Dear Mayor Malone:
We are currently preparing a project with an anticipated July 1988 letting,
to widen Loop 410 to a 4-lane divided section with curb and gutters. All
work will be within the corporate limits of LaPorte as described in the
attachments to this letter.
In the interest of safety, it is desirable to establish a reduced speed zone

LaPorte during construction operations. Please establish the recommended
zone by council action at your next regular meeting.
This draft is so written that it is automatically canceled upon completion
of this project. If you concur, please return a copy of your ordinance for
our files and further handling.

Bid Tabulations
On May 4, 1988, the City of La Porte opened bids for purchase of
sixty (60) electric golf cars for La Porte's Bay Forest Golf
Course.
The City received bid packages from five (5) companies which are
listed as follows:
OPTION N0. ~ BIDS
1. Associated Battery Supply $132,444.00
2. Melex USA, Inc. $133,188.00
3. E-Z-Go Textron $152,755.20
4. Columbia Parcar Corp. $154,519.20
5. Watson Distributing $162,007.48
The bid was designed to receive 3 different payment options. By
using options No. 3, the low bid meeting all specifications was
the E-Z-Go car by Textron.
Staff recommends award of the bid to E-Z-Go for sixty (60)
electric golf cars in the amount of $152,755.20 which is their
option No. 3 bid. Option No. 3 was selected because it allows for
payment of the cars as they are producing revenue and will
conserve current working capital. By investing this working
capital at an average interest rate of 6.7%, the City will incur
an additional expense of $1,537.17 by selecting option No. 3
versus paying cash at delivery.
Action Required by Coun >>-
Approve the purchase of 60 E-Z-Go golf cars in the amount of
$152,755.20, under payment option No. 3 which is 4 equal payments
of $38,188.80.

FROM:

JOHN JOERNS, ASSIST T CITY MANAGER
JOEL H. ALBRECHT, CTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
GOLF CAR BIDS
As the City of La Porte considers golf cars for the Bay Forest Golf
Course there are some basic needs that should be considered as part of
the recommendation. These basic needs are:
1) The cars should have a history of good continuous operation
since they will be generating approximately 30~ of the total
revenue for the golf course operation.
2) The cars should be backed by a good warranty with a full
service local company servicing the warranty.
3) The cars need to have a history of low maintenance, with a
local company providing an adequate supply of parts for
service as needed.
4) The company providing the golf cars need to show a history of
fleet car operation in the Gulf Coast area due to our special
problems with rust and chemical corrosion.
On May 4, 1988, the City opened and read bids received from 5
companies for 60 electric golf cars. The bids received were from
Associated Battery Supply for Melex Cars, Melex U.S.A., also for Melex
cars, Columbia Par Car for the Par Car, E-Z-Go Textron for the E-Z-Go
car, and from Watson Distributing for the Club Car. The bid
specifications included a request for a copy of the standard
manufacturers warranty. The warranty was to include one year full
warranty on materials and workmanship for parts and labor, two years
full warranty on parts and a five year full warranty to be extended
for parts and labor on body parts and frame rust through.
All of the bidders have several exceptions to the specifications with
the exception of E-Z-Go and Club Car. They meet all of the
specifications.
The bid by Melex U.S.A. and Associated Battery have provided a
"special warranty" for La Porte Bay Forest Golf Course covering "rust
through". They also have four other exceptions to the bid
specifications which include color, seats, front and rear suspension
and a non-adjustable worm gear type of steering.
• •
Golf Car Bids
May 17, 1988
Page 2
The bids by Melex U.S.A. and Associated Battery are not recommended by
staff for the following reasons:
1) The two piece seats make access to the batteries more difficult
2) The non-adjustable worm gear type of steering is an older type
that generally wears out rapidly and makes the steering quite
loose.
3) The total leaf spring suspension generally wears out faster
than the combination of leaf springs and shock absorbers.
Columbia Par Car in staff's opinion should be excluded from
consideration due to their warranty specifically excluding rust and
corrosion and 5 other exceptions which include angled bag rack, bucket
seats, color, suspension and tow system.
The bid was designed to receive three different options for the 60
cars. Those options are as follows:
Option No. 1-was for total cash payment for the 60 cars.
Option No. 2-was for two payments; one covering 40 cars
at delivery with final payment for the
remaining 20 cars in eighteen months.
Option No. 3-was for four equal payments six months apart with
final payment due 18 months after delivery.
Option No. 3 will spread the payment of the cars over an eighteen (18)
month period (three fiscal years). Staff realizes this option
deviates from our normal "pay-as-you-go" philosophy, but since the
golf course is a new operation, staff's opinion is to pay for the cars
as they are producing revenue and thereby conserve current working
capital.
It is staff's recommendation to proceed to award bid to E-Z-Go Textron
for 60 golf cars and applying option No. 3 for payment in the amount
of $152,755.20.
