I The following bids were received: Bidders Manufacturer H. L. Parkman American Rubber Hose American Rubber Co. American Rubber Hose Western Fire Quaker Pioneer Hose Total cost for 2000 feet — $2636.00. 13 Location Price Terms Oakland $1.28 ft. 2% 10th prox. Oakland 1.28 ft.2f 30 days Philadelpl-fa 1.28 ft. 2% 30 days I wish to recommend the profuct of H. L. Parkman of American Rubber Company over the Western Fine, Quaker Pioner, be accepted for the following reasons: 1. American Ruber Hose is flat -cured as opposed to circular mold. The flate cure packs and loads into the fire apparatus much better which means that more hose can be carried. 2. American Rubber tube is much smoother and does not have the pack -marks and depressions that exist in the Quaker Pioneer tube. The rough tube causes a higher friction loss during pumping operation. 3. The mildew -proofing is more uniform in the American Rubber and all of the cotton is penetrated. The quaker Pioneer hose appears to'be only surface mildew proofing and lacks penetration,where the actual mildew may occur which is the inner jacket. The budget appropriation for this how was $2400.00. The total bid was for $b2636.00, therefore an appropriation of $236.00 should be transferred into the capital of the Fire Department to make up the difference. Respectfully, J. L. Lodi, Chief Councilman Granger moved that this matter be referred back to the City Manager and he be authorized to purchase the hose from either H. L. Parkman or American Rubber Company and to determine it in any manner he feels fair, seconded by Councilman Stout and carried.
