REGULAR MEETING MAY 4, 1992 <br />however, that the City could deduct $6,500.00 from the bid price <br />if it would substitute a four foot (41) boom. Because of its <br />placement on the machine, the Vactor's four foot (41) boom has a <br />bigger reach than the Vac-Con's five foot (51) boom. In other <br />words, the City could allow a deduction of $6,500.00 from the bid <br />for a Vactor thereby making it the low bidder, and still have a <br />machine with a bigger reach than the five foot (51) boom Vac -Con <br />machine. This is pointed out not because it is recommended to go <br />with the smaller boom but because if both are compared in that <br />regard, the bid for the Vactor is actually the lowest bid. <br />Based on the failure of the low bidder to meet the specifications <br />in significant respects, it is the recommendation of the <br />Department of Sanitation that the bid be awarded to <br />Deeds Equipment Company, Inc., 8015 East 45th Street, P.O. Box <br />26036, Lawrence, Indiana, for a total bid price of $139,989.00. <br />Board Attorney Mary H. Mueller indicated that the low bidder, <br />Best Equipment Company, was rejected as they failed to meet <br />specifications and she therefore agrees with the recommendation <br />and makes a motion to award the bid of Deeds Equipment, the next <br />low bidder. Mr. Caldwell seconded the motion which carried. <br />APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 - PLUMBING WORK - FIRE STATION ##4 <br />Mr. Leszczynski stated that the Board is in receipt of a letter <br />from Fire Chief Luther Taylor advising that on March 16, 1992, <br />the Board approved and awarded the Quotation of Niezgodski <br />Plumbing, Inc., in the amount of $2,366.88 to replace internal <br />water lines at Fire Station *4 located at 220 North Olive Street. <br />Chief Taylor noted that the work to be performed consisted of <br />replacing internal water lines that were known to be restricted <br />causing a significant decrease in water pressure. By replacing <br />those lines, the low water pressure was improved but did not <br />completely correct the problem. In order to completely correct <br />this problem, additional internal water lines need to be replaced <br />and therefore Chief Taylor is recommending that the additional <br />water lines be replaced increasing the project by $2,070.88 for a <br />new cost of $4,437.76. <br />Mr. Caldwell made a motion that the recommendation be accepted <br />and the additional work and cost be approved. Mrs. Mueller <br />seconded the motion which carried. <br />APPROVE REQUEST OF AIDS MINISTRIES COMMITTEE TO CONDUCT WALK - <br />MAY 17, 1992 <br />Mr. Leszczynski advised that the appropriate City departments and <br />bureaus have reviewed the above referred to request which was <br />submitted to the Board on April 27, 1992, and approval is <br />recommended. Therefore, Mrs. Mueller made a motion that the <br />request be approved subject to the Petitioner executing an <br />Indemnification Agreement. Mr. Leszczynski seconded the motion <br />which carried. <br />DENY REQUEST TO CLOSE TWYCKENHAM, FROM COLFAX TO WASHINGTON, IN <br />CONJUNCTION WITH WEDDING RECEPTION - MAY 9, 1992 <br />Mr. Leszczynski advised that the above referred to request, which <br />was submitted to the Board on April 27, 1992, has been reviewed <br />by the necessary City departments and bureaus and denial is <br />recommended based on the fact that Twyckenham Drive is a major <br />north/south thoroughfare that carries very heavy traffic and <br />cannot be closed. <br />Mr. Leszczynski noted that it appears that the street was not <br />actually going to be utilized for the wedding reception itself <br />but was for the safety of the guests. Mrs. Mueller noted that <br />
