) for this service. The result was the award of a contract to Solomon Corporation (Solomon). The transformers Solomon provide meet specs and standards.
Approval of this item authorizes the Finance Director to issue change orders up to a total of ten (10) percent of the original authorized amount, so long as appropriations are available. |
