REGULAR MEETING <br />MAY 30, 1995 <br />Mr. Chlebowski stated that this was not the low bid received, and the explanation for not accepting <br />the low bid is as follows: <br />The bid of Tom Naquin Chevrolet, 2500 W. Lexington, Elkhart, Indiana, did not meet <br />specifications: <br />1. Engine: CAT 3116 Diesel engine is not a wet sleeved engine as specified. A wet <br />sleeved engine is less costly, and takes less time to rebuild when needed. <br />2. Frame: The specifications called for a R.B.M. of 3,421,000 in/lbs. minimum. The <br />model C71-1042 has a R.B.M. of 2,960,100 in/lbs. The frame strength (RBM) is very <br />important to this type of vehicle that carries heavy loads and is subject to a lot of <br />corrosion (salt) in the winter months. <br />3. It is a concern of the user department that the cab bid when equipped with an air ride <br />seat does not have enough head room clearance. The vendor had the capability of <br />bidding a unit with four (4) extra inches of cab space. <br />Therefore, Mrs. Manier made a motion that the recommendation be accepted and the bid be awarded <br />as outlined above. Mr. Caldwell seconded the motion which carried. <br />AWARD BID - JANITORIAL SUPPLIES <br />Mr. George S.
