Mr. Mike <br />Grady of Western International stated that his firm and the city <br />were trying to work around a specified delivery schedule,,and he <br />stated that his company would be able to guarantee delivery within <br />the time specified of the total bid award because of Shamrock Ford's <br />intent to reject a partial award. He asked the Board to consider <br />this fact in making its decision. Mr. Sean Watt,.Director of the <br />Division of Transportation, stated that Shamrock Ford had gone on <br />record as indicating it would not accept a partial award and had <br />submitted a letter to the Board stating it would reject the award. <br />He asked that the Board proceed to award the entire proposal to <br />Western International in view of Shamrock Ford's rejection of a <br />partial award. He expressed concern about a time delay and possible <br />delivery problems of all the equipment prior to the winter season. <br />Mr. Kernan stated that it was the Board's position that the bid bond <br />and proposal submitted by Shamrock Ford covered a part of or all <br />items bid, and he felt Shamrock Ford should be given the opportunity <br />to supply the vehicles awarded. He stated that the basis for the <br />partial award to Shamrock was the lower price. Mr. Hill did not <br />feel a week's delay would jeapordize the delivery schedule, and he <br />felt that, at the next Board meeting, the city would be able to re - <br />award the two tandem axle truck chassis to Western International if <br />Shamrock Ford chose to default its contract. He stated that the city <br />had the option to proceed on the bid bond against Shamrock Ford in <br />order to obtain the two chassis in accordance with the bid award. <br />Upon a motion made by Mr. Kernan, seconded by Mr. Hill and carried, <br />the Board approved the corrected bid amount of $85,350.00 to Western <br />International and confirmed the awards made on August 17, 1981, to <br />Shamrock Ford in the amount of $14,207.00 and to Western International <br />in the correct amount of $85,350.00.
