To the City Corimission of the City of Yakima, 1111ashington.
Gentlemen:
I hereby report that I have tabulated and checked the proposals received on March
3, 1947, for furnishing water pipe, i'ittin"s, valves, and other appurtenances to be used
in the improvement of the Municipal Dilater System of the City of Yakima, Washington.
Our specifications for these materials call for alternate proposals upon several
]rinds of pipe and various appurtenances, and the City reserved the right at the time of
awarding contracts to reject any and. all bi ds, to reduce or increase the amount or
quantity of all items listed in the proposal, and to award separate contracts to se_reral
bidders for .the different items. -
The following, is a sur.Z~7ary of my recommendation as to the awards of contracts. In malkirg
these recoimnendations i have kept in mind the fact that the lowest pri -ce does not always
represent the best proposition, Other things being 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 maintenance of the pipe line must be con-
sidered. After a careful re -check of the materials required, and after considering the
dates of delivery, types of material, expected service life and maintenance, I hereby
recommend that contracts be awarded to the several bidders as follows:
Items 1, 2, 3 and 4.
