BID EVALUATION:
RECOMMENDATION:
--i
Department of Finance
Although at least three potential bidders currently
manufacture this type of apparatus and could have
met the technical specifications, only American La
France was able to meet our expedient delivery
requirement. Carly delivery is essential due to the
fact that it is necessary to replace Aerial 116,
a 13 year old unit that is now in constant need of
repair, and parts are difficult to obtain. The
bid from American La France meets all technical
specifications as well as the delivery requirement.
IT IS RECOMMENDED TIIAT THE AWARD BE MADE TO AMERICAN LA FRANCE.
The Department of Fire concurs.
