VENDOR: Fritts Ford

Riverside, CA 92504
DATE: November 10, 2005
Discussion:
The substantial difference in bid amounts is a result of two factors:
1. One manufacturer is working through a Ford dealer, Fritts Ford, who can obtain
the necessary cab and chasis using the City's Ford Fleet discount.
2. Roadline Products, Inc. generally has higher -priced equipment.
