any necessary action.

BACKGROUND:
Bids were taken in accordance with Local Government Code Chapter 252, Subchapter
B, Section 252.021 (a) and Section 252.041 (a). The bid advertisement posted in the
Fort Worth Star Telegram on November 19, 2004 and November 26, 2004. Staff issued
documents and plans to eight contractors. Three contractors responded to the invitation.
The invitation requested pricing for the purchase and installation of a packaged engine
generator system at the Information Technology building. As you recall, funds for the
renovation of the old GTE building on Worth were allocated in this year's budget to
house the personnel and computer server equipment that will operate the City's
computer network and telephone systems. The bid specifications required a complete
installation of the generator. Of the three responding vendors, Power Products, Inc. was
the only vendor who offered pricing for both purchase and installation costs. Clifford
Power Systems and Cummins Southern Plains submitted incomplete bids by offering
only a purchase price for the generator.
A tabulation of bids is attached for review.
Staff recommends an award to Power Products, Inc. for the purchase and installation of
the generator in the total amount of $43,600.00.
