Attn: Mr, Clarence Kadrmas, Manager
Re: Project No. 91522, Hutchinson
Dear Mr. Kedrmas:
am enclosing the bid tabulation for the water treatment systems for the above project. On
the basis of capital costs only, Floeept Inc. is the low bidder on the HRSG (10 GPM) system
and Coster Engineering is the low bidder on the TC (40 GPM) system. However, when
operating costs are evaluated, Coster Engineering is the low bidder on both systems. The
Specifications require award of both systems to a single bidder.
I recommend award of both systems to Caster Engineering.
Very truly yours,
