An analysis of the bids, and inspection of the
equipment proposed for the various bids, including a sur-
vey of the availability of spare parts, was conducted by
Mr. Jim Grow, Maintenance Supervisor, and the undersigned.
This analysis indicates that certain bids should be re-
jected in view of noncompliance with the specifications,
as set forth below:
1. Gilmore & Wilcox - Ferguson Loader; insuffici-
ent horsepower (34)
2. Southwest Tractor Sales - Ford Loader; insuf-
ficient bucket capacity (11 cu. ft.)

sufficient bucket capacity (12 cu. ft.)
Of those bids remaining of equipment that complies
with the specification, a tabulation of bids, plus certain

It is respectfully recommended that the Oliver Tractor,
as bid by the Le -Roi Rix Machine Co., for $3,589.55, in-
cluding tax, be declared the best bid, and an award be made

tor furnishes 38 horsepower, as contrasted to 35; has 216
displacement as contrasted to 165; and has six forward and
two reverse speeds, as contrasted to 5 forward and one re-
verse.
It is the opinion of Mr. Grow and the undersigned,
