Explanation

BACKGROUND: For the option to purchase EMS Transport Vehicles for Public Safety/Division of Fire. The term of the proposed option contract would be three (3) years. Contract is through December 31, 2010. The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on September 27, 2007.

The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with Section 329.06 (Solicitation SA002623). Ten (10) bids were solicited. One (1) bid was received.

Horton Emergency Vehicles CC#352018529 (Expires 9-18-09)

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding to establish this option contract is budgeted in the Purchasing UTC Account. Public Safety/Division of Fire will be required to obtain approval to expend from their appropriations.
