that it would be found that there were discrepancies in the bid request, and as a
result the truck bid received was badly oversized for the Department's needs. Mr.
Sanders requested that the City Council reject the bid received and advertise
again for bids, however, he advised that the specification would be checked to
make sure the bid would be compatible to the manufacturer as well as the Federal
Government.

on Bid No. 75-12 be rejected and the entire item be rebid. Motion passed 5 to 0.
