MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: March 5, 1998 <br /> TO: Mike Mornson, City Manager <br /> FROM: Dick Johnson, Fire Chief <br /> ITEM: FIRE TRUCK BIDS <br /> We have evaluated the three bids and I am making the following <br /> recommendations: <br /> The low bid ($207,272) from Central States should be rejected because they do <br /> not meet'our specs nor do they meet our needs in terms of compartment space <br /> and electrical/lighting capabilities. <br /> • The high bid ($244,283) from Custom Fire should be rejected because it is more <br /> than we can afford to spend. <br /> The other bid ($226,190) from Toyne does meet all of our needs and actually <br /> exceeds our specifications. Toyne also offers,options which are acceptable and <br /> will reduce the cost by several thousand dollars. Consequently, Toyne can <br /> provide us with an acceptable pumper which will cost us no more than $221,000. <br /> These costs, of course, include the cost of the cab/chassis from Ford, which is <br /> scheduled for delivery in June. <br />
