FIRE CHIEF'S OFFICE <br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM , <br />T0: J. R. Hudgens DATE: 5/8/78 <br />FROM: J. L. Sease <br />SUBJECT: 4-Wheel Drive Pickup Truck Bids <br />Bids were received and opened for tabulation on 5/1/78. Only <br />one bid, from Joe Camp Ford, was received. The bid was in the amount <br />of $5,626..24, but did not meet specifications. They deleted the auto- <br />matic transmission and substituted a 4-speed manual transmission. <br />Also, they substituted part-time 4-wheel drive for full-time 4-wheel <br />drive.. To obtain these features. on a Ford truck,. we would have to <br />change our specification from a 6-cylinder engine to a minimum of a <br />351-cubic .inch V-8 engine. <br />• I recommend that the City readvertise for bids and that strong <br />effort be made to obtain other bidders. I urge that the bid process <br />be done as quickly as possible due to the 1978 model year drawing to <br />a close. <br />Very respectfully, <br />J. L. Sease <br />Fire Chief <br />• <br />
