<br />SPECIAL MEETING AUGUST 7, 2006
<br />complied with the specifications, only the label was defective. The remaining three
<br />disorepancies do not appear to be material.' The microphone strap, for example, was only
<br />- half the size requested. However, Securitex did not include any microphone strap. There
<br />are -only .seven rather than eight snaps to secure the liner to the underside of the
<br />~caistband, although this was substantial compliance, and Securitex provided only five of
<br />the eight. Finally, the "D" ring (Item 18.6.3) was located in the correct pocket but
<br />incorrectly within the pocket. It is my opinion that none of these discrepancies was a
<br />material variation. To accept the Morning Pride bid while rejecting Securitex's would
<br />still be treating all offers fairly in accordance with IC 5-2~-9-9.
<br />Chief Taylor further stated that the Fire Department met with Environmental Services, to
<br />make them aware of their deficiencies.
<br />(liter reviewing these two (2) bids, Chief Taylor recommends that the Board award the
<br />contract to Total Fire Protection in the amount of $1,462.88 per set, for a total award of
<br />$362,794.24. Therefore, Mr. Littrell made a motion that the bid of Environmental
<br />Services be rejected as non-responsive, and the bid be awarded to Total Fire
<br />Protection/Morning Pride; Post Office Box.136616, .Dayton, Ohio, as outlined above.
<br />Mr.' Inks seconded the motion, which carried.
