• <br />~~ / CITY OF LA FORTE <br />. ~ <br />~ PHONE ( 713 ) 471.5020 • P. O. BOX 1 1 15 • LA FORTE, TEXAS 77571 <br />January 25 , 1978 <br />T0: Honorable P~layor <br />and City Commission <br />FR~'I: Larry L. Broussard, <br />City Administrator <br />RE'ERF~TCE: Bids accepted for two (2) 1978 compact cars at the last Council <br />Meeting. <br />It is my recommendation that all bids received on these two cars be rejected. <br />I would like to request permission to re-advertise for bids for two cars of <br />the same size that were recently purchased by the Police Department. <br />It is my thinking that we should get a fleet of automobiles of approximately <br />• the same size in order that we may stock the necessary parts for these vehicles <br />instead of carrying a stock for each different size vehicle. <br />My concern is the safety of the car. A medium size autanobile, when involved <br />in an accident, it seems, would be less dangerous than the very smallest auto- <br />mobile made. I personally would like to stay with a small, American-made <br />automobile rather than going with a foreign autanobile. Since our mechanics <br />are required to furnish their own tools, they would also have to personally <br />buy a set of metric tools for these foreign automobiles. <br />If this meets with your approval, I hereby request that we rebid these auto- <br />mobiles. I will be happy to supply anew set of specifications. <br />Sincerely, <br />a~ <br />Larry L. Broussard, <br />City Administrator <br />LLB/md <br /> <br />
