The <br />Agency is upgrading the motor control centers at the wells located at 730 <br />Memory Lane and 2736 N. Cambridge. A variable frequency motor drive is <br />used to regulate the quantity of water pumped from most of the City's wells <br />and pump stations. Currently, Wells 28 and 38 do not use variable <br />frequency motor drives. Installation of variable frequency motor drives at <br />Wells 28 and 38 will allow the pumps to start smoothly, use less energy and <br />will reduce pressure surging into the water lines. In addition, once the <br />variable frequency drives are installed, the City will qualify for an <br />energy saving rebate of approximately $73,000. <br /> <br />The notice <br />solicited. <br />follows: <br /> <br />inviting bids was advertised on July 13, 2007 and bids were <br />A summary of the bid invitations and bids received lS as <br /> <br />18 Invitations For Bid mailed <br />2 Invitations For Bid mailed to Santa Ana vendors <br />2 Bids received <br /> <br />Bids were received, opened on August 8, 2007 and evaluated. <br />are as follows: <br /> <br />Bid results <br /> <br />Vendor: <br /> <br />Amount: <br /> <br />Location: <br /> <br />Leed Electric, Inc. <br />Digital Electronic Services, Inc. <br /> <br />$ 288,251 <br />$ 292,443 <br /> <br />Norwalk <br />Upland <br /> <br />22C-1 <br /> <br />
