APPROVE SMALL TOOL BID-DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS: Mr.Warden stated the Department
of Public Works recommends approval of the low bids from Snap-On, Centurion, and Grainger for the
various items indicated in the staff Memorandum, dated March 27, 2002. The total bid amount is
$36,734.94. Mr. Warden noted the Department of Public Works has also requested item#48 be awarded
to Centurion because the low bidder did not meet specifications. Commissioner Jerke commented in the
past he had requested more information on bids; however, some of the information now being provided
is too excessive and appears to be creating extra work for staff. Mr.Warden stated this detail work is done
to help determine the recommendation for each bid. Responding to Commissioner Geile, Mr. Warden
stated many of these small tools are issued to individual staff members who sign off for them, so the
County knows who should be held accountable for which items. He further stated some of the staff in the
Department of Buildings and Grounds provide their own tools,with is unique to the construction trade. Mr.
Warden further stated the total bid amount is significantly lower than it used to be. Commissioner Geile
moved to approve said bid as recommended by staff. Commissioner Jerke seconded the motion, which
