TO: Members of the Common Council <br />RE: Wastewater Treatment Plant <br />Portable Air Compressor <br />FROM: John L. Hunter, Superintendent of Utilities <br />This follows the same procedure as the Ordinance from the <br />Water Works purchasing their compressor. Bids were taken <br />on January 20, 1969, as follows: <br />A. H. Choitz & Company $4,056.00 <br />General Equipment & Machine Co., Inc 4,540.00 <br />Korte Brothers, Incorporated 3,995.00 <br />Stockberger Machinery, Incorporated 3,101.00 <br />Indiana Equipment Company, Incorporated 3,900.00 <br />The Board referred the bids to my office for consideration. <br />After a review with Mr. Louis Rague, Superintendent of <br />Operations, and Mr. Lloyd S. Taylor, City Engineer, the <br />low bid of Stockberger Machinery, Incorporated, was accepted. <br />Our recommendation was given to the Board on February 3, <br />1969, and a contract was entered into on that date. <br />The unit to be traded is a Jegger Portable Compressor and <br />it is ten years old. The unit is deteriorated to a point <br />where repairs are too costly. It does not perform the job <br />for which it is needed. This old unit is very hard to start <br />in the morning and has been inoperative most of this winter. <br />It has been necessary to lease a compressor, on a short -term <br />basis, so that emergency jobs can be completed. Due to the <br />age of the equipment, it will no longer function properly. <br />t <br />CITE <br />aTH,'YN L <br />Ci -, <br />Q " DEEP.), IND. <br />
