15. Twelve months supply agreement for Mueller tapping and drilling machine
drill bits and flaring tools for the Water Division be approved based on
only bid received from Trans Tex Supply Co., San Antonio, Texas, for an
estimated expenditure of $6,443.63. Prices have increased 7% since last
contract October 7, 1982. Five bid invitations were issued, and one bid
was received. Two bids were sent to manufacturers dealers, one to the
factory representative and two to vendors requesting bid invitations. A
survey of the bidders indicates the factory will not bid. direct to protect
their dealers. The local dealer for this material did not respond because
the dollar amount of the bid is not large enough to respond too favorably.
The reamining vendors issued bid invitations are non - dealers and cannot
supply the tools.
