in the amount of $7,500.

E of Inlet Instruments in that after review of the equipment offered, it appeared the
City would be receiving the type and amount of equipment for the best value.
Councilman Malston stated that he too agreed with Inlet Instrumenta'bid as it
would appear that a permanently installed system would be more applicable to the
City's needs and the equipment could be moved to other quarters when the time
uFfses to have new Council Chambers. Councilman Ambarien stated that he would
! favor the lower bid as the Citydid not provide "hard "
p specs for the Individual
companies consideration and the companies were, therefore, not bidding on the
--' same items. Councilman Ambarian further commented that he felt the $4,000 bid
- - would provide the adequate equipment the Council was seeking.
