County Commissioners have decided to award to our company
a contract for items No. 2 (ash trays) , Item No. 11
(Artwork - Tom True Co.) and Item No. 12 (Artwork -
Olympus) as acceptable items on the subject bid.
We reject the commissioners decision and will not

In accordance with the conditions and specifications of
the bid documents , the Kistler Kwill bid was clearly low
on Bid Items 2 , 8, 9, 11 , 12 and 14 and Section 12610

invoked by the commissioners . However, if this condition
is in effect it should be made part of the bid documents .
When bidders are invited to submit bids , conditions and
specifications contained in the bid documents should apply
equally to all invited bidders and awards should be made to
the lowest bidder meeting the conditions and specifications .
Sincerely,
KWILL 0FF1 E SUPP O.
