Ray - Purchasing Agent SUBJECT: Sealed Bid #0101, 0102, 0103 nd 0104 Advertised, sealed bids 40101, 0102, 0103 and 0104 for the purchase of General Auto Parts and Dealer Parts were opened and read in City Council Chambers June 10, 1985 at 4 p.m. Sealed bids 440101 for General Auto Supplies were mailed to sixteen area dealers with six dealers returning bids. (See Tabulation) Specifications were based upon vendors bidding a discount off of manufacturers' list price. Low overall bid based on specifications was submitted by Allen & Kerber Parts, Inc. of La Porte, Texas based upon the following discounts: I. A. Engine Parts - List less 517 B. Cooling System Parts - List less 517 C. Electrical Parts - List less 567 D. .Fuel System - List less 517 E. Exhaust System - List less 557 F. Clutch Parts - List less 517 G.

Body, Frame and Wheel - List less 537 Bids 440102 for Chevrolet Dealer Parts were mailed to sixteen area Chevrolet Parts dealers with the following five returning bids: (1) Jimmie Green Chev., (2) Ron Craft Chev., (3) Bob Robertson Chev., (4) Jay Marks Chev., and (5) Knapp Chev. Apparent low bid was submitted by Ron Craft Chev. of Baytown at 287 discount off list and second low bid was 277 discount off list by Jimmie Green Chev. of Houston. Visits to both dealerships indicated that they were no better stocked than Les Marks Chev. who was third low bid at 257 discount off of list price. I don't feel that the 37 difference between first and third low bid is significant enough to make up for the increased cost of doing business with dealerships thirty-five miles from the Public Works Service Center. ~~. ~~ . ~,~ n~'
