El Segundo, California
"Gentlemen:
"At your regular meeting held on October 11, 1950,
your Honorable Body opened, examined and publicly declared
bids received at that meeting for furnishing the City
of E1 Segundo certain chlorination equipment. Following
the opening and declaring of the above mentioned bids
they were referred to the undersigned for study and report
thereon.
"Your Director of Public Works aided and assisted by
the Water Foreman has conducted an extensive study and
investigation of these bids, and the individual items of
equipment included therein. The investigation was con-
ducted by personally contacting operators of equipment
identical with, or similar to, the bid items. Discussions
were had with such people as Mr. Mel Lloyd, Water Super-
intendent of the City of Hawthorne, 11r. Sweeney, Chlori-
nation Superintendent of the Los Angeles Bureau of Water
& Power, Mr. Ackerman, Assistant Sanitary Engineer of the
City of Pasadena, and numerous other water works operators
and officials. Wherever possible on the spot inspections
were made of the equipment under actual operating condi-
tions. These discussions and inspections decisively pointed
up the operating weaknesses of some of the machines offered
under the above described bids.
"It is the considered opinion of the undersigned that
the award for the permanent chlorination equipment for use
at the Water Treatment Plant should be granted to Wallace
And Tiernan Sales Corporation under Item 1C of their bid
proposal, and that the award for the portable chlorination
equipment also be made to Wallace And Tiernan Sales Corpo-
ration for Item 2 of their proposal.
