The City <br />of La Porte also required the successful vendor to supply three bulk tanks <br />with hose and pump for no extra charge. Garage supplies were divided into <br />two categories; Section I - Bulk Products, and Section II - Assorted Shop <br />Supplies. <br />The overall low bid was submitted by Jones Oil Company of Houston, Texas. <br />Prices averaged 8y lower than pricing under the current 1982-83 contract. <br />A thorough review of bulk products bid indicates that all specifications <br />have either been met or exceeded by Jones Oil Co. <br />Low bid on Section II meeting specifications was submitted by Chickering Oil <br />Co. of Houston, Texas. Prices submitted by Chickering Oil averaged two (2) <br />percent below prices being paid under the current 1982-83 contract. <br />I hereby recommend awarding the 1984-85 contract for bulk products, Section I, <br />to ,Tones Oil Co. and the 1984-85 contract for garage supplies, Section II, to <br />Chickering Oil Co. on the basis of low bid meeting specifications.
