MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Ramsey City Council <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Merle Mevissen, Public Works Supervisor <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />Bid Award for Street Department Track Equipment <br /> <br />DATE: April 27, 1990 <br /> <br />I received three bids on truck equipment as follows: <br /> <br />MacQueen Equipment, Inc. <br />Midland Equipment Company <br />Crysteel Truck Equipment <br /> <br />$18,931.00 <br />$17,837.00 <br />$17,806.00 <br /> <br />Although Crysteel Truck Equipment is the apparent low bidder, I am recommending the bid of <br />Midland Equipment Company which is $31.00 more, due to extra equipment they are proposing to <br />furnish such as trip springs on the snowplow (which are necessary for City plowing) and an air <br />trip on the tailgate of the truck. These two items were not specified on the truck equipment <br />specifications but the springs are an important part of the plow for plowing dirt streets and streets <br />with manhole covers. In years past, this item was a standard part of the plow but now some <br />bidders found a way to lower their bid by not including the springs. <br /> <br />MM:pjc <br /> <br /> <br />
