Ms. Sams: Item A was recommended by the Purchasing Director to be awarded to Command and Item B was recommended by the Department to be awarded to Sidney's Department Store. Mr. Mayor: Just a minute. We have a motion on the floor. I'm trying to get a second, Ms. Sams. Is there a second to Commissioner Williams' motion? Mr. Beard: There could be, Mr. Mayor, ifhe correct that to -- Mr. Williams: I'm trying to following Purchasing, Mr. Mayor, cause I think our procedure ouoht to be the same all the time. We ou ht to do what we going to do and rig!1t, so I need some clarification from Ms. Sams, your 0 Ice, as the way your recommendation is. .... Ms. Sams: My recommendation is to award the bid Section A to Command Uniform and SectionB to Sidney's Department Store based on weighted average as spec'd in the specifications. Mr. Williams: So moved, Mr. Mayor, itI can get a second. Mr. Mayor: Is there a second? Mr. Beard: Second. Mr. Mayor: The substitute motion has been seconded. Mr. Cheek, you wanted to speak? NIr. Cheek: Yes, sir. Thank you, ,Mr. Mayor. The thing that concerns me is that we come to the floor on this issue. Our calculations, the math that we're using to work this stuff out, there should be no question. One is one, two is two and so forth. One pair of extra large pants is X dollars at one vendor and X dollars at another vendor. My concern is that we got all the way to the floor with this e of concern or debateOr w. atever over the math that we're using to do these calculations. At this point you have math one way that says one person is low bidder and math the other way that says ~other person IS low bidder. I know we're striving to come up to some urllform standards, and that's been something that Ms. Sams has been working on very hard., a uniform standard of purchasing and methodology. But at this point, with this particular bid, it's just awfully confusing when you're trying to make the right decision. And I would just hope that in the future we would not get to the Commission floor with this type of debate still in place, that these things would have been worked out long ago. Mr. Mayor: Thank you.
