and other features of a Recorder/Reproducer so that such equipment
is not capable of precise or exact specifications. It is,
therefore, necessary for the council to make a determination of
which of the bidders is the lowest responsible bidder on such
equipment and, in so doing, to consider in addition to the bid
price, the quality, suitability, adaptability, and delivery
of the equipment for the use it is intended.
b. Based on such general criteria, the bid of Stancil-Hoffman Corporation
is hereby found and determined to be the lowest responsible
bid on the Recorder/Reproducer.

bid specifications .

in the following areas:
