BIDS - STILEET ~gd{/CING PAIl]T: City }~nager Henry reviewed bids which had been received for the furnishing of street marking paint for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1975 and the administrative forces recommended that the contract be awarded to Brod-Dugan~ in the total amount of $2,725.00, this being the lowest and best bid. Councilman Grimm called attention to what appeared to be an error in the figures, however, and ~yor Kauf~mn suggested that action on this item be deferred until it can be clarified. (See page 7) BIDS - TRACTOR-LOADER: City llanager Henry reviewed a tabulation of bids for the purchase of one tractor.-loader. Since Case Power & Equipment Co. do not meet the 8?ecifica- tion, the administrative forces recommended that the contract be awarded to Ill-~ Bobcat in the amount of $7,700.00, the lowest qualifying bid. During discussion that followed, Councilman %1eissenburger raised the question of whether it might not be judicious to redraft the specifications -- whether a less expensive tractor loader would not do the job. City J~[anager Henry answered questions, and there was discussion. Councilman Lieberman moved that the recommendation of the administrative forces be approved and that contract be awarded to Ill~ Bobcat in the amount of $7,700.00. ~tion was seconded by Councilman Grimm and unanimously carried. BIDS - SALT AiiD AGGREGATE SPREADERS: City ~.~anager Henry revim~ed bids which had been received for supplying two salt and aggregate spreaders.

He said tie spoke to the ~ansas Highway officials and they have expressed an excellent record of usage and low maintenance. Fiberglas Products has submitted a bid in the amount of $6,680.00, and the administrative forces recommend that the contract be awarded to Fiberglas Products, Inc. There was discussion. Councilman Adams asked whether the two other bidders had been asked for bids on the material hopper of reinforced fiberglass and ~. Rede, Assistant City Engineer, indicated they had not. Councilman l'~issenburger asked that the ~nutes reflect that he had raised a question as to when, and when not, the Council can approve bids which are different than the specification requirements; he added that he doesn't think the Council can act on bids such as this, without resubmitting it. Councilman Glickert and Councilman Adams concurred in Councilman l~eissen- burger:s view, pointing out it would be unfair to the other bidders to
