In reviewing the bids, Mr. Morton stated that he had been told
the bid of Pyle, Inc. could be amended to reduce the completion by 2 -3 weeks
if the company was selected as the successful bidder. The bid of Dravo
Company was disqualified because it was not completed and did not meet the
specifications of the bid advertisement. Among other things the Council discussed
were overload capacity of the plants, the cost of relocating the portable units,

the Hoffman centrifugal blowers vs the Sutorbilt blowers and the City's
satisfactory experience with the Walker Process design which is quite similar
to the Robert H. Pyle, Inc. plant. Mr. Dickson stated that the bids were based
on the plant meeting the requirements of the Texas State Health Department.
If an award is made, it should be contingent upon approval by the State
Health Department. Also, after receiving approval by the State Health
Department, the permit would have to be amended by the Texas Water Quality
Board. Mr. Motion understood than an emergency amendment could be obtained,
but a certificate must be issued by the State Health Department stating that
the unit would meet its requirements before the amended permit would be issued
by the TWQB. Following some further discussion, Councilman Kloesel moved to
award the contract to Robert H. Pyle, Inc. in the amount of $60,828.00
provided it is approved by the Texas State Health Department. The motion
died for lack of a second. Mr. Jimmerson, salesman for the Can -Tex Industries
was asked to negotiate a lesser time on the construction of the plant and he
gave a figure of 15 weeks rather than the stipulated 18 weeks. Further
questions were asked by the Council relating to the bids, and Councilman
Stasney asked for a recommendation from the Administration. Councilman Evans
moved to award the contract to Can -Tex Industries in the amount of $51,552.00,
contingent upon approval by the State Health Department. Councilman Cannon
seconded the motion. Councilman Stasney asked once again for a recommendation
from the Administration. City Manager Voelkel stated that he was not in a
position to make a recommendation because he had not made a study of the bids,
however -i from what he knew he had no objections to the bid, but he did think
that the City should negotiate to reduce the delivery titre. Jack Morton,
City Engineer, mentioned a bid which he had received from Can -Tex Industries
a year ago, and his negotiations for the Hoffman Centrifugal blowers which
he preferred as the West Main and East District Plant both have centrifugal
blowers. At that time, Mr. Jimmerson had quoted an additional $4,500.00 for
the replacement of the change -over from Sutorbilt to Centrifugal blowers.
At this meeting he quoted an additional 15% increase over the $4,500.00 should
the Cauncil choose to substitute the centrifugal blowers over.the Sutorbilt.
This would increase the bid quotation from $51,552.00 to $56,727.00. This
would bring the Can -Tex Industries bid almost in line with the Robert H. Pyle, Inc.
bid. Mr. Jimmerson pointed out that his bid was submitted as specified, as
the State Health Department requires. If the State Health Department and /or
the Water Quality Board require a flow meter his company will put it in at
no extra charge to the City. Councilman Cannon withdrew his second because
of the several proposed changes to amend the original motion. Councilman Evans
then moved to amend his original motion to award the contract to Can -Tex
Industries in an amount not to exceed $56,727.00 replacing the 2 Sutorbilt
blowers with 2 Hoffman Centrifugal blowers. Councilman Stasney seconded the
motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Evans, Stasney and Hullum
Mays: Councilmen Kloesel and Cannon

subject to the approval of the Texas State Health Department. Councilman
Cannon seconded the motion. Following some further discussion the vote
was taken.

Mayor Walker
Ways: Councilman Evans, Hullum and Stasney
Councilman Evans then moved to adopt an ordinance awarding the contract
to Can-Tex Industries at a price not to exceed $56,727.00 depending upon the
acceptance of the State Health Department with a fifteen (15) weeks delivery
date for completion of plant. Councilman Stasney seconded the motion. The
