TPC Systems (TPC) 105.,104.00
WHEREAS, TPC deviated from the specifications on numerous points, the
• most. significant being a 138" wheelbase vehicle which is some 20" shorter than
specified, and
WHEREAS, both NCM and Road took exception. to parts of the specifications,
and
WHEREAS., the deviations from the specifications by NCM and Road perhaps,
in some instances, resulted from the Lack of specification clarity, in other
instances resulted from a bona fide manufacturing difference., and in still
other instances appears to be the substitution of their component rather than
the specified component, and
WHEREAS, the deviations by NCM and Road together with their close dollar
bids does not make it possible to determine which bid is the "lowest respon-
sible bid" within the. meaning of Minnesota law.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of .the City Lakeville
as follows:
1. That. the bid of TPC is rejected for dollar reasons and because
it substantially deviates from the specifications.
2. That the bids of NCM and .Road are rejected because it cannot
be determined which is the."lowest responsible bid" within
the meaning of Minnesota law.
•
3. That the bid bonds of each bidder shall. be returned forthwith.
ADOPTED this 20th day of May, 1985.
