104 Councilman Rosselli moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO, 6218 REJECTING ALL BIDS RECEIVED FOR FURNISHING OF HYDRAULIC SEWER CLEANER, seconded by Councilman Petersen and carried on roll call vote. Councilman Keckley moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO, 6219 APPROVING SPECIFICATIONS FOR ONE AUTOMOBILE; AND AUTHORIZING CITY CLERK TO CALL FOR BIDS THEREFOR, seconded by Councilman Arnett. Prior advertising on this equipment produced no bids. Local dealers have been contacted and have indicated bids will be submitted. It was suggested by Council that, in the future, contacting the dealers on the first intention to call for bids might obviate the need to readvertise. City Manager reported that the dealers were reluctant to bid on only one unit, and further, had assumed from the designation for the Police Unit that it called for special police package; however, this equipment is standard automobile. Motion carried on roll call vote. Councilman Weymouth moved to adopt RESOLUTION N0, 6220 APPROVING CONTRACT DOCU- MENTS FOR TWO FIRE ENGINES (1500 G.P.M.PUMPERS); AND AUTHORIZING CITY CLERK TO CALL FOR BIDS THEREFOR, seconded by Councilman Keckley. Staff report noted that funds are available in the Equipment Replacement Fund for one replacement unit, and the second unit is covered in Capital Improvement Fund under Fire Protection. It was questioned by Councilman Henderson where the added unit will be stationed, and Fire Chief Lodi advised that fourteen to sixteen months are required to get delivery on the engines, which will coincide with the Department's expansion to Redwood Shores. Currently the residents in Redwood Shores will be protected by means of an agreement with the Belmont Fire Protection District. He pointed out the serious traffic difficulties for equipment to respond from the existing City Fire Stations, - particularly at peak traffic hours, and the agreement with Belmont alleviates the problem. Motion carried on roll call vote.
