A. Gilman, Water Superintendent: To the City Commission of the City of Yakima, Washington. Gentlemen: I- hereby report that I have tabulated and checked the proposals received on March 2, 1931, for furnishing water pipe, fittings, valves, and other appurtenances to be used in the improvement of.the municipal water and irrigation systems of the City of Yakima, Washington. Our specifications for these materials call for alternate proposals upon several kinds of pipe and various appurtenances, and the city reserved the right at the time of awarding contracts to refect any and all bids,,to reduce or increase the amount or quantity of all items listed in the proposal;: and to award separate contracts to several bidders for the different itemso The following is a summary of bid's received,.together with my recommendation as to the awards of,contracts. In making these recommendations I have kept in mind the fact that the lowest price does not always represent the best proposition. Other things be- ing equal, the low price sholud prevail, but when the cost of materials offered vary as much as they do in this bidding, all elements entering into their use and into the maintenance.of.the pipe line must be considered. After a careful re -check of the ma- terials required, and after considering, the dates of delivery, and types of material and appurtenances requuired, I hereby r`ecommeiad that contracts be awarded to the several bidders as follows: American Cast Iron Pipe Company Items checked in red'on their proposal, 4368 lin. ft. 16 finch C.
