I recommend that TAPCO be awarded the bid for items 1-10 for the following
reasons :
1) TAYCO, on items where tney and TUCKER both bid, is one 1 lower.
2) TUCKER has a different �upplier for every item, and carries almost no
stock, meaning that obtaining spare or emergency parts will be very
difficult and tal�e a lot of time. TAPCO not only bid almost exclusively
frorn one supplier, but maintains an extensive stock of spare parts only
an hour�s drive from Oshkash.
3) TUCKER aas a very
them bein� th�t he
another that he is
sale.
poor reputation f'or good busine9s practices; one of
bids out the cheGpest products on the msr ket, and
not olways responsive to custorner proGlems after the
�.) Concerniqg item � only: over the years, HCA, IBM, FORU, PHILCO, G�idERAL
SIGNAL, FISHER-YORTER have all entered the traffic industry field and
either went bankrupt or got out before the� dia. Just two years ago,
SIT�IGER quit the field, and today MARBLE-LITE is all but bell9-up.
HON�YYWELL, TUCKER�s gupplier of digital controllers, was in the traff ic
industry field a few years ago, quit, and re-entered selling digital
controllers only in 1975. EAG�,E, TAPCO�s supplier, has been in the
business for 5�i ye�rs, and only last year built the world�9 largest
plant to manufacture products for the tra�fic industry. It doesn't
look like they are about to drop out like the rest. Can we tal�e the
cl�ance, for a few dollars, that HOiv�Ywr;LL wontt all of a sudden oecide
to drop out again and. leave us setting with expensive equipment ior
which we canit obtain spare parts? Also, to the best of my knowledge,
HOiv�,Y,�ELL has only ope digital controller in operation in our state,
certainly not sufficient to test it�s r•eliability. Also, TUCKER's
cDntroller aoes not meet specs in many ways, although not critical to
the operation ot' an intersection, out f'or ease of maiatenance.
5) Concerning item 4 only: VERTA�s bid for 3-dial controllers is slightly
lower than TAPCOts. Since we have almost exclusively EAGLE controllers
in use now, we have a good stock of spare parts. If we now switch to
CROUS.�-HINDS, we will have to spend a considerable amount of money to
stock up on spare relays, dials, flashers, contacts, etc., to maintain
the new-style controller. Also, CROUSE-IiINDS has not one facility in
Dur state w here we can obtain spare parts, and has only one technical
representative ia Watertown to perforrn tr�uble-shooting for our entire
state. CHOUSE-IiII�DS c�ntrollers cio not meet our specs in a few ways,
but not critical to the operation o£ an intersecti�n.
6) T�rCO has a reputation in the industry for doin� good 'ousiness, has
several full-time technical trouble-shooters �n call 24 hours a day,
and has installed 10 dioitally operated intersection in our state.
