=n No guarantee on maximum gasoline price
IfAs regards Items No. 1 and No. 2, which under the speci-
fications are summer and winter grades respectively of non -
premium gasoline, Tide Water Associated submitted an unsigned
bid quoting a firm price of 4.206 per gallon net to the City.
Shell Oil Company submitted a bid subject to price changes and
with no guarantee of a maximum price, the current price being
$.206 per gallon net to the City. Century Oil Company sub-
mitted a premium grade gasoline at V.219 per gallonret to the
City. Inasmuch as the Tide Water Associated bid was unsigned
and the Shell Oil Company bid did not quote a firm price, it
is recommended that these two bids be rejected for these two
items and the award for Items No. 1 and No. 2 be made to Cen-
tury Oil Company under the terms of their bid.
' TFrom the tabulation given above it can be seen that
Shell Oil Company submitted the lowest bid on Items No. 3, 4
and 5; Centuuy Oil Company submitted the low bid on Items No.
6, 7, 80 10 and 13; the Texas Company submitted low bid on
- 2 -
Items No. 9 and 11 and Tide Water Associated submitted low
bid on Item No. 12 and had the only bid on Item No. 14.
No bids were received on Nos. 15 and 16. Assuming that all
bidders would be willing to supply the individual items upon
which their bid was low and that the City would use exactly
the quantities given in the tNotice to Bidders' as the ap-
proximate needs, the lowest total cost to the City for Items
3 through 13 is 4828.38. If an award was made to Shell Oil
Company for all items 3 through 13 the total cost would be
.867.98 while an award to Century Oil Company for all items
3 through 13 would result in a cost of $878.01. Inasmuch
as Century Oil Company submitted the low bid on the greatest
number of individual items from 3 through 13 and because of
the greater convenience in dealing with a single supplier
for all products, it is respectfully recommended that Cen-
tury Oil Company be awarded the contract for supplying the
City with lubricants under Items 3 through 13.
"Inasmuch as only one bid was received on Item 14 and
no bids received on Items 15 and 16, it is respectfully re-
commended that all bids for these items be rejected and that
the undersigned be authorized to procure these commodities
on the open market.
