REPORT OF BID OPENING, furnishings for Multi -Purpose Building. The following bids were received: Whalen Bros., Inc., Los Altos Kelly Business Equipment Co., San Mateo $11,527.29 Sales Tax 461.09 $11, 9bb - 3b Bid on certain items only, totals, therefore, not complete. Recreation Director reported comparison of items on which both bidders submitted proposals indicated a saving of $974.51 if the Kelly bid were accepted, Kelly bidding consistently lower on almost every item. The acceptance of the Kelly bid, however, would result in the necessity of purchasing approximately $3,000 additional miscellaneous equipment to complete the furnishings. The City Attorney advised either bid might be accepted by the Council, but approved the following recommendation as made by Recreation Director: (a) That the low bid of Kelly Business Equipment be accepted for all items bid by them in the amount of $6,764.28 (b) That the lounge furnishings, estimated to cost less than $2,000 (bid at $1,391.45 by Whalen) be immediately pur- chased directly. (c) That the balance of the miscellaneous furnishings com- prising those of a less essential nature such as file cabinets, waste baskets, etc., be acquired through normal channels from time to time. He further advised Council this recommendation is believed to result in the best price to the City, saving approximately $1,000 without causing any appreciable delay in securing the furnishings. Recommendation of the City Manager read in which he concurred with recommen- dation made and also advising he had authorized Park Superintendent to employ temporary help to expedite landscaping for the building, funding for which had been included in the current budget. Further questions asked concerning bidding procedure and award proposed; resolution of award being read in full to clarify. Councilman Granger remarked on problem concerning stove arrangement to which Recreation Director advised problem being resolved.
