processes of four (4) companies within the State of Florida and reviewed specifications,
and interviewed personnel from throughout the State to obtain specifications for a vehicle
that would meet the Department's needs for the future. The manufacturer who was
ultimately selected Aero Products Corporation of Sanford, Florida was the apparatus
selection committee's unanimous selection.
