<br />• <br />_~ .F J ~l.~Y' <br />..:. <br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />• T0: Jim Hudgens, City M ger DATE: October 9, 1981 <br />FROM: Jerry Hodge D r o of Public Works <br />SUBJECT: Brass Fitting Bi <br />The City of La Porte has received bids from six (6) suppliers for 96 items <br />of brass fittings. Attached is an evaluation sheet showing the unit and <br />extended cost of each item by bidder. Overall low bid was from Western Pipe <br />in the amount of FORTY FOUR THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED SEVENTY NINE DOLLARS AND <br />SIXTY FIVE CENTS ($44,879.65). Three (3) alternatives are shown as to award. <br />Alternate one awards the bid to five (5) suppliers, and takes low bid by <br />item. Total cost would be FORTY THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED SIX DOLLARS AND <br />EIGHTY FIVE CENTS ($40,606.85). This alternate would award bids to two (2) <br />companies of less than $500 each. Attached is a sheet showing exceptions <br />taken by bidders. Of particular interest is the bid submitted by Southwest <br />Meter, which shows delivery times in excess of three (3) weeks, as well as <br />minimum orders. <br />Alternate two awards the bid to the two (2) principal bidders, Utility Supply <br />and Western Pipe. Total cost would be FORTY THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE <br />DOLLARS AND THIRTY FIVE CENTS ($40,975.35), an increase of $368.50 over alternate <br />one. This amount would probably be absorbed in freight and delivery time costs. <br />Alternate three awards the bid solely to Western Pipe, apparent low bidder. <br />Per exception page, Western Pipe would grant a 5% discount on all items if <br />awarded all the bid. Total cost would be FORTY TWO THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY <br />NINE DOLLARS AND FIFTY NINE CENTS ($42,489.59) with the discount. <br />It is my recommendation that we use alternate two and award the bids to <br />both Utility Supply and Western Pipe. <br />If you should have any questions, please advise. <br />JH/lw <br />Attachments <br /> <br />C~ <br />
