Vendor's
TOTAL 5,520.95 ,320•71 5003.40
"All excise tax deducted throughout.
Gasoline prices include California State Tax. All other
prices are plus
State Sales Taxes on oils, greases, asphalt, etc.
All vendors bid a maximum price guarantee. All prices are
net to City for delivery in standard amounts of accepted
trade practice.
"It is my recommendation that the entire award on
Gasoline, lube oils, grease and other petroleum products,
with the exception of Item No. 16 which is asphaltic ma-
terial, be awarded to the low bidder, namely, Tidewater
Associated Oil Company.
"Two of the other bidders, namely Union Oil Company
and Shell Oil Company, bid low on several of the smaller
miscellaneous items; however, Tidewater Associated Oil Com-
pany was low on the principal item, namely gasoline, and the
prices were very much in line on all the other items with
all the other companies. If we broke the bid down and
awarded the small miscellaneous amounts to the other bidders,
aside from Tidewater Associated Oil Company, conceivably the
City would save approximately J60.00 over the year's period.
However, I strongly feel that since one company is the over-
all low bidder and has an excelent line of products which
meet all of our specifications, that it would be much more

profitable for us to deal with one Company alone except
for the asphaltic materials, where there was one lone
bidder. I recommend, and Niech. Mlaint. Supt. Mir. E. J.
Grow, concurs that Associated Tidewater Oil Company be
awarded total overall bid as the lowest and best bidder
in amount of 0,303-40.
