Moved by Hedges, seconded by Dudley, that this being the time for final disposition of
the bids' received Monday for furnishing pipe etc., for the General .dater System, the
following are the bids as tabulated by the City Engineer:
To the City Commission of the City ,of Yakima,Washington:-
Gentlemen:
I hereby report that I have tabulated and checked the proposals received
on Monday, October 4,1926, for furnishing water pipe , fitt -ings,valves and jointing materials
to be used in the improvement and extension.of the distribution,pipe lines of the
Municipal Water. System.. -
Our ,specifications for these materials called -for alternate proposals
upon; . several : kinds .of pipe , etc. , and the - quantities..named in-the proposals are the.,
maximum:amounts of each item that might be required, and the.'City reserved the,right.at
the t -ime _of awarding -contracts. t-or'reduc.e.,,any of such ..quantities, -and to -award separate
contracts to several- parties., for furnishing the several kind-s. of- material t o be purchased.
Following is- a- tsummary. -o�,ithe bids received, together with-my recommen-
dations as to the award of contracts. -In- making these recomraendat ion's I- have kept-in
mind th-e fact that- the lowest- price does not .always :represent the best.propositione
Other things being equal the --low price should prevail, but.when the materials offered vary
as..much as-they do in this bidding, all elements entering into their use and into the
maintenance of the pipe lines must be considered.

October 6th.1926.
The lowest bid. is for deLavaud pipe at $20,.957.14
The next figure is -that for Mono -Cast Pipe at 211433.33
Showing.a difference of only 476.19
The deLavaud pipe is the pipe that we have used this season.with apparently
very good results. .-The Mono-Cast-Pipe is a sand cast pipe made by centrifugal process,
and the metal is thicker arid - apparently softer and less brittle than the deLavaud pipe,
furthermore it is made in 16 -foot lengths-and with a bead on the spigot end, -chile the
deLavaud is made only in 12 foot lengths with a- smooth spigot end.
I believe that the small additional cost will be offset by the reduced number
of joints•to make, and because of the several advantages mentioned I recommend that the
proposal of the American Cast Iron Pipe Company for Mono -Cast pipe be, accepted.
SCHEDULE-B.
Wood. Stave Pipe and Fittings as Listed.
Federal Pipe and Tank Company
Cascade Pipe -and Flume Company
A.B.Fosseen Co.
$27,809.60
26,181.4C
28,518.20
All bidders . und.er.. this. schedule figured upon the same basis and. the Cascade
Pipe and Flume Co. is.the low bidder i7pon each item.
I therefore recommend that contract be awarded. to this company'for the .12 -8
and 6-inch wood stave pipe and all fittings 'as :listed, amounting-to $20,637.40.
SCHEDULE C.
Steel Pipe and Fittings as Listed
Pacific Water Works Supply Co. German Pipe $50,585.271-
Yakima Hardware Co. Matheson Joint Pipe $60,693.93

O.D. Pipe without Couplings 46,285.52:
King Bros. Boiler Wks. Electric Welded Pipe 45,938.27
I
All of the above classes of pipe except the oversize-pipe-.offered-by the
Yakima Hardware Co: are outside diameter pipe, having a smaller carrying - capacity than
inside diameter pipe.
The object of- introducing this schedule of steel pipe was -to obtain
prices for steel pipe upon all items listed. in' "Schedule A" for case iron pipe, and in
"Schedule B" for wood. pipe, for purposes of comparison, and at no time has_ it been con-
templated that the City would - purchase this total amount of steel pipe.
With the exception of the.electric welded pipe offered by King Bros. Boile
Works, .the.prices on Steel pipe, taking into account the reduced. carrying capacity due to
the smaller inside diameter and the additional cost of making service connections, are all
so near to the prices of cast iron pipe that we would not be justified in substituting
steel for cast ixon pipe.
However in considering the proposal of King Bros. I find that its price
named on 16 inch pipe, jade from 3/16 inch steel plate, coated. and.wrapped as specified
and welded.together-in the trench is,consid.erably less than that asked by the low bidder
for wood. pipe, f.o.b.. cars-,Yakima, and: I therefore recommend: that contract. be..awarded to
King.Bros.Bolier Works for the 16 inch steel pipe coated with "Hermastic" pipe'coafing
and. wrapped. with "Pioneer" super quality pine covering, manufactured by the Pioneer Paper
Company for the sum of $4,514.40.

including= s.cme Malleable -Fittings. 2,661.06
The low bid is that of Walworth Company,. but I find.-,that malleable iron
fittings have been offered for a considerable part of the proposal,_ so -that. .it is not
exactly in line 'with the .specifications -.
The next. bid is that for French Ripe at a slightly higher. figure. This
pipe is of .foreign make and unknown in this city, and I therefore recommend that - contract
be awarded. to Yakima Hardware Yakima Hardware Company for all galvanized pipe and fittings
as listed.

Several of, these proposal s - are l iaery• close as • to price , - the bid for Chapman valves
being the 1owest.•asa of.fe.red:lby-- two- bidders.
One of the first valves needed is the 16 inch by- pass,bevelled. gear valve for
which the Chapman people° ask :s,ix vie eks to make sh,ipr ent :from factory and -.t.en weeks for
delivery.o..:. .. .
The next--,bid- is that of Rensselaer Valve Company for an`amount.:only $70.80 above
the low bid., , This company has the 16 inch valve and. a .larg.e •numb.er. of the other valves
in stock in Seattle, and can make immediate shipment. I therefore recommend that con-
tract be awarded to Rensselaer .Valve'-C- ompany for °ail of the valves and valve boxes as
listed.
