(WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT)
Mr. Carl P. Littrell, Director, Division of Engineering, advised
the Board that on February 1, 1993, bids were received and opened
for the above referred to project. After reviewing those bids,
Mr. Littrell recommends that the Board award two (2) contracts
for this work. The work is divided into Division A and B and a
different contractor was the low bidder in each division.
Mr. Littrell recommended that the Board award Division A to
Fairbanks Morse Pump Corporation, 3601 Fairbanks Avenue, Kansas
City, Kansas, in the amount of $34,781.00 and Division B to
HydroAire, Inc., 834 West Madison, Chicago, Illinois, in the

AWARD BID - SCISSORS LIFT AND INSTALLATION - SANITATION
DEPARTMENT GARAGE EXPANSION AND RENOVATION PROJECT
Mr. Leszczynski advised that the Board is in receipt of a
Memorandum from Mr. Carl P. Littrell, Director, Division of
Engineering, indicating that on January 11, 1993, the Board
received two (2) bids for the above project. The bids were one
lump sum price to furnish and install one 75,000 pound truck lift
in the Sanitation Department garage addition now under
construction.
Mr. Littrell noted that SEFAC Lift and Equipment Corporation of
Columbia, Maryland bid $69,000.00. Safetylane Equipment
Corporation of Bloomington, Indiana, bid $79,883.00.
Mr. Littrell recommended that the Board award the contract to
Safetylane Equipment, the higher bidder, because the bid from
SEFAC is not responsive to the requirements of the specifications
for this project. The equipment that SEFAC proposed in their bid
documents, an Omer brand Model Vega 325, falls short of the lift
capacity, dimensional sizes of the lift platform and clearances.
Additionally, the electrical controls for the Vega lift have not

yet been certified by an independent laboratory as required by
the specifications.
Mr. Dennis N. Nichols, Regional Manager, SEFAC Lift & Equipment
Corporation, was present and advised members of the Board that he
was present to enter a protest and to advise the Board that SEFAC
feels that they do meet specifications. Mr. Nichols submitted
to the Board a letter of protest and miscellaneous
documentation.
In response to an inquiry from Mr. Leszczynski, Mr. Littrell
advised that his recommendation was based on information supplied
with the bid. Mr. Littrell further advised that he had asked
SEFAC to provide further documentation. He stated that he did
receive a letter from the President of SEFAC indicating that they
would provide a lift that will meet specifications but they did
not provide any other documentation on how they intended to do
so. The documentation provided by SEFAC with their bid described
a lift that failed to meet City specifications in significant
ways.
Mrs. Mueller inquired of Mr. Littrell in what areas SEFAC did not
meet the City's specifications. Mr. Littrell noted SEFAC did not
meet specifications in the areas of dimensions of the lift
platform and certification of the electrical controls. He noted
that it is important that certification be provided that meets
OSHA and ANSI requirements for safety to the workers. Also, the
dimensions of the the lift are important to fit the size of
equipment the City has to put on the lift. He also noted that
the model bid did not meet the 75,000 pound lift capacity or the
clearance requirement specified by the City.
Therefore, Mrs. Mueller made a motion that the Board reject the
low bid of SEFAC as non -responsive and award the bid of
Safetylane Equipment Corporation, 115 North College, Suite 211,
Bloomington, Indiana, in the amount of $79,883.00. Mr.
Leszczynski seconded the motion which carried.
Mr. Leszczynski advised Mr. Nichols that it is critical that all
appropriate documentation be provided at the time of bidding and
not after all bids have been opened and publicly read.
