Three bids were received for duejesIvacumn sewer truck and ranged from $140,932.25 to $164,002.00

award the bid to American Pipe Supply, Inc., the low responsive bidder was reviewed and approved by
the Finance Committee on April 4, 1994.
The sewer truck was approved in the cannot budget who the understanding that its purchase would be
financed with five payments over the next four years. There is$36,000.00 appropriated for the first
payment which is now estimated not to exceed $33,600.00

Re: Jet/Vacuum Sewer Truck
Dave: I have reviewed the three bids received on March X 1994 for the
combination sewer jet/vacuum track. Bids were received from New England
Municipal Equipment Co., Inc. (Vacon),Chadwick-BaRass,(Vactes), and
American pipeline Supply, Corp. (Aquatech). It es; my xecw+aendalion that the
low bid of $140,93225 from New England Mutdapal Equipment Co., Inc. be
reject d because itis non-responsive on at least three major iteaa. The quoted
truck has a water capacity of 1600 gal. instead of the 2000 gaL as specified The
vacuum unit specified was a positive displacement rotary lobe exhauster the
unit quoted was a °.stage vacuum compressor whirh is not as well suited for
removing debris under water of in submerged conditions. The unit bid also had
a front mounted hose reel as opposed to a rear mounted reel as specified and
preferred by pemsmel in the sewer departmenL
It is my recosaiendation that the bid be awarded to American Pipeline
Supply, Corp. Their Md at $149,979.00 is the lowest responsive Md and fully
complies with the Sewer Department's specifications.
R�eesspecftfully,
Mike Ferry
