BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION g p p R O V E D by the COUNCIL ACTION Cit~r C;ou~ncil of ~. n.., ; +'ornia Chula ti i~ ~a., „u~.-_. Hated -....1'~....~.~'.:...T.4........._~.-® Agendd Item 13 Page Number 2 January 17, 1978 Resolution - Accepting bids and awarding contract for line marking machine Idaho-Norland submitted the 2nd low bid on a gasoline unit and 3rd low bid on a diesel unit. The price difference between the engines is $1,500.00. The two units meet specifications. Discussion with the Equipment Maintenance Superintendent regarding performance, economy and durability of the two engines find the diesel superior. Diesel engine fuel consumption is lower than gasoline engine and at current City prices of $.376 per gallon for diesel and $.501 per gallon for gasoline, considerable savings are anticipated. Diesel engines require less maintenance and are constructed for long term operation. Considering the above factors, it is recommended that the contract be awarded to Idaho-Norland Corporation for the purchase of the Model INHU-D diesel operated line marking machine at $57,820.00, plus $3,469.20 sales tax, for a total of $61,289.20.
