<br />Mr. Leszczynski advised that the Board is in receipt of a
<br />Memorandum from Mr. Carl P. Littrell, Director, Division of
<br />Engineering, indicating that on January 11, 1993, the Board
<br />received two (2) bids for the above project. The bids were one
<br />lump sum price to furnish and install one 75,000 pound truck lift

<br />Corporation of Bloomington, Indiana, bid $79,883.00.
<br />Mr. Littrell recommended that the Board award the contract to
<br />Safetylane Equipment, the higher bidder, because the bid from
<br />SEFAC is not responsive to the requirements of the specifications
<br />for this project. The equipment that SEFAC proposed in their bid
<br />documents, an Omer brand Model Vega 325, falls short of the lift
<br />capacity, dimensional sizes of the lift platform and clearances.
<br />Additionally, the electrical controls for the Vega lift have not
