A PO was faxed on December 15, 2004. Stated delivery time was 120 <br />days. <br /> <br />Beginning July 19, 2005, Purchasing began contacting Monument Chevrolet, requesting <br />status and estimated delivery date. The truck was finally delivered in September, 2005, but <br />rejected by Lee Allen. The cab was to be painted blue and arrived white. On September 21, <br />2005, Charles Langridge, our sales representative with Monument Chevrolet, delivered a <br />letter stating Monument would not paint the truck because it would be cost prohibitive to <br />disassemble the body and paint the cab. Mr. Langridge was in a hurry and stated, due to the <br />hurricane, they were closing within one hour. I asked him to talk with Lee Allen before he <br />left. Lee and I agreed to accept the truck,as is, and worry about color at a later date. I <br />even suggested we could send a driver with Mr. Langridge to bring the truck back to the City <br />of La Porte. Mr. Langridge said he had to hurry, but would discuss with the General <br />Manager, upon his return to Monument. <br /> <br />Due to hurricane readiness, no calls were made that day. On Monday, September 26th, I <br />contacted Mr. Langridge concerning the status of the trash truck. He regretfully stated the <br />truck had been sold by the General Manager and was no longer at their site. <br /> <br />Upon receiving the news, Steve Gillett requested I find a truck, immediately. Since Monday, <br />Lee and I have been calling truck vendors and searching the Internet looking for a truck. To <br />date, one has not been found. <br /> <br />The Uniform Commercial Code considers this a breach of contract. Our remedies include <br />finding another trash truck that is comparable and billing any overage/difference to <br />Monument Chevrolet. . <br /> <br />I will update you on future developments. <br /> <br />Susan <br /> <br />======= CITY OF LA PORTE ======== <br /> <br />This E-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
