<br /> The low co~blnation bid is that of Dravo Corporation and amounts to a
<br />total of $55J832.00. The second low combination would be A.G. Pinkston for Division DF-A and
<br />Teomans Brothems for Division DF-B, with a total combined bid of $59,163.00.
<br /> Although the bids received are higher than the preliminary application
<br />estimate, they are not excessive in comparison with other recent contract prices for similar
<br />equipment and for remodeling wo~ under present construction conditions.
<br /> Equioment proposed by the Dravo Corporation complies with the speci-
<br />fied requirements in every ~espect both as To present installation and future alteration of
<br />the Douglas Avenue units if and when required.
<br /> We recommend that the contract for Division DF-A and DF-B be awarded
<br />To Dravo Corporation at the lowest combined bid price of $55,832..O0.
