Pursuant to action taken by Board January 2Clth , 1916, the Board
met with the different bidders, who had submitted proposals for
furnishing Turbine & Condenser for b.B.L•& P•P. after hearing
all representatives present, the following recommendations were
received, to-rit:-
After careful analysis of the various bids received on
the Condenser, it is our best judgment that the Westinghouse
Electric 11fg• Co, has the best proposal, their price being w1G,
800. erected on the Youndati one complete. In their proposal they
bid on a duplicate unit to drive the auxiliaries & all the other
Co'n,bids were without duplication; and it takes the least amount
of cenlingrater for the Yestinghouse condenser than it does for
any of the rest which is a very important factor in our case as
our water supply is none to great. The Westinghouse proposal taken
the least amount of power to drive the auxiliaries than any of
the other prof -orals that were submitted-.
In regard to the Turbo -Generator Set it is our beet judgment
that the General Electric Cole, proposition No•2, the price being
J209250., is better than any other proposal that was submitted.
They have complied more closely to the speci fi cu ti ons than either
one of the other rroposals. They have stated their capacity of
the turbine non -condensing,& lbs.of steam per K.W•non-condensing
as you will note in the try ulati on. They also state the definite
lencth of time that their turbine con be started froma cold con-
dition. They have also included Jr the Turbo -Generator Set all
looses whatsoever which are included in their steum guarantee;
neither one of the other proposals have definitely stated in
their prorosalc whether all, losses were included in the stern
guarantee or not.
As you know, we have both vi sited each O
of
the manufacturers that subioit a bid on these proposals & Pe olive
considered in our deci si on the design& const ructi on of the
various machines. If there is an thithat the Board does not
understand clearly, we rill be ve g gi tUrther in-
