' I John R. Gerhardson, Public Works Director Jack Brinkhaus, Public Works Supervisor March 2, 1993Subject: Bid Award - Equipment & Materials Bid 1993 c- <br />The City of Orono advertised for two successive weeks for street materials and equipment <br />rental, with bid opening at 10:00 A.M. Friday, Febmary 12, 1993. <br />The enclosed tabulation contains a complete accounting of all bids. For comparison <br />purposes I have also included a copy of the 1992 bid tabulation. <br />The accepted low bids for materials are determined by availability and location of <br />materials. Traveling distance to a supplier is considered a cost factor when determinmg a ow <br />bid. <br />When renting equipment with an operator, we are guided by the type, size of equipment, <br />and an hourly rate. It is possible to award the low bid to more than one contractor when <br />colideiLg ™terials and equipment. In order to stimulate enthusiwm for the followmg year s <br />work, we make sure to divide the work accordingly among these low btdders. <br />In the event the low bidder is not available, the City reserves the right to purchase from <br />the next alternate. <br />1993 <br />I recommend that the City Council accept the bids as presented for the calendar year <br />To: Mayor Callahan & Orono Councilmembers <br />From: Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />Forwarded recommending approval.
