Page 3 Special Session 869, Minutes June 26, 1967 a bid on a General Electric product at a total cost of $3075. ~e City P~nager reviewed the matter and recommended that under the circum-' stances the contract be awarded to the Motorola Communications. Mayor Kaufman asked whether the bid specifications were tailored for ~otorola and the City Manager explained that they are to some extent - he would sup- pose it is possible for some company to manufacture interchangeable equip- ment, but apparently none have done this. Councilman Lieberman said he has checked into this matter (since he is in a position to do this at McDonnell Aircraft, with some communications experts who have handled the Space Program fairly successfully) and it appears to him that tile Motorola product is in a class by itself. He said he whole- heartedly recommends that the Council take the recommendation of the admin- istrative forces, and Councilman Lieberman moved approval of award of the contract to the Motorola Communications as set forth above. Motion seconded by Councilman Woods and unanimously carried.
