<br />lbs. mainly as a safety factor.
<br />with a weight of 15,314 lbs.
<br />Brandeis bid a machine
<br />3. Specifications call for an extended warranty, availability
<br />of service facilities, parts availability and first
<br />preference of machines manufactured in the USA. The
<br />Brandeis bid does not offer an extended warranty to
<br />municipal customers. Their service facility is located in
<br />Fort Wayne and they do not have a parts book available
<br />even to them. Their machine is manufactured in England
<br />and everything is in metric requiring new tools for the
<br />City's service facility.
<br />Mr. Kruszynski stated that based on the failure of Brandeis
<br />Equipment to meet the required specifications he is recommending
<br />that the Board accept and award the bid of MacDonald Machinery in
<br />the amount of $53,700.00.
<br />Therefore, Mrs. Mueller made a motion that the Board award the
<br />bid of second lowest bidder, MacDonald Machinery Company, Inc.,
<br />3911 Limestone Drive, Fort Wayne, Indiana, as the low bidder,
<br />Brandeis Equipment, did not meet specifications in significant
<br />respects. Mr. Caldwell seconded the motion which carried.
