Pilkington, Health Director, presented the recommendation <br />from the Board of Health for the award of the bid for the trash compactor <br />to Mitchell Distributing Company for the Ingersoll-Rand A1-Jon 750 machine <br />in the amount of $209,865.59. He noted that the Tana 40-C machine for <br />which North Carolina Equipment Company had submitted a bid will not be <br />produced until December 5, 1984. Mr. Pilkington stated that in comparing <br />the operation of an A1-Jon 750 with a Tana 30, a smaller machine than the <br />Tana 40-C, he had found that the A1-Jon 750 had higher speed, a better <br />maintenance record, better visability, and greater ease in movability. <br /> Mr. Wayne Nail of North Carolina Equipment Company and Mr. John Means <br />of Mitchell Distributing Company and Ingersoll-Rand, reviewed the features <br />of the machines bidded by their respective companies. <br /> Motion was made by Commissioner Barnhardt and seconded by Commissioner <br />Milloway to reject both bids and readvertise for a smaller machine in the <br />50,000-pound class. There was no vote taken on this motion. <br /> UPON SUBSTITUTE MOTION of Commissioner Nash, seconded by Commissioner <br />Payne with Commissioners Nash and Payne and Chairman Lentz voting for and <br />Commissioner Barnhardt and Milloway voting against, the Board accepted the <br />recommendation of the Board of Health that the bid for the sanitary land- <br />fill compactor be awarded to Mitchell Distributing Company for an Ingersoll- <br />Rand A1-Jon 750 in the total amount of $209,865.59 because of the following <br />reasons. <br /> <br />(1) The first Tana 40-C bidded by North Carolina Equipment Company <br /> has not been.manufactured as of yet. <br />(2) In looking at smaller pieces of Tana equipmeng the following <br /> problems were found: <br /> (a)Slower speed making it difficult for Tanas to keep <br /> up with the work load. <br /> (b) Large amount of maintenance down time for Tanas because <br /> of the chain drive system. <br /> (c)The Tanas get stuck easily in wet ground. <br /> (d) Two of the Tana machines had experienced engine failures <br /> within the first year. (Both of these were diesel engines, <br /> water cooled.) <br />(3) Ail sites visited with A1-Jon 750s reported only minor repair <br /> problems. <br /> <br /> <br />
