• CITY OF LA PORTE <br />POLICE DEPARTMENA <br />INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mr Robert T. Herrera, City Manager <br />FROM: Charles E. Smith, Chief Of Police <br />SUBJECT: Sealed Bid #0309, Reject and Re bid Date: 3/7/89 <br />Sir, <br />Sealed bid #0309 was opened on February 21, 1989. Bid requests <br />were mailed to (8) eight area vendors with (6) six returning bids. <br />1. <br />Les Marks Chevrolet <br />19,674.02 <br />2. <br />Timmers Chevrolet <br />19,776.94 <br />3. <br />Tramonte - Dodge <br />199848.20 <br />Chevrolet <br />20,071.52 <br />4. <br />Knapp Chevrolet <br />20,100.00 <br />5. <br />Joe Camp <br />209495.00 <br />6. <br />Chuck Miller <br />21,121.39 <br />The specifications on a 3/4 ton humane truck replacement, were <br />released specifying a four(4) speed transmission (overdrive). The Ford <br />dealers bid a (4) four speed. The General Motors dealers did not <br />because General Motors does not put a four(4) speed transmission in <br />this size truck. <br />After re-examination of the specifications and conferring with <br />Dick Root, Equipment Services Superintendant it was determined that a <br />standard automatic transmission was all that was necessary for this <br />vehicle. <br />Since some of the dealers bid on a (4) four speed transmission and <br />others did not, it would be fair to all concerned to reject this bid <br />and re -bid. <br />Staff recommends rejection of bid #0309 and request permission to <br />re bid after specifications have been re written. <br />C.E. Smith <br />Chief Of Police <br />
