/ �1 <br />4 V 03 <br />REGULAR MEETING <br />NOVEMBER 15, 1993 <br />EXTERIOR COMPARTMENT ARRANGEMENT <br />Dimensions in the specifications for exterior compartments <br />were designed for special use and storage. The dimensions <br />that are being furnished do not meet the specifications. <br />Some compartments are not deep enough which would require <br />equipment to be stored on end instead of flat and would <br />require shelves to be moved. <br />ACCESS TO RIGHT REAR COMPARTMENT <br />This compartment will be used to gain access to equipment <br />from inside the module. A solid aluminum door was requested <br />for strength and durability. All other compartment doors are <br />aluminum. There is no mention of access to left rear <br />compartment in specifications. This does not meet bid <br />specifications. Compartments lined with carpet are not <br />desirable as it is difficult to clean and decontaminate. <br />STREET SIDE CABINET WALL <br />The specifications specified that interior cabinets not be <br />welded into place. Design of interior cabinets are intended <br />for storage of specific equipment. The strategic location of <br />this equipment will enhance patient care. The ability to <br />change or relocate equipment in the future may be necessary. <br />Cabinets that are welded in place do not offer this <br />flexibility. This does not meet bid specifications. <br />EXTERIOR DOOR SWITCHES <br />Plunger type switches are being supplied by the bidder. This <br />type switch does not meet specifications. Magnetic switches <br />were requested. <br />PRIMARY INTERIOR LIGHTING EQUIPMENT <br />Providing adequate lighting in the patient area will enhance <br />attendant working conditions. On the other hand, providing <br />too much light may cause patient unrest. A lighting system <br />is desired that is a good median to both extremes. <br />Specifications indicated lighting that was infinitely <br />variable. Bidder offered only high and low settings. The <br />primary lighting offered by bidder does not meet <br />specifications. <br />HEATER WATER SHUTOFF <br />The location of the shutoff by the bidder does not meet <br />specifications. The location in the specifications was under <br />the hood for safety reasons. <br />LOCATION HEAT/AC BLOWER: <br />The blower location was specific for two reasons. One, for <br />better efficiency. Two, for serviceability. Bidder does not <br />meet specifications as to location. <br />ANTENNA/RADIO REQUIREMENTS <br />Two (2) radio coax cables were requested because of the use <br />of two (2) mobile radios. Only one (1) radio cable is <br />listed. This does not meet specifications. <br />The second low bid of $107,715.00 from Excellance, Inc., <br />failed to meet City specifications. The following items are <br />exceptions or items not shown in their bid and therefore the bid <br />is considered non -responsive to the City specifications. <br />EXCELLANCE, INC. <br />DELIVERY TIMETABLE <br />The delivery of this ambulance is important to the <br />Department. The timetable listed in the terms of bid does <br />not give a definite delivery date. This does not meet <br />specifications. <br />�1_ <br />
