Since ASO did not possess the dctailed manufactvring data for the blade lnte;/lock it. was considered necessary for all bidders to use the Nor-Co part and in-house production wn not considered acceptable on an or equal basis bt.causa there was no way for ASO to doterwine if ahother firm's blade kLterlock was equal to Nor-Co's. Fourteen bids were received and opened on September 12, 1972. Alton Iron Works, Incorporated (titon), submitted the low bid of $22.45 per unit and tha second low bid was subtuitted by Kings Point PfU. Co., Inc., at $26.97 per unit.
