This bid was a joint venture with the City of Maplewood. <br /> The two. cities entered into this arrangement with many possible cost <br /> savings in mind. By bidding two machines, the cities reduced clerical <br /> labor, advertising expenses, •increases in model year price adjustments <br /> and the possibility of more competitive bidding with multiple purchases. <br /> The bids received include trade-in values and are as follows : <br /> Carlson Tractor No Bid <br /> Midwest Machinery No Bid <br /> Lano Equipment $63 , 000 <br /> Ziegler $82 , 893 <br /> Long Lake Tractor $91, 483 <br /> Preferred specifications were written for the backhoes. Within these <br /> specs were requirements that the vendors had to comply with. Any <br /> omissions of these, may be cause for rejection. Two items were omitted <br /> by Lano Equipment and Long Lake Tractor. These were to provide a demo <br /> unit to both cities for their use prior to bid opening, and a list of <br /> users of the equipment bid. The machines bide`-'by both vendors is <br /> currently not available, due to the fact that' they have not been <br /> released by the factories . Another requirement was that both cities were <br /> to receive bonds made out to each for performance guarantees . These two <br /> companies did not comply with this item. Therefore staff is recognizing <br /> only one responsible bidder. <br /> * Continued on back page <br /> Gc ael Ulrich, Director of Public Works <br /> RECOMMENDATION; <br /> Staff recommends the 1995 backhoe award to Ziegler for $88, 281. 05 <br /> contingent upon the adoption of the 1995 budget which includes funding <br /> for this purchase.
