by the Police Department. Noncompliance of specifications, by bid, is tabulated
on the attached chart. The bid of Century Chevrolet has the least number of
exceptions to the specifications and for this reason the Police Department re-
commends the purchase of the Chevrolet Impala as bid by Century Chevrolet.
The Fleet Sales Manager of D/FW Chrysler Plymouth Inc. , Mr, John Shackelford,
has requested that his bid be withdrawn. Mr. Shackelford states that he failed
to include the cost of several of the items that were requested,
