FIRE DEPARTMENT <br />C I T Y O F L A P O RT <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />TO: JOE SEASE, FIRE CHIEF DATES/2/89 <br />FROM: JOHN C. DUNHAM, ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF <br />SUBJECT: SEALED FIRE HOSE BID #0317 <br />As instructed, I have contacted Mile-Hi T Fire Equipment Inc. to <br />clarify their bid on the four and five inch hose. I spoke with <br />several .persons at their company over a several day period. <br />Apparently the person who filled out the bid proposal was not <br />familiar with their product. They had to call their supplier to ask <br />questions about the hose, to see if it met our specifications. After <br />evaluating all the information supplied by the company, it is i <br />apparent that they cannot .meet specifications, primarily on the <br />couplings for the four inch hose. <br />Secondly, we only received one bid proposal. In discussing the . <br />matter with our Purchasing Manager, we found that two local vendors., <br />who normally bid municipal fire equipment were inadvertently not sent <br />bid proposals. <br />I feel we should reject the one bid received and re-bid at a <br />later date. We can also insure that the local vendors mentioned <br />receive bid proposals. <br />J n C. Dunham <br />ssistant Fire Chief <br />
