Furabhiug Alnll LockK ami Key*.
P0*TOrFICK DtriHTMHNT.
March 14, 1851.
IT being desirable to substitute locks ami keys of some other kind
for those now in use for the mail service of the United States,
specimen locks and keys, with proposals to furnish the name, will
be received and considered at the Tout < Hhee Department until the
Afft d.i> oi July HI xi. I'bo different lock* Will be submitted to a
commission for examination and report. Upon this report contracts
will, as soon as practicable, h? entered into for furnishing such locks
and keys for four years, with the right on the part of the Postmaster
General for the time being to extend and continue the contract in
force for an additional term of lour years, by giving to the contractor
a written notice lo that effect, not more than nine nor less than six
months before the termination of the first term of four years.
With a view of procuring the host lock at the lowest price, no kind
of Jock is prescribed as a standard ; the department relying for a se
lection on the mechanical skill and ingenuity which a fair competi
lion, now invited, may develop. It is, however, proper to state that
a lock HUiiabie for ihe mail service should possess the following
qualities, viz : durability, uniformity, lightntss. and strength.
For the purpose of displacing simultaneously all the mail locks
and keys now hi use, about thirty thousand new locks aud twenty
thousand keys adapted thereto will he required to be furnished by
the contractor witnin seven months after the contract shall have
been entered into ; afterwards the annual supply will depend on the
durability of the locks aud keys adopted, as well as the increase of
the mail service ; but it will probably never exceed ill amount three
thousand of the former, and one thousand of the latter.
No lock will be considered if it be like any already in general use;
nor will any one with whom the contract may be made be allowed
to make, sell, or furnish any lock or key sintiiur to those contracted
for lor any other purpose or use than that of the Post Office Depart
ment.
Tke kind of lock adopted must be patented, and the patentee will
be required, on entering into contract, to make an assignment of his
patent for the exclusive use and benefit of the department, if the
Postmaster General fha.ll deem such requirement essential to the In
terests of the service. In case of the failure of the contractor at any
lime to fulfil faithfully the terms and conditions of his contract, the
Postmaster General shall have the nght, besides a reswrt to tlie penal
remedy hereinafter mentioned, to annul said contract, and to con
tract anew with any other party or parties, as he may see fit, for fur
mulling similar locks aud keys
In deciding upon the proposals and specimens offered, the Postmas
ter General may deem it expedient to selcct for the through-mails the
lock of one bidder, and for the way-mails that of another, lie re
serves, therefore, the right of contracting with different individuals
for such different kinds of locks as he may select, and also the right
to reject ail the specimens and proposals, if lie shall deeiu that course
for the interest or the department. The parly or parlies contracting
will be required lo give bond, with ample security, in the sum oi
thirty thousand dollars, for a faithful performance of the contract.
The contract is to contain provisions for the due aud proper inspec
tion of the locks and keys, and also for guarding against their pass
ing into improper hands ; the terms of these provisions to be ar
ranged between the department and the successful bidder, if a bid
should be accepted.
No applieatmn will be considered if not accompanied with satis
factory evidence of the trustworthy character ol the bidder, and of
bis ability to fulfil the contract.
