The City Clerk thereupon read to the Council the report of Lippincott and Rowe, consulting engineers, and Water Superintendent Lortz, dated June 29, 1949, making recommendations with respect to award- ing of contracts under said bids for furnishing and delivering certain horizontal centrifugal pumps, which report reads as follows: "On June 15, 1949, your Honorable Body received bids under specification No. W.B. -48 -1 for furnishing and delivering horizontal, centrifugal pumps direct connected to electric motors. After opening bids, they were referred to the undersigned for analysis and recommenda- tion of award. The following is submitted in response to those instruc- tions: Item No. 1: 'Pumps and Motors for Reservoir Pump Station.' Five bids were received for this item with prices and delivery as tabulated below: Bid Price Bidder Bid Price With Sales Tax Delivery Peerless Pump Division $2,455.90 $2,517.30 45 days Food Machinery Corp.

The low bid on this item was submitted by the Peerless Pump Division, Food Machinery Corporation, as shown in the above tabulation. However, the equipment offered under this proposal was not in accordance with the specifications in that they bid on a pump and motor operating at higher speeds than named in the specifications. We, therefore, recommend that their bid for this item be rejected. The second low bid was submitted by the Byron Jackson Company of Los :ngeles as shown on the-above tabulation. Their bid was regular in all respects with one exception. On their letter accompanying the pro- posal was a rubber stamp insert to the effect that the price on the motor to be furnished was not firm but subject to esculation. We, therefore, called this matter to the attention, of the bidder and they have written a letter to the City Council authorizing the deletion of this condition as the letter had been stamped in error. With the elimination of this condition we recommend award of Item No. 1 to the Byron Jackson Company in accordance with their proposal. In. making this recommendation we have given due consideration not only to the price quoted but the guaranteed efficiency of the equipment, the time of delivery, the quality of the equipment and their ability to promptly furnish servicing facilities and spare parts if and when required. .

Their bid, as submitted, was regular in all respects. We are informed that after the bids were opened, this bidder addressed a letter-to the City Council stating that an error had been made in computing their total bid for thi's item. I believe they stated ',I at but for this 'error, their total bid for this item..would have been $3,407.56 as compared with their actual bid of $2,780.82. I am also informed that a representative of the bidder appeared before your Honorable Body i.~. explanation thereof. They have requested that their proposal be amended in this respect. As this involves a legal question, we are making no recommendation as to this adjustment, however, we might state that if this adjustment is allowed the Peerless Pump Division would still be the low bidder. After due consideration from the standpoint of price quoted, time of delivery, guaranteed efficiencies and the quality of the equipment offered, we recommend award of the two pumps and motera under Item No. 2 to the Peerless Pump.

We, therefore, recommend their bid for this item be rejected. The second low bid was submitted by the Peerless Pump Division, Food Machinery Corporation. of Los Angeles, as shown in the above tabulation. Their bid was regular in all respects. We, therefore, recommend award of this item to the Peerless Pump Division, Food Machinery Corporation at the price and under the terms set forth in their proposal.

On the reverse side of this sheet was a proposal for the furnishing of a construction superintendent from the Company's plant at York, Pennsylvania, to supervise the installation of this equipment wherein it was stated that the Company would not guarantee the equipment offered unless it was inastalled under the supervision of their superintendent. We contacted their Los Angeles representative in regard to this matter and he has written a letter to the City Council, authorizing the City Council to delete this condition from their proposal, it being optional with the City to employ such superintendent if desired. With this letter eliminating any conditions on their guarantee of the equipment offered, we recommend awarl to the S. Morgan Smith Company In accordance with their proposal. Item No. 2: 'Furnishing and Delirrering 24" Quiet Closing Check Valve.' The only bid submitted on this item was that of the Rensselaer Valve Company of Troy, New York. Their bid was regular in all respects with a quoted price of $1,46+.10, not including sales tax and delivery in 280 days. As we had hoped to receive an earlier delivery than this, we contacted their local representative and he has written a letter stating that they will deliver within 200 days. However, the provision for penalty for liquidated damages in the event of failure to deliver will remain as specified, namely 280 days. We recommend award of this item to the Rensselaer Valve Company at their bid price." With respect to Item No. 1, the City Clerk read to the Council a telegram received from S.

Robinson, Associate, dated June 29, 19+9; AND, WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission, after careful consideration, analysis and study, has madeits recommendations to the City Council with reference to said proposed location and development of Imperial Highway, as set forth on said plat, in its.Resolution No: 63, adopted on the 27th day of June, 1949, as follows, to wit: "WHEREAS, the City Purring Commission has, for several months, been giving attention to the important problem of relating the proposed new limited - access Imperial Highway to the existing Imperial Highway and with parti- cular reference to the difficult problem of designing an adequate intersection of the combined Imperial thorough- fares with Sepulveda Boulevard, AND, WHEREAS, in connection with this primary problem of the intersection, several important factors presented themselves which need reconciliation, among which are: 1. An intersection having but four approaches so as to permit adequate control; 2. The preserving of access directly from the thorough- fare to the existing improved southwest corner at the intersection; 3. Providing for a proper and safe blending of the traffic at the merging point of the two Imperial Highways; AND'WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, through the office of its consultant, has counciled repeatedly with the City Engineer's office, which has been developing plans both for the City and State Highway Department, AND WHEREAS, as a consequence of these conferences, a series of possible treatments have been evolved to the point where the last such studies has, in the opinion of the Commission, successfully accomplished the desired purpose, AND WHEREAS, the Flaming Commission has alau had under r consideration and have had the required public hearings, the subject of a Master Plan of Streets and Thoroughfares for the City, in which the subject here presented constituted an im- portant detail, S 816 NOW TH�'FORE BE IT i-(ESOLIM that the Planning Commission formally approve _e last mentioned study and plat_ as pre - sented in map form, a cop✓ of which iz, att <ched h&retci and made a part hereof,. AND FMTHM RESOL_U , . Lns :. In support of this action, it be specifica'_ly I yin: ed out to tha Fc--cr able City Council that the following merits °ions feat-. es are incorporated and agreed to, not only by t.hc- Ccmliasic%n, b t by other parties having prime Interes #si the sama faatures being: 1. The re}air i:c:g of the full width cf thb parking strip between, the present Imperial and the new Imperial Limited Access Highway for the greatest possible distance eastward conz —jis -ent with the further acc;orrrlishms.xtp herein recited; 2. It retains direct aceees to the developed property at the southwest c3rner of Sepulveda and Imperial, which property is already substantially improved and is destined for further Intensive improvements, 3. It completer* merges the traffl c of both the thorough- fares before it reaches the controlled intersection of the single Imperial with the single Sepulveda; 4. It utilizes to the greatest advantage, both the natural and the reconstructed grades of the terrain involved; 5 It provides ready access in both directions to and from the present Imperial so as to leave undisturbed the frontages existing along the south side of the present Imperial; AND FTIRTMM RESOLVED, that for these reasons, the plan herewith submitted and approved by the Commission be recom- mended to the City Council for its approval, al.l to the end that by formal action on the part of the City Council, the required approval of the project by the City of Ei Segundo be trans- mitted at once to the highway authorities so that the com- pletion of the project may be realized at the earlibst possible date, AND FLMTEM RESOLVED, that a second matter, minor in com- parison with the main subject of this resolution, but important in itself, be brought to the attention of the City Council, namely, the indicated connection of California Street with the new limited access Imperial Boulevard with respect with detail, the Planning Commission expresses optnion that inasmuch as the northerly terminus of California Street under such proposal would go no further than the limited access Imperial that it would serve no major useful purpose that could not as well be served by utilizing the connection at Main Street, which con - tir_:aes farther northerly or at Sepulveda for traffic destined northerly at the point, while at the same time the introducing of an additional intersection with so important a '-thoroughfare as the new limited access highway introduces a complication and a hazard out of proportion to the service rendered George E.
