Hon. Board of Public Works ,
Richmond, Indiana ,
Gentlemen : -
74 Thursday, February 24, 1921.
We have analyzed the various proposals submitted for the
purchase of a centrifugal boiler feed water pump and submit •
the following report .
We have found that the Proposition ; 1 of the Midwest En-
gine Company of Indianapolis ,. Indiana quotes the lowest price
for the pump, y 2339 .10 with sixty days delivery f.o.b. Ander- •
son, Indiana.
We recommend that the contract for _ the pump be entered in-
to with the Midwest Engine Company on their proposition No.1,
provided that they agreeto the following conditions. •
1. That they give a satisfactory bond that their pump
I/
will do all that they guarantee.
2. That in addi tion to the guarantees made in their
proposal that they insert an item of our specification, viz.
deliver 500 gallons per minute at a discharge head of 580 feet
with a suction head of 8 feet and water 212 degree F.
3. That in as much as this bidder submits guarantees
so much better than anyother bidder we believe they should sub-
stantiate their claims by a test of the complete unit under our
operating conditions on their test floor in the presence of your
representative.
There should be no addi ti onal. charge for this ser-
vice as the bidder claims to test each unit before it leaves
the plant.
Respectfully,
J. D, Lyon
