Bids were opened on June 11, 1990, with the following results: J. M. Lift Trucks; Stockton $8,373.62 Steve Sheely & Associates $9,154.82 Warehouse Wares, Stockton $6,412.19* Watts Equipment Cb., Stockton $7 112.85* *The load ratings of the racks bid by the two low bidders were under the specified capacity of 8,000 pounds per pair of load beams. Larger polemount transformers may weigh 1,300 pounds each, and one pair of load beams may hold up to six such transformers, weighing a total of 7,800 pounds. For that reason, we are recommending the award go to J. M. Lift Trucks, the low bidder meeting the loading specifications. When installed, these racks would provide centralized storage for over 120 polemount and padmount transformers. Currently, transformers may be stored in up to four separate locations, depending on availability of space. During the last inventory, the auditors cited this condition as a deficiency, and recommended that the transformers be stored in a more centralized location. Delivery is expected about 11 weeks after placement of order. Funding for this purchase has been allocated in the 1989/90 budget. ?i Jo E.
