Background Information:
On January 11, 2018, the City received two (2) bids for a Trailer Mounted Underground Puller (IFB 218-074). According to the terms and conditions of the bid, the City has the right to award a contract on the basis of lowest total cost.
The Public Services Department, Electric Utility Division, has reviewed all bids and recommends awarding a contract to Sherman + Reily, Inc located in Chattanooga, Tennessee in the amount of $155,530.00.
While Wesco Distribution submitted the apparent lowest bid, they not meet the specifications of the bid or comply with the “Or Approved Equal” clause. Therefore, the bid submitted by Wesco Distribution was non-responsive and was not the lowest bid.
