Moved by Clark, seconded by Stratton that this being the time and place for receiving bid
for material to be used in the improvement of the Municipal Water System; the following
is a tabulated list of the various bids received:
To the City.Commission of the City of Yakima, Washington
Gentlemen:
I- hereby report that I have tabulated and checked the proposals received on August
17, 1931, for furnishing water pipe, fittings, valves, and other appurtenances to be
used in the.improvement of the municipal water system of the City of Yakima, Washington,
as outlined in Ordinance No. B -1, signed and approved June 23, 1931.
r
.4 0`4
August 17, 1931
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 reject 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 items.
The following is a summary of bids 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 should 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 main-
tenance of the pipe line must be considered. After a careful re -check of the materials
required, and after considering the dates of delivery, and types of material-and appur-
tenances required, I hereby recommend that contracts be awarded to the several bidders
as follows:
