Mr. McMahon made a motion to accept the low bid of Gates Chevrolet Company. Joseph Gawrysiak, Director Division of Transportation, was present and advised the Board that the unit this will replace is used twenty -four hours a day, seven days a week and it requires almost continual repair to keep it operating. It is anticipated that repair costs will more than exceed the $321 difference in the bid prices if the Department must wait for delivery of the unit from Gates. Mr. Brunner asked what type of repairs are being made on the vehicle and Mr. Gawrysiak said the unit has required rear end repairs, drive shaft repairs and replacement of tires.

Mr. Brunner seconded the motion and it carried. Mr. McMahon advised Mr. Gawrysiak that, in the future, when delivery time is of critical importance, it be made a part of the bid specifications.
