BRUSH CHIPPER BIDS
I have reviewed the bids for the brush chipper. All three companies that had
bid on the Asplunqh machine meet the approved specifications.
The bid submitted by the \Jermeel" CoiiiJ)any does not meet the required
specifications in the following areas:
1. It does not have a V-8 engine. This would limit large
volumes of material being fed into chipper.
2. The rotor (cylinder), shaft is larger and operates at
a higher RPM which causes more noise pollution --an
increased safety hazard.
3. The flywheel does not have an emergency flywheel brake
which will also shut down the engine.
4. The Vermeer machine does not have a minimum oil
pressure and maximum water temperature safety switch.
This item will shut down the engine automatically if
oil pressure drops or water temperature rises above
specified levels. This would save costly maintenance
repairs
5. Overall» the option items offered by Vermeer are not
clearly spelled out nor do I feel they are equal to
the asked for specifications.
I -~·ec e purchase of the lowest bidder of the Asplundh machine.
