<br />bids, Mr. Miller recommends that the Board award the contract to Shearer Communications, Inc.,
<br />South Bend, Indiana the amount of $91,902.00. It is noted that Shearer Communications, Inc. was
<br />not the lowest bidder. The bids of D&L Communications, 3512 Cavalier Drive, Fort Wayne,
<br />Indiana, and J&K, 2225 S. Tower View Drive, Columbia City, Indiana, the low and second -low
<br />bidders, fail to meet specifications in several respects. The following conclusions were provided to
<br />the Board:
<br />Recommendation:
<br />1. Reject J & K's bid as their equipment does not meet all published specifications, with no
<br />exceptions requested, and it is felt the system bid will not meet requirements for public safe
<br />use.
<br />2. Reject D & L's bid as their equipment does not meet all published specifications, with no
<br />exceptions requested, and the satellite receivers that were bid will probably be discontinued
<br />the first quarter of 1995.
<br />3. Both ERS and Shearer's proposals utilized identical equipment which met all
<br />published specifications without exceptions.
