<br />Mr. Rob Nichols, Engineering, advised the Board that on December 27, 2011, bids were received
<br />and opened for the above referenced equipment. After reviewing those bids, Mr. Ronald
<br />Sinopoli, Turner Construction Company, Consultant, recommended that the Board award the
<br />contract for the Medium Voltage Switchgear Package to the lowest responsive and responsible
<br />bidder Brownstone Electric Supply Company, Inc., 690 East State Rd. 250, P.O. Box L,
<br />Brownstone, Indiana, in the amount of $155,780.00 for the Base Bid plus Alternates in the
<br />amount of $13,290.00, for a total of $169,070.00. Mr. Sinopoli recommended the Board award
<br />the Diesel Engine Generator Purchase to MacAllister Power Systems, 7575 East 30th St.,
<br />Indianapolis, Indiana 46219 in the Base Bid amount of $731,790.00 plus Alternates in the
<br />amount of $60,176.00, for a total of $791,966.00. Mr. Nichols recommended the Board approve
