is $34,559.58.
received were as follows:
Peninsula Ford $33,028. O0
Hutch/ng8 Chevrolet $34,559. 58
Hutohings Chevrolet conformed with bid specifications requiring a
114 inch m/n/mum wheel base. Peninsula Ford did not conform and
submitted a bid for a Taurus-Police .Package v/th a 106 inch wheel
base. Peninsula Ford did not bid the Ford Crown Victoria Police
Package vhich would have met bid specifications.
The bid specifications were set at 114 inch m/n/muM wheel base to
exclude the 8mallet police packages as a result of the past
year's experience v/th the Taurus. The shop foreman, Dave Reitz,
advised against the smaller vehiole because of difficulties in
installing radio and other equipment. Installation of protective
screens in the Taurus result in no leg room in the rear seats and
an inability to adjust front seats back to accommodate officer8
over six feet tall.
It is the recommendation of the City Shop and the Police Depart-
ment that the award be made to Hutchings Chevrolet based on
conformance to bid specifications.
