Let Bids - Fire Station #4 - Mayor Reiman stated that two bids
had been received but that both exceeded the money allotted for
the construction. Following discussion, Mr. Swift made a motion
to table the bids and refer the matter to the Council to see if

still in favor of the project. Motion seconded by Mayor Reiman

Award Bids for Sludge Truck and Pick-Up for Utility Dept. - Mr.
Dougherty stated they had received three bids for a sludge truck
and he felt he could recommend two; Big Wheels in the amount of
$68,418 and $61,185 by Hayden Company Mr. Dougherty stated he was
recommending one bid that was higher than another due to the fact
that Big Wheels had more convenient source of repair parts and
service. Following discussion, Mr. Swift made a motion to accept
the bid of Hayden Company in the amount of $61, 185.00. Motion
seconded by Mayor Reiman and passed unanimously.
Mr. Dougherty stated that W. Hare & Son had the low bid on both a
standard size pick-up and a compact. He stated that there was not
a need for the regular size and that perhaps the compact should
be considered both for economy of the original price and cost of
running. Mr. Swift made a motion to accept the bid of W. Hare &
Son for the Luv Pick-Up truck in the amount of $5498.60. Motion
seconded by Mayor Reiman and passed unanimously.
