Dear Commissioner Rosen:
Your letter of January 13th, addressed to Mr. Glenn Williams,
has been referred to me for response. Mr. Williams will be out
of the city until the end of the month.
In checking the specifications for formal bid #1072 and our
build -up cost sheets for same, I find that Mr. Williams had
noted the three acceptable compactor bodies (Elgin- Leach,
Garwood and Heil) in preparing our bid for opening.
The general procedure,. here at Midway, in bidding Ford cab 6
chassis trucks, together with other specified body equipment
is to contact all, or as many as possible, Twin City body
equipment houses for bid prices on the material specified. I'm
sure that this procedure was not overlooked in bidding #1072.
More often, than not, the equipment companies will contact us
prior to opening with their bid figures.
To the benefit of our customers, such as the City Of St. Paul,
we most always quote the lowest acceptable body equipment prices
in our bid. In the event of two or more equal or almost equal
body equipment prices submitted to us, we will generally quote
the equal equipment, thus leaving the choice of body up to the
customer.
In the instance of bid #1072, the Garl'Wood compactor body price
apparently was the lowest submitted on the bid build -up and was
thus quoted as a part of the Midway Company's proposal and as
per specifications for same;.'.
We trust that this information will answer your inquiry.
Yours very truly,
/-I" WAY F OMPA
