Subject: Compactor Vendor selection
John,
Based on outstanding references and the low bid of $48,457, 1 am recommending Waste
Equip/Manufacturing as vendor for the container/compactor purchase.

No, we have the original paper work here. We always award on the unit costs .... not the total just for
cases where there is an addition error. So are you recommending award to WasteEquip having checked
their references, etc?
>>> Henry Jeanes 1/22/02 9:19:02 AM >>>
I probably should send back all the paperwork so you can look at it. What happened was that
WasteEquip listed the compactors for $36,406 and the 3 roll -offs for $12,051. This comes to $48,457
compared to $48,490 for Faris Machinery. The problem came about in WasteEquip representative falsely
adding up the numbers arriving at $48,907. This error aside, they represent the low responsible bid by
$33. But they signed off on this falsely added number.
Let me know if you want me to bring over the paperwork.

Henry, please forward the errors and results/where with who, etc to me by e-mail. Then tell me the
responsive, responsible low bidder and I will verify. Thanks ... John
