Session 1105, ~inutes June !6, 1975 Page 3 group which will not meet again until July 15th, but they have laid all of their preliminary plans and would like the Council's approval to work through these final things. City I~nager Henry said this would be a very fine project which would not only serve the purposes suggested by the People to People Chapter, but also one of the ideas was to sh~ all of the local types of trees which are used in street trees and plantings and these would eventually be identified and would be available to the public; it would be an arboretum, but in the form of a wal~;ay. The City would do the actual planting, but the Chapter would purchase the trees and they City would take over the care. Answering questions, Mrs. Carlson said it is hoped the plantings can begin in the Fall and the second planting would be in the Spring of '76. Councilman Ueissenburger moved approval. ~tion was seconded by Councilman Grimm and unanimously carried. COI.~NITY SCHOOL GROUP: Consideration of this matter was temporarily deferred. (See page BIDS - ROOFING - H~i~ PAPdC COmmUNITY CENTER: City ~nager Henry reviewed bids which had been received for repair to the roof of the Heman Park Come, unity Center. The administrative forces recommend- ed that contract be awarded to the Aldrich Roofing Company in the amount of $3,750, this being the lowest and best bid. There was some general discussion and the City l~anager answered questions. It was moved by Councilman Werner, seconded by Councilman Grimm, and unani- mously carried, that the recommendation of the administrative forces be ap- proved and that contract be awarded to the Aldrich Roofing Company in the amount of $3,750, this being the lowest and best bid. BIDS -AI~ULANCE RADIOS: City l~nager Ilenry reviewed bids which had been received for two 4 channel ambulance radios, and he explained the need for them. ~ere was some dis- cussion~ and the City Manager answered questions, along with ~. V. A. Ellman~ Director of Finance. ~Ir. Ellman, in reply to Councilman Adams, said that the specs had been dra~rn up by ~. John Hancock, Communications Specialist. The administrative forces recommended that contract be awarded to l~otorola at a cost of $2,227 for each Unit, maintenance co~t of $81.00 each, total $4,616.00. As to estimated delivery time on both bids (question by Councilman Lieber- man, ~. Ellman invited I.Ir. Bill Carter, representative of ~torola, to answer. ~{r. Carter said that delivery can be made in 49 days. Councilmmn Lieberman said he was wondering if there is a significant difference between delivery date offered by liotorola and General Electric (the two bidders), whether it might not be advisable to award the contract to General Electric, ~ose bid was only slightly higher than ~torola's, since ~ere appears to be a need for these radios in the ambulances. However, he continued, 49 days is not unreasonable and he doesn't believe that General Electric could really beat that to any degree. Councilman Lieberman moved that contract be awarded to the ~otorola Company, in the amount of $4,616.00, this being the lowest and best bid. l~tion was seconded by Councilman Adams and unani- mously carried.
