"Gentlemen:
C-1 r_-4
"On October 11,
furnish-
ing and delivering cast liron bpipe wunder eSpecifications No.
W.B. -48 -8. This material will be required for the construc-
tion of the primary distribution mains to be located in the
streets surrounding Section 18. Four bids were received in
response to this call as shown in detail on the accompanying
tabulation. The low bid was submitted by the Pacific States
Cast Iron Pipe Company, 437 South Hill Street, Los Angeles,
California in the amount of $43,544.00 with completion of
delivery in 80 to 100 days. This bid was regular in all
respects. You will note from the tabulation of bids that
the Pacific States Cast Iron Pipe Company were the only bid-
ders submitting firm prices. The bids of the United States
Pipe and Foundry Company and the American Cast Iron Pipe
r, Company were subject to escalator provisions based on the
cost of pig iron at the time of delivery as well as provid-
ing for a change in price, conditioned upon the cost of
transportation. The bid of the National Cast Iron Pipe
Division of the James B. Clow & Sons contained an escalator
clause providing for a change in unit price based on the
cost of transportation at the time of delivery. The price
submitted by the Pacific States Cast Iron Pipe Company was
less than the estimated cost submitted by this office at
the time we recommended the adoption of these specifications.
We, therefore, recommend the award of the contract to the
Pacific States Cast Iron Pipe Company.
"The quantities of material as set forth in the bid-
ding schedule were based on the preliminary plans for these
mains as contained in our report of October, 1948. Since
submitting these specifications to your Honorable Body we
have made a complete review of the design of the primary
distribution mains in Section 18 and as a result of such
studies we recommend the following change in the preliminary
plan contained in our report of October, 1948. Our original
plans for the mains to be installed in Rosecrans Avenue
called for approximately 2,000 feet of 10" cast iron pipe
extending westerly from the transmission main and approximate-
ly 2,000 feet of 8" pipe extending from the terminus of
this 10" main to Sepulveda Boulevard. As a result of our
studies we recommend that the entire line in Rosecrans
Avenue from the transmission main to Sepulveda Boulevard be
constructed with 10,, cast iron pipe. Under the Specifica-
tions No. W.B. -48 -8 we have a provision whereby the City may
increase the tonnage of pipe up to a maximum of 20% within
30 days after the date of contract. The change as outlined
above will come well within this provision. We have also
discussed this change in quantities with the Pacific States
Cast Iron Pipe Company and they state they have no objection
- 2 -
CA r'k_
to changing the original bid schedule to meet this revised
plan at the unit prices bid. In preparing the contract,
we, therefore, recommend the following changes in the bid-
ding schedule accompanying the specifications:
"Item No. 1 - 8" diameter Class 150 Cast Iron Pipe
now reads 14,000 lin. ft, at $2.035
per lin. ft. This should be changed
to tl2plOO lin, ft. at 12.035 per
lin. ft.
"Item No. 2 - Now reads 10" diameter Class 150
Cast Iron Pipe, 3,700 Lin. ft, at
X2.75 per lin. ft. This should be
changed to read 5,600 lin. ft. at
'2.75 per lin. ft.
''Item No. 3 - For 12" diameter Class 150 Cast Iron
Pipe to remain as listed in the orig-
inal bidding schedule, namely 12"
diameter Class 150 Cast Iron Pipe
1,400 lin. ft, at $3.485 per lin. ft.
"All of the bids submitted under this specifications
were exclusive of sales tag. The bid of the Pacific States
Cast Iron Pipe Company as submitted plus sales tax makes a
total delivered cost of $44,850.32. With the revisions out-
lined above the total cost of the pipe from the Pacific
States Cast Iron Pipe Company including sales tax will amount
to $46,249.58, an increase of $1,399.26.
