The Villages of Lake Worth to pay for transformers

Comment Up

The Electric Utility requests to purchase seven (7) pad mount transformers to meet requirements for service to the Villages of Lake Worth located at Lake Worth Road and 2nd Avenue North. The total cost of electric construction required to serve the complex will be borne by the developer.

BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION:
The Villages of Lake Worth is a housing project located at Lake Worth Road and 2nd Avenue North. Electric
service to the complex requires an extension of underground facilities and the installation of 7 padmount
transformers.

Bids were received for the purchase of these transformers on March 11, 2014. The transformers are standard size
and standard specification. Wesco Distribution is the lowest initial cost and the lowest total ownership cost
vendor; they meet all specifications. Pricing for a 150kVA transformer is $9,885.00 each for a total cost of
$69,195.00.

The Developer has paid a deposit to cover the utility costs associated with the project that includes these 7
transformers.

This purchase was recommended by the Electric Utility Advisory Board on June 4, 2014.
