TO:Greg Gappa, Public Services DirectorFROM: Jack Brinkhaus, Public Works SupervisorDATE:February 25, 1999SUBJECT: Bid Award - Equipment & Materials Bid 1999 <br />I, <br />:s <br />d <br />g <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 12, 1999. <br />The enclosed tabulation contains a complete accounting of all bids. For comparison purposes <br />I have also included a copy of the 1998 bid tabulation. <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 <br />an 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 <br />make 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 1999. <br />ch
