February 5, 1968
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Tom Coffey, City Manager
SUBJECT: Council information
FOLLOWNG IS MY ANALYSIS OF THE TWO LOW BIDS FOR THE BACKHOE AND LOADER
The specifications called for six speeds forward and two reverse, probably because
this is the transmission in our present Massey -Ferguson Loader and Backhoe. The low bid
complies; the next to low four forward and four reverse does not comply but would serve
our purpose very well. Therefore, it is a technicality that we could waive.
Travel speed of 20 miles was requested; the low bid complies, the second bid is 1C.
miles. This again is a technicality that we could waive.
We asked for a nine foot turning radius, this outfit will operate in the Cemetery
and a short turning radius is important. The low bid complies; the,secondiow is nine
feet, nine inches. This is a technicality which can be waived.
We asked for a removable, closed, steel cab; tle low bidder bid a Sims removable
cab, which has canvas doors; next to low bid a steel cab with steel doors. Technically,
the low bidder may not comply; actually, we would rather have this cab than the other
because of safety, and this is a technicality we can waive.
The tires recommended are met by both bidders.
The backhoe; we asked for a 14' reach and 12' depth; the low bidder meets and
the next to low has a 14' reach and 10' depth. This Backhoe will be used in the Water and
Sewer Department as well as in the Cemetery and the additional two feet of ddpth is impor-
tant. I do not believe this is a technicality.
The Loader;
we asked
for a 4,000
podnd brake;
the low bidder complies and tech-
nically the next to low
does not
comply since they have
a 2,900 pound brake, plus a 4,000
pound pry -out force.
This is
a matter of
dulcrum and
is important
The price of the low bid is $6,685; the second low is $6,980, a difference of
$295• Therefore, from a practical standpoint, both bids meet specifications, with the
exception of the 101 depth versus a 12' depth, which I feel is important and, of course,
there is a difference of $295 in the cost of the machine.
From a practical standpoint, there is one further advantage to buying a Massey -
Ferguson, since we now own a 36" bucket for a Massey -Ferguson Backhoe. We can delete .
this item since the 36" bucket is for use in the Cemetery only andwould be interchangeable
between the two outfits. Therefore, in spite of the fact the Michael Equipment is a
local dealer, and Mr. Michael is a public spirited citizen, I must recommend that we buy
on the low bid.

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Tom Coffey, City Manager
SUBJECT: Council Information
After writing my memo of the fifth, I` got together with Bill Michael and showed
it to him,'lhe takes exception to two items. One, that he feels certain his Backhoe will
do anything his competitors' will do. On the "specs! he saysthe difbrence in digging depth
is brought about by the difference in the way that they figured it. Of course, he guarante
his Loader; if it wasn't satisfactory, he would take it back.
Second, the price, he claims that the cab he bid was $300.00 higher than the othe
cab and if . he were allowed to substitute the other cab and deduct the $300.00, he would
be low by $5.00.
I promised Bill I would pass this information on to you, so here it is.

Subject: Commendation
To: Mayor Thomas W. Bennett
City Hall
300 LaPorte Avenue
Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Mayor Bennett:
The attached copy of a letter to Mr. Yonker, the Fort Collins Fire Chief, briefly states
my very deep appreciation to the Fire Department which responded so splendidly in a mattEr
of moments when my wife became suddenly and critically ill.
I believe it was less than two minutes after my call when they arrived at the house and
wereassisting the doctor in a most outstanding and extremely competent manner, It was
obvious to me that these men were highly trained and worked with considerable skill and
compassion.
I feel that the City should know that through the speed and effectiveness in which these
men assisted Dr. DeYoung, they are deserving of the very highest praise and commendation.
