The City specifications asked for <br /> weekly delivery to four seperate locations - the Municipal <br /> Service Center, the South Water Treatment Plant , Decatur Memorial <br /> Hospital and St . Mary' s Hospital. Culligan can provide weekly <br /> delivery to only two seperate locations . <br /> The City specifications asked for a maximum delivery of 1500 <br /> gallons at each of the City locations . Culligan - will deliver <br /> only trailerload lots or 5040 gallons of water at a time. <br /> Knowing these facts , City staff should be able to make weekly <br /> water delivery to the two hospitals as well as find adequate � <br /> storage for the additional gallons of water. <br /> The composition of water provided by the low bidder meets all <br /> Federal and State regulations and requirements . <br /> It is staff recommendation to accept the low bid of Culligan to <br /> furnish approximately 30 , 000 gallons of bottled water at no <br /> charge from the present until April 30 , 1993 . <br /> cc: Beth Couter <br />
