In summary, with both types being built with good equipment and
appearing to be of sound construction, my decision, based on better
price, service, aluminum construction and the ability to meet our
preferred delivery time and being the low bidder, is to recommend bid
award to Collins Ambulance for vehicle and equipment as per City of
Southlake specifications.
