Low bid was submitted <br />by Dyna-Pak Corporation in the amount of $0.513 per pound, or a total cost of $71,820. This <br />represents a 16% increase over the last purchase in November 2000 ($0.4429/lb or $70,864.00 <br />for 160,000 lbs). H-GAC's current price is $0.620 per pound, or $86,800. <br />The proposed purchase exceeds the current budgeted amount by $23,354, due to the recent <br />increase in oil prices, which directly affect the price of plastic.
