Date: To: Thru: From: Subject: February 27, 2002 The Honorable Board of County Commissioners James E. Chandler, County Administrator Thomas W. Frame, General Services Director Waiver of Bid for Purchase of Replacement Dishwasher at County Jail BACKGROUND: Attached is a memorandum from Lynn Williams regarding the replacement of a dishwasher at the county jail. As noted in Mr. Williams's memo, the dishwasher is an approved replacement within the current budget. We solicited three quotes and were able to obtain two responses. In order to place this item out for a sealed bid, we would have to develop written specifications and we would need the aid of a consultant. We received two written quotes. One was from Dough Boy Equipment Company for $34,015, and the other written quote was from Complete Restaurant Equipment for $32,394. $35,000 was budgeted and approved for the replacement. It is our opinion that no additional savings would result in attempting to secure sealed bids. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board waive its normal sealed bid requirement in this case and accept the lower of the two written quotes received for the proposed dishwasher replacement thus, awarding the replacement of the dishwasher to Complete Restaurant Equipment for $32,394. ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED BY Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously waived its normal sealed bid requirement in this matter and accepted the lower of the two written quotes received for the proposed dishwasher replacement, and awarded the replacement of the dishwasher to Complete Restaurant Equipment for $32,394, as recommended in the memorandum. 7.N.
