Incomplete bid packet
The bid specification requires the Bidder to manufacture the transformer in the continental United
States. Transformers and Rectifiers (India) Ltd. manufactures transformers at their facility in
Ahmedabad, India so their bid does not meet the requirements in the bid specifications. CG Power
Systems would manufacture the transformer at their facility in Washington, MO. However, this plant
has only manufactured smaller, distribution-type transformers and has not manufactured a
transformer with the capacity required in the bid specifications. Consequently, CG Power Systems
does not meet the minimum qualifications for Bidder’s experience as required in the bid
specifications. Based the evaluation of the bids submitted, Virginia Transformer was determined to
be the lowest responsible bidder.
Budget Impact: Funding for the project will come from the electric rate stabilization fund and a
budget of $1.1 million has been established for this project. The remaining budgeted funds after the
purchase of the new transformer will be used for the installation of the new transformer, upgrading
control and protection systems, and the additional equipment required in the substation to handle the
added capacity.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Trustees award the bid for the Kinzie substation
transformer to Virginia Transformer in the amount of $695,275 and authorize expenditures for the
purchase of the transformer in the same amount.
