Upon checking up on thesefigureswefindthat the combinedfigureof the Otis Elevator Company minus the deduction of 3 % is lower than any other combination which we can work out. I would, therefore, recommend that the contract for all of these elevators be awarded to the Otis Elevator Company without the addition for the automatic leveling device for the Hospital elevator. Taking into consideration the 3 % deduction on eachfigure,the contracts would be awarded on the basis of the following figures: For the passenger elevator for the New Library $5,480.50 For the passenger elevator for the New Commerce Building.. 7,088.76 The Sidewalk Elevator for the N e w Commerce Building 1,338.60 The freight elevator for the Dairy Manufactures Building. . . 3,375.60 . The passenger elevator for the McKinley University Hospital. 4,985.80 The D u m b Waiter for the McKinley University Hospital 2,256.22 The passenger elevator for the West Residence Hall 4,840.30 All of thesefigurescome inside of the estimated amounts which we have allowed for this equipment in our building estimates.
