~ ~ <br />• <br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />• <br />T0: MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL y DATE: 12-2-81 <br />FROM: J.L. SEASE, FIRE CHIEF ,f`~ <br />SUBJECT: BIDS FOR AERIAL APPA//RATUS FOR THE .FIRE DEPARTMENT <br />ON NOVEMBER 23, 1981, BIDS WERE RECEIVED FOR AN AERIAL <br />APPARATUS. BIDS WERE SUBMITTED BY THREE VENDORS: <br />COMPANY PRICE DELIVERY TIME <br />PIERCE MANUFACTURING $282,860.00 300-365 DAYS <br />READI-TOWER CORPORATION 315,995.00 365 DAYS <br />SUTPHEN CORPORATION 346,142.00 365-420 DAYS <br />THE LOW BIDDER'S BID IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. UNDER OUR SPECIFICATIONS. <br />OF THE OTHER TWO BIDS, THE HIGHEST BID FROM SUTPHEN CORPORATION <br />IS THE BETTER BID. <br />I FEEL THAT THE DIFFERENCE IN PRICE IS MORE THAN OFFSET BY <br />THEIR EQUIPMENTS SUPERIOR CAPABILITIES.. THEY MORE CLOSELY MATCH <br />OUR SPECIFICATIONS. ALSO, BY BOTH BIDDERS OWN LIST OF PRIOR <br />SALES, SUTPHEN CORPORATION HAS A MUCH HIGHER EXPERIENCE FACTOR. <br />SUTPHEN LISTS 266 AERIAL TOWERS SOLD, MANY TO REPEAT BUYERS, <br />VERSUS 4 BY READI-TOWER. SUTPHEN WILL POST A PERFORMANCE BOND <br />WITH THE CITY IF AWARDED THE BID. THEREFORE, I RECOMMEND THE <br />CITY AWARD THE BID TO SUTPHEN CORPORATION. <br />• <br />
