REGULAR MEETING MAY 22. 1995 <br />4. High Pressure Water System: The specifications state that the high pressure water <br />systems operate at 35 GPM and 60 GPM at a continuous 2,000 P.S.I. On the Vactor <br />Model 2110 the change in GPM while maintaining the 2,000 P.S.I. is accomplished <br />by turning a control knob at the operator's station. On the Vac -Con model <br />390THA/1000 the change in GPM while maintaining the 2,000 P.S.I. is <br />accomplished by changing the size of hose (600 ft) and the nozzle size, or by <br />changing the stuffing boxes, plungers and packing in the water pump (items not <br />supplied in the bid). Whichever method used would be very time consuming and <br />decrease productivity. Also the water pump cannot be disconnected from its power <br />source as specified. In case of an emergency the auxiliary engine needs to be shut <br />off to stop the 2,000 P.S.I. <br />Other areas not to specifications: <br />Vac -Con uses three (3) steel fans instead of two (2) aluminum fans. <br />The pick-up hose rotation is a gear type drive instead of hydraulic as specified. <br />High pressure water pump belts driven not hydraulic as specified. <br />No oil to water heat exchanger for hydraulic oil as specified. <br />No monitor light to indicate when designed flow or pressure is exceeded. <br />Rear engine gauges on traffic side of truck. <br />Vac -Con did not bid options or extended warranties. <br />Therefore, Mr. Leszczynski made a motion that the recommendation be accepted and the bid be <br />awarded as outlined above. Mrs. Manier seconded the motion which carried. <br />AWARD BID - LIGHT BULBS <br />Mr. George Zana, Purchasing Manager, Division of Equipment Services, advised the Board that on <br />May 8, 1995, bids were received and opened for the above referred to items.
