ITEM 5a PHASE I - COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM The Central Purchasing Department will be prepared to submit the bids for approval on Phase I of the Radio Communications System. As you will recall the Commission requested this item be rebid. ITEM #5a RADIO COMMUNICATIONS BIDS Attached you will find copies of the Radio Communications System bids which were received by Central Purchasing on March 16, 1973 on our behalf. The tabulation of these bids, in relation to the original bid of January 29, 1973, is as follows: General Electro- Motorola RCA Electric Com January 29 bid $18,520.00 $16,076.35 $ March 16 bid 19,350.00 17,216.00 16,194.25 15,655.00* *Did not bid on all items. The March 16 bid includes all items from the previous January bid plus five (5) additional items. These added items, reflected with the total low bidder's value, are: 4 - 3.5 d b gain antennas $ 378.00 1 - station identifier 495.00 $ 873.00 In comparison General Electric's present low bid, less the five (5) additional items is $755.10 less than the original January low bidder for all comparible items. It is our feeling, as well as Central Purchasing, that the General Electric units are acceptable for our Communications System. The Parks and Recreation staff concurs in the recommendation from Central Purchasing to award the total bid for all items to the low bidder, General Electric, for $16,194.25. ITEM 6a Entrance Road Survey - Groveland As part of the construction engineering for this project a survey crew will be required to provide field layout and to maintain quality control needed to keep track of the units of material being placed on this project (unit price project). Permission is requested to use the services of Kieft Engineering Inc. at an estimated cost of $1,800. This firm has been recommended by D.F.O. because of the firms familiarity with this project as well as the good service they provide. ITEM 6c Sewage System - Addison -Oaks The purpose of this item is to make you aware of a serious problem that exists at the Addison -Oaks Conference Center. The present sewage system is not adequate to handle the load due to the increased activity at the center. We asked D.F.O. to investigate this problem last fall for a possible solution. We have the Park Consultant reviewing D.F.O.'s observation so they may see how their recommendation will fit in with their overall park plan.
