A1 Koenig, representing Standard Oil Company of California, requested that Council consider awarding the bid to Standard Oil Company, the second lowest bidder, because of the closeness of the two bids and because their bid included the addative, F310, claiming it reduced carbon emissions and carbon monoxide, reduced engine maintenance and carburetor adjustments, and is available in all three of their fuels. The Mayor asked the advice of the City Attorney, who expressed the opinion that several bids had been received which met the specifications, and with no other factors being present, the lowest bid should be accepted; that Council was being asked to bypass the low bid on the basis that Standard Oil Company qualified as a better bidder; and that since none of the other bidders have been disqualified, it would be very questionable in his opinion that this could be done.
