City Manager Sustaire stated he recommends
the low bid of Arlington Equipment Company in the amount of $21,000.00, that
Rockwell International's bid does not meet specifications.
Mr. Andy Kirby, representative of Naylor
Equipment Company, stated his main objection to awarding the bid to Arlington
Equipment Company is that Arlington Equipment Company did not meet the speci-
fications on the tank. Mr. Kirby stated that Arlington Equipment Company
bid a 1,250 gallon usable water tank and his company bid a 1,500 gallon usable
water tank, according to specifications.
City Manager Sustaire stated the Director
of Public Works recommended the low bid of Arlington Equipment and read the
reason for the recommendation as follows:
"I recommend the City accept the Arlington Equipment Company bid of
$21,000.00. This is the lowest bid that is close to specks. The only
difference in bid and specks is 250 gallons of water capacity. The
availability of service and parts replacements is to the City's advantage
and should be considered."
Mr. Walker inquired if Naylor Company has
a smaller tank.
Mr. Kirby stated they have a 1,150 gallon
usable tank.
Mr. Hal Ferguson stated the Council should
accept Naylor Company's bid, if this bid meets the specifications, because in
February the low bid on some City vehicles were rejected because the bid did
not meet the City's specifications.
