<br />(1) The Pitman tower has a platform to ground height of 70', while Hi-Ranger is 75'. Hi-Ranger has
<br />10' more horizontal reach (48' to 38') due to its five additional feet inheight and its greater
<br />maximum lower boom angle (950to 850).
<br />
<br />e
<br />
<br />(2) The Crown bid includes the extra heavy T-224 transmission which both bidders recommend. Western
<br />States quoted the T-224 as an option at an additional cost of $265.
<br />
<br />(3) Crown Coach has included extra heavy front and rear axles, while Western States contends their
<br />basic bid includes "adequate" axles for their equipment. They, Western States, included the 34,000#
<br />rear axles as an option at an additional cost of $332. To equal the Crown bid for a 16,000# front
<br />axle, an additional $289.56 would be added.
<br />
<br />(4) Tire size was not specifically specified. Crown Coach contends 10x20 with Michelin on the front
<br />are required for their unit. Western States contends t'heir 9x20' s are "adequate", although it has
<br />been determined Western's unit will weigh about 2500# more than the Crown unit. Tires to equal
<br />Crown's bid would cost an estimated $179.
<br />
<br />(5) Both bidders generally meet the broad specs prepared by the City, or have modified their bids to
<br />indicate they would do so upon delivery.
<br />
<br />I
<br />
<br />(6) Crown's basic bid includes items deemed n~cessary or highly desirable. To select the optional
<br />equipment quoted by Western and also inst'all the heavie'r front axle and 10x20 tires, $1,065.56 would
<br />have to be added to Western's bid, giving a ~otal of $59,509.30 against the Crown bid of $57,979.12,
<br />or $1,530.18 more.
<br />
<br />Mr. Hawk moved seconded by Mr.Crakes that the equipment be purchased from Crown Coach Corporation
<br />on their bid price of $57,979.l2~ Rollcall vote. 'All councilmen present voting aye, motion
<br />carried.
