CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING or: June 26, 1973
ITEM TITLE: Resolution - Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract for Seven
Gang Mowing Tractor.
INITIATED BY: purchasing Agent
., ~ ,.,,,.,,,,,.~r.,
Bids were received and opened at 3:00 q.M, on April 30, 1973, in the office of
the Purchasing Agent for one (1) seven gang mowing tractor.
Seven vendors were mailed proposal forms with two vendors submitting bids. The
two bids are as follows:
BIDDER UNIT PRICE
B. Hayman Co., Inc. $ 8,955.40
Santa Fe Springs, Ca.
Toro Pacific Distributing 8,693.10
Torrance, Ca.
The unit proposed by Toro Pacific is not a front mowing unit as specified in the
bid form, therefore the Parks Department requested a demonstration of the unit.
After observing the unit in operation, it is the opinion of the department that
the advantages of a front mowing unit offset the difference of $262.30 in price.
The Purchasing Agent concurs with the Parks Department.
It is therefore recommended that the contract be awarded to B. Hayman Co., Inc.
Funds required, including tax, are $9,403.17.
