TO: THE CITY COUNCIL COUNCIL MEETING DATE NO.
FROM: THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE OCTOBER 3, 1990
SUBJECT: REJECT BIDS AND AUTHORIZE READYERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR THREE CUSHMAN VEHICLES
(TWO FOR PARKS DEPT. AND ONE FOR HUTCHINS STREET SQUARE).
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council reject the bids for the
purchase of three Cushman turf vehicles, two for the Parks Department
and one for the Community Center at Hutchins Street Square, and
authorize the readvertisement for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On September 5, 1990, the City Council
approved specifications and authorized advertisement for bids for three
Cushman vehicles. Bids were sent to five potential bidders, and three
responded. Bids were opened on September 19, 1990, with the following
results:
Duke Equipment & Irrigation, Rancho Cordova $28,226.72
West Star Distributing, Hayward 30,631.88
J. M. Lift, Stockton No Bid
Because the low bid is $1,846.72 over the 1990/91 budgeted amount, and
it is the opinion of the staff that bidders' pricing may not have been
correctly calculated, it is recommended that the City readvertise and
that new bids be solicited. If this recommendation is approved, new
bids would be opened on Wednesday, October 17, 1990.
