REPORT OF PURCHASE AND SUPPLY DEPARTMENT


REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF PURCHASE AND SUPPLY


To the HONORABLE CHARLES A. Ross, Mayor City of Quincy, Massachusetts


Dear Sir:


The annual report of the Department of Purchase and Supply for the year ending December 31, 1942, is herewith respectfully submitted.


Purchases for all departments in our municipal government were under the direct control of the Purchasing Agent. No change was made in the purchasing system throughout the year. The personnel changed several times and due to increased demand for clerks in local war industries and no Civil Service List available the depart- ment ended the year with two clerks instead of the customary three. Extra clerical assistance received in former years through the N. Y. A. was discontinued in 1942 due to the abolition of this branch of Federal aid to young men and women. The loss of this clerical help by our department added extra duties on the regular force.


During the early months of 1942 the Purchasing Agent realized that due to war conditions certain shortages of equipment and sup- plies as well as increased prices would prevail and therefore he advertised for bids and placed contracts at the earliest possible date in order to insure departments of a sufficient amount of oper- ating supplies during 1942. On January 13th in a letter to mem- bers of the City Council the Purchasing Agent said, "Price in- creases are evident in practically all items and with the country at war we must expect levels will rise until the OPA place price ceilings on commodities. Military necessities will take precedent over civilian projects so materials will be increasingly difficult to obtain." As the year progressed we found ourselves more and more envolved in limitation orders and priorities which made it neces- sary to adjust our municipal program to coincide with the national "all out" war effort.


During the year 9,471 requisitions were received from the vari- ous municipal departments and these were divided as follows:

The Purchasing Department wrote 11,316 purchase orders dur- ing the year. The division of these orders may be compared in the table accompanying this report. The table shows that approximate- ly 51% of the orders were placed with Quincy merchants or resi- dents; 44% were placed with concerns in the Boston area where many firms employ Quincy residents; 5% of the orders were placed outside of the Boston area.


Contracts


Fifty-one contracts were awarded during the year. Details of these awards will be found in the accompanying charts.

REPORT OF PURCHASE AND SUPPLY DEPARTMENT

CITY OF QUINCY


The gasoline contract for 1942 was awarded jointly to Quincy Oil Company and Cities Service Oil Company at the Posted Tank Wagon Price less .0025. It should be noted that, whereas in 1941 the contract carried a top price for the year of .059 per gallon, no bids were received in 1942 where a top price for the year was given. Due to war conditions and the Federal rationing program the cost of gasoline to the City of Quincy increased from .059 per gallon under the old contract which expired in February to .0875 per gallon under the new contract in that month. Increases were noted in succeeding months until late in June we paid .1215 per gallon. Finally when gasoline rationing became effective in late July the price was fixed by government regulations and for the balance of 1942 the City paid .0965 per gallon. The increase in the price of this one commodity cost the City many thousands of dol- lars.


When the Purchasing Agent advertised for bids for heavy fuel oil for four Quincy Schools and the Quincy City Hospital no bids were submitted. This condition also existed in 1941 and again this year it was deemed advisable to follow the 1941 proceedure and enter into an agreement with the present suppliers to furnish oil for the 1942-43 heating season. Existing war conditions made it necessary for the Governor of the Commonwealth to issue an Executive Order allowing the purchase of all types of fuel by government agencies without the formality of advertising and receiving bids.


Many materials usually purchased under contract for highway construction were omitted this year as their purchase fell within the scope of government limitation orders.


The City of Quincy received a 50% grant from the Federal Gov- ernment under F.W.A. for the purchase of fire fighting equipment. Following the receipt of this grant of $22,500.00 the Purchasing Agent prepared specifications and advertised for bids on two 1,000 gallon enclosed cab pumping engine trucks and one service aerial ladder. Bids were received early in April and although priority applications had been filed with the War Production Board it was not until late in July that permission was granted by the Board for the purchase of the two pumping engines. This contract was placed with the American LaFrance Foamite Corp. and delivery will be made about February 15, 1943. The priority on the aerial has been repeatedly denied by the War Production Board in spite of every effort on the part of the administration.


Bids were received in October for the purchase of a 175 foot steel radio mast for the Police Department. This will replace the present wooden mast which was erected in 1934 and may collapse at any time. Several months elapsed after the opening of bids be- fore the War Production Board finally granted the City a priority for the purchase of this mast. On December 23rd a contract was awarded to the Blaw-Knox Company and the tower will be erected during the early part of 1943.


Defense


More than $70,000.00 was spent during 1942 on the Civilian De- fense program. The Purchasing Agent took an active part as vice- chairman and coordinator for the City of Quincy, appointed by the Mayor and Executive Committee of the Defense Council. Equip-


85


REPORT OF PURCHASE AND SUPPLY DEPARTMENT


ment and supplies of every defense nature were purchased, the air raid signal system completed, auxiliary police and firemen uni- formed, general offices established and a program completed. A report in detail of the activities of the Quincy Defense Council is filed separately.


Rationing


The municipal government found itself very much involved in the national rationing program from the outset. On January 2, 1942 the City made its first purchase of office supplies and equip- ment for the then small rationing board. The office grew from one clerk in January until as of December 31st the Federal Govern- ment employed twenty-one clerks in a large Quincy office. More than $3,000 was spent during 1942 for office supplies for the Quincy Rationing Board by the City of Quincy. Salaries and rent were borne by the Federal Government.


City purchases were subject to all rationing rules and regula- tions and this entailed considerable detail for the Purchasing Agent in filing all forms for City departments and obtaining ration permits and coupons.


The Purchasing Agent wishes to call attention to two communi- cations filed with the Mayor during 1942 pertaining directly to the rationing program and the conservation of City equipment. On July 14,, 1942 I called attention to the fact that we should devise means to conserve all City owned automobile equipment and sug- gested a survey of our 128 units and a plan for the reduction in use of our cars and trucks so that we might obtain the longest possible service from every piece of equipment. This plan involved the pooling of cars, discontinuance of City owned cars for private transportation, use of street cars and trains when possible and a limited curtailment of certain services insofar as the curtailment would not affect the health and safety of our citizens. No action was taken on this communication, and again on November 25th I submitted a copy to the then acting Mayor. This matter should be considered in 1943.


On July 13, 1942 I apprised the Mayor of the possible fuel short- age during the 1942-43 heating season and in my communication suggested that departments dependent on oil for heat should make immediate surveys with the idea of conversion to coal. With the fuel shortage apparent in December the acting Mayor took steps to study the conversion program.


Council Meetings


The Purchasing Agent attended all Council meetings throughout the year and gave any assistance or advice desired by that body.


In Conclusion


As America drives ahead during 1943 to win the war the prob- lems of purchasing will increase from day to day as civilian sup- plies diminish. The prospects for the coming year point to a pro- gram of maintenance and repair of our existing equipment and services. The various problems must be met as they arise. Stra- getically located, with great war production plants within the con-

fines of our City, the importance of the Department of Purchase and Supply cannot be underestimated as through its resources the necessary supplies for the maintenance of vital municipal services must be purchased.


The Purchasing Agent acknowledges with thanks the cooperation received during the year from all department heads as well as the great group of City employees. May I further extend my thanks to merchants and contractors for the whole-hearted co- operation during 1942.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN T. LANE, Purchasing Agent.
