PURCHASING - BID OPENINGS
Acting Administrator Anderson reported that bids had been opened by Staff
at 11:00 AM this morning, with three bids being received for health
insurance. Acting Administrator Anderson recommended that action be
deferred on the insurance award since each of the three bids received was
bid on a different level of insurance, which made it hard to compare.
He added that Staff was concerned since the employees pay part of the
premium, and felt that they should meet with the employees to discuss it.
He also stated that he would like the City Attorney to review the bid
specs.
Acting Administrator Anderson reported that he had contacted Connecticut
General, who presently carries the Cities policy, and received an okay
from them to renew the coverage for one month, at a four percent increase.

Specialists had held the 1978 contract at $388 per month, so had thus

job the past year.

certificate of insurance had not been received yet but that it was in the
mail. He also stated that the Police Chief had requested to approve all
employees of the chosen firm for security measures.

at $344 per month, with it being contingent upon them submitting an
insurance certificate and the employees working for them meeting the

maintenance garage hoist and recommended the City accept the low bid of
Ram Hydrolics of $4015. He added that Staff had checked into getting a
used hoist but found that there were none available, and also that used
hoists have a very low time expectency compared to new ones. He also
explained that the total of the purchase and installation would be $5080,
with the entire cost being budgeted from Revenue Sharing.
Mayor McCarty asked if the City had the capability to install the hoist.
Acting Administrator Anderson replied that they will install the air
compressor unit and knock out the concrete and do the excavating but
