i FEB 2S 1985 To: John R. Gerhardson, Public Works Coordinator s �►s : V OF OR"" From: Jack Brinkhaus, Street Foreman Date: February 20, 1985 Subject: Bid Award - Equipment & Materials Bids 1985 The City of Orono advertised for two successive weeks for street materials and equipment rental, with bid opening at. 10:00 A.M. Friday, February 8, 1985. The enclosed tabulation contains a complete accounting of all bids received and the recommended low bidders and alternates. The accepted low bids for materials are determined by availability and location of materials. Traveling distance to a supplier is a consideree cost factor when determinin a low bid. When renting equipment with an operator, we are guided by the type, size of equipment, and an hourly rate. It is possible to award the low bid to more than one contractor when considering materials and equipment. In order to stimulate enthusiasm for the following years work, we make sure to divide the work accordingly a*-r .g these low bidders. In the event low bidder is not available, the City reserves the right to purchase from the next alternate. This year, we received a bid from H.V. Johnston Culvert Company that was unresponsive in that they included terms that were contradictory to our specifications. Therefore, I recommend that we reject. their bid. I recommend that the City Council accept the balance of the bids as presented for the calendar year 1985.
