<br />This bid was in full compliance to the City's specifications.
<br />Mrs. Mueller noted that the two (2) lowest bidders did not meet
<br />specifications in significant ways. She noted that the three (3)
<br />low bids were approximately one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) apart
<br />and if the two (2) low bidders had meet specifications that dollar
<br />amount would have been much closer to the third lowest bidder.
<br />Mrs. Mueller noted that Fire Chief Luther Taylor has provided, in
<br />writing, the areas in which the two (2) lowest bidders did not
<br />meet specifications. The low bid submitted by Mobile Medical,
<br />Inc., was in the amount of $106,657.00. The second low bid
<br />submitted by Excellance, Inc., was in the amount of $107,715.00.
<br />The following items are exceptions or items not shown in the bids
<br />of Mobile Medical, Inc., and Excellance, Inc., which makes them
<br />non -responsive to the City's bid specifications:
<br />MOBILE MEDICAL, INC.
<br />DELIVERY TIMETABLE
<br />The delivery of this ambulance is important to the
<br />Department. The timetable listed in the bid does not give a
<br />definite delivery date. This does not meet specifications.
