GUILLOU & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> 124 MAPLE GROVE LANE • SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS 62707 • (217) 519-5549 <br /> October 10 , 1991 <br /> Mr. William B. Sands <br /> Director of Public Works <br /> City of Decatur <br /> No. 1 , Civic Center Plaza <br /> Decatur , Illinois 62523 <br /> Dear Mr . Sands : <br /> We have completed our review of the bid books for City <br /> Project 8843-Pumps, Drives, and Engines for Water Supply <br /> Wells 3 through 10 , DeWitt County Well Field . <br /> Six bids and support material , representing five pump <br /> manufacturers , were opened for the Division I work which <br /> covered the supplying of pumps and angle drives ; there were <br /> five bids received covering four engine manufacturers in the <br /> Division II work; and, two bids were received for the <br /> Division III installation work. <br /> The bid specification was left open with regard to <br /> diameter of pump and column pipe because based upon the <br /> three manufatuurers catalogs used at the time of preparing <br /> the specification document, our requirements were border <br /> line between the 10-inch and 12-inch sizes . Only one <br /> Division I bidder submitted an alternate for the 12-inch <br /> size. All bidders bid on the 10-inch column size. <br /> The low bidder for the Division I work was Harshman <br /> Plumbing , Heating and Electrical Co . , of Sullivan, Illinois. <br /> As indicated on the attached analysis sheet , the Harshman <br /> total for Division I was $129, 949. That bid is $6,041 below <br /> the next bidder, Entler Excavating Co. , of Decatur. <br /> Harshman bid on Fairbanks-Morse pumps , and Entler bid on <br /> Peabodp-Floway. All the Fairbanks Morse pumps will be <br /> two-stage installations , and the Peabody pumps would have <br /> included some three-stage installations. Based upon the bid <br /> sheets there is apparently a better selection of pumps, for <br /> our particular installation , available from Fairbanks-Morse . <br /> The low bidder for the engines was Harshman Plumbing , <br /> Heating and Electrical Co . , of Sullivan . The low bid was <br /> for John Deere diesel engines with the bid total equal to <br /> $73,864. The next low bid was from Capitol Power Equipment <br />
