Invitations to bid were mailed to nine potential bidders. Three no bids were
received and three vendors did not respond. This bid was advertised in the Fort
Worth Star -Telegram on November 28, and December 5, 1991.
DISCUSSION:
The first low bid on item #1, offered by Jacobsen -Textron failed to meet
specifications in the following areas:
1. The specifications required the starter not to engage unless the clutch
pedal is depressed or acceptable substitute. The vendor responded that this
item was not available. This item was requested due to the need for some
type of safety neutral starting device. The absence of this feature
presents a condition in which the unit could be started in gear and move
without notice.
2. The specification required a rated capacity of 1900 pounds (approximately).
The vendor responded with 1500 pounds which is considerably under the rated
capacity desired for this piece of equipment.
3. The specification required a gauge package to monitor vehicle vital signs
as well as speedometer, tachometer, and hourmeter. The vendor responded
with no tach/no hourmeter.
The first low bid on item #2 offered by Jacobsen -Textron failed to meet
specifications in the following areas:
1. The specification required a rated capacity of 1900 pounds (approximately).
The vendor responded with 1500 pounds which is considerably under the rated
capacity desired for this piece of equipment and required by the receiving
department in their application.
2. The specifications required compartment floor covering to be heavy-duty
vinyl or rubber matting. The vendor responded that this item was not
available.
The 2 -wheel drive vehicle will be used by the Golf Fund, PE39, in the Greens
Maintenance Section, 0804310. The 3 -wheel vehicle will be used by the Public
Events Department of the General Fund, GG01/0251000.
These utility vehicles will replace units that can no longer be economically
maintained. The replaced units will be sold at public auction.
