It is recommended to accept the Teletouch Communications Bid as specified by Cunningham & Associates. See attached*
Bob Callahan, Wayne Smith,
Callahan & Associates Purchasing Agent
*RECOMMENDATION:
Three bids have been received. The bid from Teletouch offers the best price and Teletouch had outstanding references, far better than
either of the other companies that bid. Savings from the new rates will be $2,000 per year. The basics are that the city has 82 pagers
and pays $8.50 per pager today. The Teletouch proposal is for $6.50 per pager and they will drop the cost to $5.50 if the city acquires
100 units. For 82 pagers the city cuts a monthly $697 bill to $533. The present pager arrangement is difficult and time consuming to
manage. All Teletouch references testified to the ease and accuracy of the Teletouch billing system.
