All bids were in order and acceptable. • Comparisons of equipment construction and function were made between all alternates offered to dete rmine equality. Based on this study, the recommended equipment is so marked on the tabulation sheet. Low bids were recommended where equipment was considered equal. The total cost of equip- ment on both bids is approximately $600.00 less than the estimate due to the lesser cost of the mini-shelte rs. If there are any questions concerning this matter, I will be present at the May 7, meeting to discuss them.
