To the City Commission of the City of Yakima, Washington Gentlemen: i I hereby report that I have tabulated and checked the proposals received on April 11, 1932, for furnishing water pipe to be used in the improvement of the municipal waiter system of the City of Yakima, Washington, as provided in Ordinance No. B -29. i Our specifications for these materials admit proposals upon several kinds of pipe, and the City reserves the right at the time of awarding contract 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. i The following is a summary of the bids received together with my recommendation as to the awards of contract. 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 lowest price should prevail, but all elements entering into intended u'se of pipe, and into the maintenance of the water system must be considered. After a care- ful recheck of the materials required, and after considering the dates of delivery, and the type of pipe required, I have arrived at any recommendations as indicated herein: SUMMARY OF TOTALS OF BIDS RECEIVED United States Pipe and Foundry Company- -Class 150 Federal $ 64,154.03 i Same -- Alternate Bid -Class 100 Federal 541426.11 j American Cast Iron Pipe Company -Class 150 Federal 64,707.73 !
