Farrand at 10:55 a.n. on Monday, December 13 <br />with Mr. Farrand and Mr. Mullen present. Also in attendance <br />were Fire Chief Oscar Van Wiele and Deputy City Attorney Georgia <br />Luks. <br />Mr. Farrand reported that the purpose of'the special meeting was <br />to discuss the evaluation .of the bids received for Fire Department <br />hose. The Board has reviewed the bids with the Fire Department as <br />subrlitted and notes that -there is insufficient data to evaluate the <br />two bidders who took exception to the specifications for bilateral <br />hose. It has been determined that the bids should be rejected and <br />new bids advertised, with bid opening on December 27. The Board <br />intends to change the specifications to include the term "bilateral <br />hose or equivalent". The specifications are also to state that anyone <br />who submits a bid must also submit underwriter's laboratory test <br />results or third party equivalent test results to the Board with <br />their bid and must identify for the Board Fire Departrients who are <br />using this hose within a two hundred mile radius of South Bend. <br />The specifications are also to state that the Board reserves the <br />right to accept individually any one of the three classes of hose <br />bid without accepting the entire bid without an adjustment in the <br />bid price. All bidders will be required to submit a twelve -inch <br />sanple with their bid. Mr. Farrand made a motion that the Board <br />reject all bids received for fire hose and readvertise for bids in <br />accordance with the specification changes discussed above. Mr. <br />Pullen seconded the motion and it carried. <br />There being no further business to come before the special meeting, <br />upon motion made by Mr. Farrand, seconded by Mr. Mullen and <br />carried, the special r_ieeting adjourned at 11:10 a.m. <br />1 <br />ATTEST: <br />Patricia DeClercq, Cler: <br />1 <br />Rollin E.
