After reviewing those bids, Mr. <br />Chlebowski recommends that the Board award the contract to Wise International, 4849 West <br />Western, South Bend, Indiana in the amount of $190,421.88. <br />Wise International *Rejected* <br />Body by W.A.

Jones has not been responsive to the request to see a completed unit as bid. <br />The City has not owned a unit of this make and model. A unit was requested so it could determined <br />if the unit bid is responsive to ter specification. After working with the vendor for more than five <br />weeks, they were still unable to provide a unit for inspection. <br />Proof has not been given to the City of South Bend that the radius dimensions of the dump body is <br />sufficient to accommodate the leaf boxes without modification. At present, the leaf boxes are all <br />interchangeable with all dump bodies (single axle to single axle, tandem to tandem). If a unit should <br />break down for a lengthy repair, the leaf box can be removed and placed in another unit with minor <br />down time or disruption to the Leaf Program. The specification deviation of a two inch radius is the <br />basis for rejection, and is therefore unresponsive. Therefore, Mr. Gilot made a motion that the <br />recommendation be accepted and the bid be awarded as outlined above. Mr. Littrell seconded the, <br />motion which carried. <br />APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT - INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS - SANITARY SEWER <br />ON PORTAGE AVENUE - TEACHERS CREDIT UNION <br />Mr. Gilot stated that the Board is in receipt of an Agreement between the City of South Bend and <br />Teachers Credit Union, 110 Main, South Bend, Indiana, for the above referred to project.
