<br />, <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />o--,,<-tJ/U ,Cf-70 <br />Febf"~ary~-1.I971 <br /> <br />Accountinq Machine Comments Reoardinq Bids <br /> <br />Burroughs was the apparent low bidder. Howeve,r the following <br />items are noted: <br /> <br />I. The Burroughs bid bond lists a different machine from the <br />machine on their bid. <br /> <br />2. The Burroughs bid was not signed. <br /> <br />3. The Burroughs bid contained an error in subtsaction; however, <br />the bidder agreed orally to honor the mistake. <br /> <br />4. The Burroughs maintenance contract Is quoted as $749.00 a year <br />and the National Cash $594.00 a year. If this difference <br />continues, a $1,250 saving would be realized with National <br />Cash #395 in an eight-year period. <br /> <br />5. It is assumed that the Burroughs bid includes instructions for <br />programing; however, the bid makes no mention of this. <br /> <br />6. The NCR guarantees 30 day delivery after order; Burroughs <br />states no date. <br /> <br />7. NCR guarantees to carry the maintenance contract for at least <br />eight years; no such guarantee Is given by Burroughs. <br /> <br />8. In the Geo. M. Hansen report (Village Auditor) it states that <br />the Burroughs 3208 was discontinued, because of maintenance <br />trouble with the box printer, so was not recommended by the <br />salesman. The unit proposed also has a box printer. <br /> <br />With the above listed points in mind, and in particular that the <br />Burroughs bid is not in apparent proper le!jal form, I recommend <br />~ purChase, of the NCR Model 395 for the net price pf $8,860. <br /> <br />{~'---' ,~'i,-X~ <br />Lorraine Stromqul t <br />Clerk Administra or <br /> <br />fmh <br />
