• • • <br />U <br />Mr, A. K. Steinheimer -2- January 29, 1957 <br />not been eliminated. If we then add an amount for Bid Schedule No. II <br />equal to that supplied by bidder No. i, we would have a total evaluated <br />bid for bidder No. 2 of $22, 460. 00, thus leaving bidder No. 1 with a <br />low bid of $20, 784. 00. <br />We have heretofore considered, and after the bid re-c'onsidered, the use <br />of some alternate equipment suggested by Bailey Meter Company which <br />would result in a saving to the City in one instance and an increase in <br />cost to the Gity in a second instance. We are still of the opinion that <br />the equipment specified will give much better performance and will <br />result in longer filter runs, thus requiring less frequent backwashing. <br />Our recommendation given above that Infilco, Inc, be awarded the contract <br />remains unchanged. <br />Presumably the performance bond will be placed by the Federal Insurance <br />Company, who furnished the bid bond. Since this is a small amount, <br />we feel sure the United States Treasury would list this company for <br />this amount. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />FORREST AND COTTON <br />Consulting Engineers <br />T.
