BACKGROUND IK-ORMATION: On March 6, 1991, the City Council approved

Siemens* $124,177.94 $264,17-7.94
Jackson, MS
*Does not meet specifications
This unit was bid earlier; one bid was received and it was rejected at the February
6, 1991, City Council meeting based on the sole bid being 54.1% in excess of
budgeted funds. It was subsequently learned that with minor technical changes to
the specifications, additional suppliers would be bidding in a rebid situation and
that the bid price could be expected to be approximately $140,000, the engineers
estimate for this purchase.
Rebidding this unit did not improve the City's position, in fact the low bid is now
55.9% above budgeted funds for this purchase. Based on the results of the rebid
other more economically advantageous options are available thus t;ie reconnendation
to reject all bids
