SIDE LOADING AUTO PACKER AND FIVE (5) <br />25 C.Y. REAR LOADING AUTO PACKERS <br />Board Attorney and Member Mary H. Mueller informed members of the <br />Board that Hill Truck Sales, Inc., 1011 West Sample Street, South <br />Bend, Indiana, was low bidder for one (1) 27 yard side loading <br />auto packer in the amount of $116,104.00. <br />Mrs. Mueller further noted that Zent's Truck Sales, 6806 Parrott <br />Road, Fort Wayne, Indiana, was the low bidder at $491,880.00 for <br />five (5) 25 yard rear loading auto packers. However, in a letter <br />to the Board, Mr. Robert Kruszynski, Manager, Department of <br />Sanitation, advised that the bid of Zent's did not meet <br />specifications in significant areas. Some of the most serious <br />failures are: <br />1. Specifications call for a high compaction unit. The <br />unit bid by Zent's does not offer high compaction. <br />2. Specifications call for the hopper floor to be a <br />minimum of seven (7) gauge steel and the roof to be ten <br />(10) gauge steel. The unit bid by Zent's is ten (10) <br />gauge for the hopper floor and eleven (11) gauge for <br />the roof. <br />3. Specifications call for the floor and side strength to <br />be a minimum of 150,000 P.S.I. The unit bid by Zent's <br />is rated at 100,000/80,000 P.S.I. respectively. <br />4. In the area of the ejection cylinder, specifications <br />call for a smooth floor. The unit bid by Zent's <br />provides a trough floor. <br />5. Specifications call for a 15,000 lb. lift for receiving <br />system. The unit bid by Zent's is only 12,000 lb. <br />Based on the needs for longevity, use, strength and the failure of <br />Zent's Truck Sales to meet the required specifications on the 25 <br />yard packer unit, Mr. Kruszynski noted that they are recommending <br />the acceptance of Hill Truck Sales total bid of $622,274.00 for <br />all six (6) units. Mr. Kruszynski further noted that these bids <br />were evaluated with no trade-ins being offered. It was noted that <br />
