RE: Bids for sighting Salas Park
DATE: January 18, 1982
Even though the Birdsong bid seems higher than the others,
because'of the design of their product it is in essence
the cheaper- in the long run for the following reasons:
1. Assembly -- The Birdsong unit comes all assembled and
ready to install, while with the others it is necessary
to put everything together. In order to do so you must
purchase many items, the major of which are:
a. Panels for each pole
b. Crossarms
c. Fuses
d. Wire
Of course, you must also have the labor to assemble the
above versus the preassembled Birdsong product.
2. Installation -- With the Birdsong-, when the unit is hung
on the pole, everything is concealed in a metal cr-ossarm,
making for a neat installationandwith all wires pro-
tected, which also gives a more esthetic installation.
It might aaso be pointed out that because of the Birdsong
design, since it is pre -aimed, it will save on labor. Bird-
song gives a 5 -year guarantee on aiming and light adjusting
as well, along with a 2 -year guarantee on all products.
Consequently, along with the figures submitted by the Utility
Dept., we wholeheartedly recommend that Birdsong be given the
bid as submitted.
