'""'y of Item #4.1. iver TO: MEMORANDUM Mayor and City Council FROM: DATE: Patrick D. Klaers, City Adm~rator January 20, 1998 SUBJECT: Consider Old Northbound Shelving and Cooler Bids and Update on 1/31/98 Open House In December, the city advertised in the newsletter for the private liquor industry and in The Municipal (the newsletter for municipal liquor stores) for bids to purchase the shelving and coolers at the old Northbound Liquor Store. Bids were due by January 9, 1998. The city received two bids in the amount of $3,895.00 and $4,457.00, which is fairly competitive. I was looking for a higher bid, but in a conversation with the low or unsuccessful bidder, it was indicated to staff that the city received a very good bid for our shelving and cooler. It is recommended that the City Council award the old Northbound Liquor Store cooler and shelving bid to Chris Ruzicka in the amount of $4,457.00. These bids are attached for your review. The goal is to have the shelving and coolers removed from the old Northbound store within a month. An open house for the new Northbound Liquor Store is scheduled for Saturday, January 31, 1998. The city will be offering some shot glasses and bottle openers as free "give-aways" to the customers on this Saturday. Additionally, other vendors will be offering some tokens to distribute to customers during the open house. Wine and beer tasting will be available throughout the store. A drawing for free gifts will be scheduled at 8:00 p.m. Customers (21 and older) can sign up for the drawing throughout the week of January 26, and need not be present to win. The drawings will be for $500 in Chamber dollars and $500 in Northbound gift certificates. The break-down for the Chamber dollars will be as follows: · One $200 · One $100 · Two $50 · Four $25 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
