Nelson REFERENCES: County Administrator 1. A public meeting was held at 1.1:00 A.h1., December. 7, 1981 in the County Adminis- trator's Office, 2345 14th Ave.-, Vero Beach, Fl. This meeting was advertised in the Press Journal on November 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 & 15, 1981. The purpose of this meeting was to open and record the following bid: IRC #107 - (1) One Ton Crew Cab Pickup Truck - 8 Cylinder 2. 15 Bid Proposals were sent out, 3 were received (2 were No Bids). Ft. Pierce Dodge Velde Ford Southside Ford $9325.90 NO BID NO BID All vendors who were mailed bid proposals were contacted after the bid opening to determine why they did not submit bids. Ford and International do not make a 1 Ton Crew Cab Pickup, 4 stated they overlooked bid, 2 said their dealership were not large enough to warrant bidding and 2 said they do not wish to bid as there is no profit for them. In February, 1981 the County purchased by bid, 1981 6 Cyl. 3/4 Ton Crew Cab Pickup Truck for $8464.32, approximately $900.00 less than the only bid received, which is a 1982 8 Cyl., l Ton Crew Cab Pickup. 3. Therefore, it is recommended that the Board award this bid to the only bidder, Ft. Pierce Dodge. There is $9500.00 budgeted for this vehicle from Account Number #102-214-541-66-42. Discussion ensued about 6 cylinders vs. 8 cylinders for the engine; the local Chevrolet dealer not being included on the bid list; and the possibility of checking the State list for vehicles that are available for purchase. It was determined that it would be best to have this item brought back at the next meeting. On Motion by Commissioner Lyons, seconded by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously agreed to table this item. L_ 46 48 PAGE 464
