FIRE DEPARTMENT AND REJECT THE BID FOR ITEM NUMBER ONE
The entire bid document and specifications were mailed on January 7 and bids were opened on
January 29, 1998. The whole bid document rather than the bid notification was mailed to all vendors
including the vendors who provided the above responses to expedite the bid and encourage more
responses and competitive bids. No bid documents were returned by the Post Office as undeliverable.

competitively priced It is the recommendation of staff that the sole bid received from Fort Worth
Freightliner be accepted

will be revised and the cab and chassis will be re-bid at a later date.
M/WBE - A waiver of the M/WBE requirement was requested by Purchasing and approved by the
M/VVBE Office because there were negligible subcontracting opportunities available.
