Re Bid# 6109 Furniture -SE Branch Library
Dear Ms Leader
Based on the notification received from your District Sales Manager Belinda Prentice that
Highsmith has been acquired by Lab Safety Corporation and will not honor any existing bids which
require installation the City of Fort Collins must reject the bid response submitted by Highsmith for
Bid Group 7 The Bid document required that freight and installation costs be included in the total
cost per Bid Group
The City is displeased with Lab Safety s action and will take into consideration when evaluating any
future bids received However the City will not pursue payment per the obligations of the Bid Bond
Sincerely
damB O'Neill I� FGpr of Purchasing and Risk Management
