Mr. Huber stated that he is interested in supplying the best piece of equipment for the best price. We attempted to bid two specifications as well as we could. Item for item we did supply exactly what the City asked for. I think there were only two items in ques- tion. One had to do with the camera. You asked for a low light level type. We did bid what we call a low level type. I 1 also bid a standard camera. Mr. Griffin, City Engineer, stated that this was clarified after the bid was opened. We made the recommendation based on the bids. It was not set forth in the specs. Mr. Huber stated that the second question was about the joint testing capability. Your specs did not call for that item, and  0,h~ - -241 it is generally an optional item. As a result, I quoted that as an optional add- on for $ 1, 500. If you take my base bid price and add the $ 1, 500, I am still low bidder. We did invite from your people any questions, any additional information I or any explanations that would clarify our bid. I think when you have a situation like this that it is critical that your people ask questions. Mr. Huber then presented a letter to Mayor Pro Tern clari- fying his bid. Mr. Hunt stated that from what Mr. Huber has said and from what the other repre- sentative said yesterday, this piece of equipment meets the specs that we asked for on the bid. These two items were picked up here, and since there is a dis- pute, he asked Mr. Griffin if he felt the equipment met the specifications of the bid. Mr. Griffin replied that it does not meet the specs as they were presented at the opening of the bids. Mr. Hunt asked, with the additional infor- mation, does it meet the specifications? City Manager explained that City Engineer is saying that the written bid did not conform to the specs.
