Council Letter 242
Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
Subject: Purchase of Sanitation Vehicles for Trash Collection
Over the past two years, the City has initiated a concerted and expensive
effort intended to improve the quality of the specialized vehicles used for
residential garbage collection by purchasing heavy-duty chassis designed
specifically for heavy commercial use. This addition of ten units to our
fleet will mean that none of our 27 side-loader units for residential col-
lection will be older than 1980. In addition, sufficient backup units, if
needed, will be maintained by retaining certain older side-loaders or rear
packers. This level of vehicles, given adequate and proper maintenance,
should allow us to guarantee proper garbage service.
In the 1984 Fleet Replacement budget for Sanitation, some $400,000 was
budgeted for residential units and only $40,000 was allotted for one unit
for trash and limb collection. It was decided at the time that our most
immediate priority lay in improvement of the residential garbage collec-
tion phase of this operation and that upgrading of trash collection vehicles
could wait until subsequent budgets.
In the recent goal-setting process by Council , one of the principal
priorities identified related to the establishment of a sanitary service
component with the capability to provide reliable garbage and trash service
for the citizens. Our recent experiences with the aftermath of a very
heavy and difficult period of collecting of trash has convinced us that this
upgrading of this crucial component of the Sanitation Division needs to be
addressed as quickly as possible and should be addressed in this budget
year. Our current trash collection function has the following equipment:
2 - 1979 Grapplers with dump bodies
1 - 1981 Grappler with dump body
1 - 1982 Grappler unitary no dump body
9 - Trash dump trucks
This amount of equipment, especially in the case of the specialized and
totally essential grappler units, is simply not adequate during heavy
periods of the year in maintaining a timely collection schedule. What is
needed is enough equipment to allow the City to greatly increase, when
needed, the number of units committed to trash pickup. While additional
dump trucks can be secured from other line departments, it is crucial that
additional grapplers with dump bodies be purchased. Purchase of this equip-
ment will also insure that the Drainage Division of Urban Transportation
can utilize this specialized equipment in cleaning out numerous large
drainage ditches within its jurisdiction.
Council Letter 242
January 6, 1984
Page 2
Bids were originally requested on two trash dump trucks and four grapplers
with dump bodies. However, on review, we feel that purchase of the grap-
plers with bodies will enable us to meet our service level requirements.
Any temporary additional equipment needs can be secured from other areas.
The bids for the four trash trucks with grappler bodies were:
Tidelands International $264,800.00
Kinsel Ford 276,111.16
Sabine Machinery 290,752.00
Beaumont Truck & Trailer 303,504.40
The monies necessary for this additional expenditure can be secured in the
following manner.
The 1984 budget contains the provision that all General Revenue Sharing monies,
some $1,500,000, will be transferred into the General Fund of the City. As
you remember, this extraordinary action was necessary in the current budget
to insure a positive fund balance of some $712,000. Adjustments to the
General Fund could be made by Council during the year, dependent upon im-
provements in our fiscal condition. While we budgeted as revenue some
$1,500,000 from Federal Revenue Sharing, our estimate just received from
the Office of General Revenue Sharing for fiscal year 1984 is $1,781,377.
Some $225,000 of the additional $281,377 which was not included in our de-
liberately conservative 1984 reserve estimates can be transferred to the
Fleet Replacement Fund in order to purchase this equipment. Additionally,
our most recent projections from sales tax show an encouraging upward trend,
which if continued over the year, will greatly improve our fiscal position
within the General Fund.
It is recommended that the bid of Tidelands International be accepted with
the understanding by Council that the budget will be amended in the near
future.

Council Letter 244
Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
Subject: Purchase of Light Bars for Police Vehicles
On December 19, 1983, bids were received from eight vendors for the purchase
of light bars for police vehicles. Eighteen light bars were originally bud-
geted at an estimated price of $1,500 each. The Patrol Division of the
Police Department tested a new aerodynamic type bar that proved to be ef-
fective and less costly than the bars in service. For this reason, it is
now recommended that 27 light bars be purchased. These light bars will be
used to equip the new cars on order and replace some the the bars that are
continually down for repairs. Bids were as follows:
Vendor Unit Price
Dallas Lite; Dallas $1,500.00
Barbee Fire & Safety; Wharton 1,014.00
Halprin Supply; Houston 1,148.42
Vallen Safety; Beaumont 1,084.10
Alamo Fire; San Antonio 1,016.47
Claude Wright; Houston 1,099.20
D & S Barricading; Beaumont 997.50
Emergency Products; Kemah 1,007.00
The apparent low bidder, D & S Barricading, failed to meet specifications. For
this reason, the bid of Emergency Products, Inc. , of Kemah, Texas, is recom-
mended for approval . The total purchase price of 27 light bars is $27,189,
which compares favorably with the $27,000 in the 1983/84 budget.

Subject: Purchase of Books for Beaumont Public Library System
The Beaumont Library periodically has the opportunity to buy books from the
Strand Book Store. These books are recently-published review copies sold at
half of the Publisher's list price. Reviewer's copies are new books sent by
Publishers to reviewers at magazines, journals and newspapers for publicity
purposes. The reviewers then send them to the Strand Book Store in New York
who in turn sells them to us. These are the same copies sold in bookstores
at full price.
The Library has purchased $1,096.53 worth of books from this source for the
Public Library System. Payment is to be made from the Educational Materials
line item of the Library's operating budget.
It is recommended that this resolution be approved.

On December 19, 1983, bids were received from nine vendors for the purchase
Of 1,000 feet of 15-inch sewer pipe. This pipe is used for routine and

Utility Supply Company Net 6.27
Big State Utility Supply 2% before 10th 6.07

SPI Municipal Supply Net 6.79
The Rohan Company 2% before 10th 7.03

and best bid.

Council Letter 246
Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
Subject: Personal Computer
On December 5, 1983, bids were received for the purchase of a personal com-
puter to be used in the Health Department in our employee assistance program.
The Health Department will utilize this computer along with some programs
developed by the National Center for Disease Control for a health risk assess-
ment of our work force. We received bids from six vendors for this computer.
The lowest bid was submitted by Domino Computer Service of Arlington Heights,
Illinois, for a Columbia Personal Computer. The next low bid was from IBM
of Beaumont for an IBM Personal Computer. The programs to be used on this
system were developed for the IBM Computer and use the IBM languages and
operating system. The bids were as follows:
Vendor Manufacturer Price
Domino Computer Services , Inc. Columbia $3,504.25
IBM IBM 3,783.00
Domino Computer Services, Inc. Zenith Data Systems 3,824.00
MicroAge Computer Stores Zenith Data Systems 3,850.00
Calistar Computers Eagle 4,077.00
General Electric IBM 4,032.00
One of the major concerns in any highly technical system such as a personal
computer is maintenance. Therefore, it is recommended that the bid of IBM
in Beaumont be accepted as the best bid received. IBM's bid is approximately
$280 more than the Columbia Computer, but this small price difference is more
than outweighed by the advantages of local service representatives here in
Beaumont. Funding for this purchase will come from grant monies received
from the State with no match and the computer will be at no cost to the City.
It is recommended that this resolution be approved.
