The recommended <br />action will allow for laundry facilities in each fire station and will <br />facilitate the Fire Department in daily operations. <br /> <br />The notice inviting bids was advertised on January 11-12, 2004 (Exhibit <br />1), and bids were solicited. A summary of the bid invitations and bids <br />received is as follows: <br /> <br />4 Invitations For Bid mailed <br />2 Invitations For Bid mailed to Santa Ana vendors <br />3 Bids received <br />2 Bids received from Santa Ana vendors <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />22E-1 <br />
