It is estimated that approximately 200,000 gallons of gasoline; 20 - 55 gallon drums of bulk oil; and 30 cases of motor oils will be required for the 1971. contract. In addition, it is estiLmlated that some 50.000 gallons of Diesel Fuel will be required for this same period Of time. A complete tabulation of all bids is attached. Mr. Harvey Bloom, Director of General Services and Mr. Art Pitner, of the City Shops have evaluated the bids and have determined the low bidder of each category to be in compliance with requirements and specifications.

In all instances the bidder recommended has the low total bid. Therefore, the recommendations are that the awards be made in the following manner: Texaco, Inc.
