f, Tc.- John R. Gerh.3rdson, Public Works Coordinator From: Jack Br.inkhaus, Street Foreman ��51 Date: April 7, 1987 I Subject: Bid Award - Equipment & Materials Bids 1.987 The City of Orono advertised for two successive weeks for street materials and equipment rental, with bid opening at 10:00 A.M. Friday, March 27, 1987_ 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 considered a cost factor when determining 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 among these low bidders. In the evei,t the low bidder is not available, the City reserves the right to purchase from the next alternate. I recommend that the City Council accept the bids as presented for the calendar year 1987.
