10/16/84 Page -21- Also that the bid be awarded to Pete Honnen Equipment for the backhoe in the amount of $33,671.00. B1bS AWARDED Councilman Cussen moved, Councilman Luce seconded that bids be awarded to .Western States Industries Ltd in the amount of $15,194.60 for the sewer jet; and Pete Honnen Equipment Co. in the amount of $33,671.00 for the backhoe. Councilwoman Morris Requested that our City Administrator direct our staff when putting out bids to specify only those that will meet our needs that we can truly look at what the bids mean, and the specs are clear enough so that Council does not have to go into the process of evalu- ating that, other than the lowest bidder. Acting City Administrator Rupp stated that he agreed and could only say that $90,000 was placed in the budget for these two pieces of equipment and with both of these, it is considerably less than that. But he would pass the request on to the Public Works Dept. vote on the Motion All in favor. .Motion carried unanimously. CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS Acting City Administrator Rupp remarked he felt that Christmas decorations needed to be discussed - where do we want these; and to what extent? For example do we want the decorations to go from Hiway 42 west all the way along South Boulder Road, all the way to McCaslin, or just along sections? These de- cisions need to be made because Public Ser- vice is asking us when they install the lights should they put in the little adapter or not. If it is done when they initially install the lights it is $25; if it is done later it is $75. Mr. Rupp also stated the reason it had come to staff's attention was because of the area just west of Hiway 42 to the RR tracks. There are 8 poles and it will involve $75 per pole. NEW WATER TRANSMISSION LINE Acting City Administrator Rupp had provided councilmembers with a map depicting where a new water transmission line will be installed and the areas that would be effected by low water pressure. The proposal was to make the connection between the hours of 11:00 P.M.
