During <br />delivery from the factory in Ohio, the unit was involved in an <br />accident, making delivery impossible due to severe damage to the <br />truck. <br />Industrial Disposal Supply has stated that they are unable <br />to perform by July 20, 1985. The need for the unit is magnified <br />by the equipment problems experienced with the truck presently in <br />service, necessitating the use of trash crews and equipment to <br />collect commercial garbage. <br />Tre City has located a similar vehicle, available for <br />immediate delivery, at a cost below origional bid price. It is <br />requested that the contract with Industrial Disposal Supply be <br />cancelled, and authorization given to obtain emergency permission <br />from Council to purchase an available unit on the open market that <br />is close to the City of La Porte specifications. <br />If you should have any question, please advise. <br />JH/nb <br />ca <br />
