0 REGULAR MEETING 5. Items not included in the bid proposal Fuel fired hot water booster adds an additional $3,500.00. FEBRUARY 5. 1996 The bid of Marque, Inc. for $110,965.00 failed to meet specifications. After reviewing the specifications with representatives of Marque Inc., the Fire Department asked that they place in writing what they plan to provide as to the Unit they bid. As of this date, no written documentation has been received from Marque Inc. as to their bid proposal. Marque,, Inc. is taking exception entirely to the specifications and they have an open end delivery date. The Fire Department feels that when specifications are written, they are asking for a Unit that meets the needs of the Department and to provide a Unit that will last the projected life of the Unit. The open end delivery is unacceptable, due to the fact that the Fire Department has a reserve Unit in service and delivery is important to place the new Unit in service as soon as possible. Also, what they have indicated verbally are the following exceptions that do not meet the specifications. 1. Exterior compartment shelving 2. Modular door construction 3. Interior cabinet distribution center 4. Electrical distribution center 5. Primary interior lighting 6. Patient area heating/air conditioning Therefore, Mr. Caldwell made a motion that the recommendation be accepted and the bid be awarded as outlined above.
