After a thorough review of the submitted bids it was noted that
only Grumman and pierce met the pump specifications as well as met or
exceeded all other details of the specifications.
The lessor of the amounts received which met specifications were
o
~ two from Pierce Manufacturing,Inc. They were $42,558.50 for a Ford
350 with a diesel engine and automatic transmission and $41,529.50
for a Chevrolet C-30, also with diesel engine and automatic trans-
mission. Because of technical differences in the vehicles and per-
formance characteristics relating to their use as fire apparatus it
has been determined that the bid from pierce in the amount of $42,558.50
for the Ford 350 is the most appropriate to meet the needs of the
Fire Department.
Therefore it is respectfully requested that the Fire Department
be permitted to purchase that vehicle through Aero Products Corporation
in Longwood. Delivery time is quoted as six months.
