Eight bids were submitted. Of these eight four were not accompanied by bid security of any type. A tabulation of the bids received is as follows: "NAME OF BIDDER COMPRESSOR MODEL BID PRICE "Le Roe Rix Machinery Co. Le Roi Model 60Gi -E $1,900.00 Sales Tax 57.00 1957.00 "It will be noted from the above tabulation that the bid submitted by Le Roi Rix Machinery Co. was the lowest responsible bid received. On October 19 this machine was demonstrated in the presence of C. Smith, A. Gunn, E. J. Grow and the undersigned. Its performance was satisfactory in every respect. "This compressor is in full compliance with all of the specifications except that it is not equipped with a me- chanically operated intake valve. This feature, however, is overcome by enlarging the surface area of the intake valve to insure proper functioning and no loss of efficien- cy. This unit has certain other features which are a dis- tinct advantage over other pieces of equipment offered under the specifications. "It is therefore respectfully recommended that your Honorable Body waive the requirement for mechanically operated intake valve and award the contract for the Air Compressor to the Le Roi Rix Machinery Co. for their bid.
