City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: April 28, 2025
To: City Council
Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
From: Taylor Crocker, Electric Operations Supervisor
Subject: Resolution 2025-041: Authorizing the City Manager to Purchase Electric
Utility Materials from Anixter and General Pacific for the Electric
Department's Annual Material Restocking in the Amount of $138,676.94
with a 10% Contingency on Each Order Not to Exceed $152,544.63 Total
Background and justification:
The City of Seward Electric Department maintains a critical inventory of electric utility materials
necessary for timely repairs of existing infrastructure and construction of new line extensions and
services. This inventory ensures prompt response to routine maintenance needs and emergency
repairs, as well as timely service connections for new customers.
Competitive quotes were solicited from two vendors, General Pacific and Anixter (the only two
vendors that serve Alaska). Quotes were evaluated based on material availability and competitive
pricing to ensure the best value and efficiency in service delivery. After thorough evaluation, it
was determined beneficial to split the order between both suppliers based on the combined criteria
of availability and cost-effectiveness.
