The low bid, Rockwell 752 Sewer Cleaner, by Flexible Municipal Sales does not meet
specifications in three critical areas. Specifications required a fire cured, baked
epoxy coated steel tank to insure longer protection against corrosion. The Rockwell
tank is asphalt coated. The pump minimum capacity specified is 65 gallons per minute
at 1600 psi. The Rockwell pump is rated at 62 GPM at 1600 psi. To clean all diameters
of sewer pipeline effectively, the correct volume and pressure is required. A 1000'
hose reel was specified and Rockwell proposed to furnish a 600' reel. There are areas
in the City that require up to 750' of hose to clean. With a 600' hose, the crews
would be required to work from two manhole openings instead of one.
Flexible Municipal Sales did not bid on the trade-in unit. This type of unit is
normally considered a trade-in item as there are only a few private contractors in
California requiring this equipment. Most municipalities maintain their own sewer
lines or contract with larger governmental agencies. Disposal of the old Sewer Cleaner
would be a problem if it is not traded-in.
The second low bid of Southwest Flexible Company meets the specifications and is
acceptable to the Director of Public Works. Considering the trade-in, this is the
low total bid.
Funds required to purchase the unit from Southwest Flexible Company are $20,676.00,
plus $1,240.56 sales tax, less $3,850.00 trade-in allowance, fora total of $18,066.56.
