1 <br /> ain thr <br /> ffla ,, . <br /> DATE : March 23, 1990 APPROVAL = <br /> TO : "payor and Councilmembers <br /> FROM : Larry Hamer, Director of Public Works <br /> I TEM : Backhoe and Front End Loader <br /> The City received bids for one ' backhoe with a front <br /> end loader from six companies. The low bid was Lano <br /> Equipment Company with a bid of $42 ,945 . 00 The bid <br /> submitted by Lano Equipment did not meet the specif- <br /> ications. The Public Works talked to other people <br /> who had purchased that machine and found that there <br /> were seveal problems with visibility and cab glass <br /> breaking. All the people we talked to were unhappy <br /> with their purchase of the JCB made in England. <br /> In the best interest of the City I am. recommending <br /> due to the JCB machine not meeting specifications and <br /> its track record that the second lowest bid from Long <br /> Lake Ford Tractor for $47,988. 00 be awarded. <br /> r <br /> i <br />
