• Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council December 16, 1981, Page 3 Company Pierce Manufacturing Readi-Tower Corp. Sutphen Corp. Price $282,860.00 315,995.00 346,142.00 Delivery Time 300-365 days 365 days 365-420 days Sease stated the low bidder's bid is not acceptable under our specifications. Of the other two bids, the high bid from Sutphen Corporation is the better bid. I feel the difference in price is offset by their equipment's superior capabilities. Sutphen more closely meets our specifications. Sutphen will post a performance bond with the City if awarded the bid, therefore I recommend the bid be awarded to Sutphen Corpora- tion in the amount of $346,142.00. • Amotion was made by Councilperson Simons to accept the recom- mendation of Fire Chief Sease and award the bid for aerial apparatus to Sutphen Corporation in the amount of 346,142.00 with delivery time 365 to 420 days and a performance bond posted with the City.
