TO:Greg Gappa, Public Services Director <br />FROM: Jack Brinkhaus, Public Works Sqiervisor <br />DATE:February 25.2002 <br />SUBJECT: Bid Award • Equipment Materials Bid 2002 <br />The City of Orono advertised for two successive weeks for street materials and equipment rental, <br />with bid opening at 1:00 P.M., Friday, February IS, 2002. <br />The enclosed tabulation contains a complete accounting of all bids. <br />The accepted low bids for materials are determined by availability and location of materials. <br />Traveling distance to a supplier is considered a cost factor when determining a low bid. <br />When renting equipment with an operator, we are guided by the type, size of equipment, and an <br />hourly rate. It is possible to award the low bid to more than one contractor when considering <br />materials and equipment. In order to stimulate enthusiasm for the following year's work, we make <br />sure to divide the work accordingly among these low bidders. <br />In the event the low bidder is not available, the City reserves the right to purchase from the next <br />alternate. <br />I recommend that the City Council accept the bids as presented for the calendar year 2002.
