REGULAR MEETING NOVEMBER 21,1994
<br />floor redone; 4) door latches broken; 5) squad bench too high 6) no insulation in conversion; just to
<br />mention a few. Construction features are not the same and clarifications furnished at time of
<br />proposal are not stated. Various conversations with Southern have raised questions and concerns
<br />with the ambulance. They state their normal construction and what they are willing to do to meet
<br />specifications. The Fire Department believes that an ambulance built should be a normal type
<br />conversion for the company and not "we can do it".
<br />The bid of $112,340.00 from Excellance, Inc., 453 Lanier Road, Madison, Alabama, was the hig
<br />bid, and the bid of $99,968.00 as an alternate does not meet specifications in many areas. The Fir
<br />Department feels that its specifications will give the City of South Bend the ambulance that will _
<br />service the citizens with the comfort and service they expect.
<br />Therefore, Mrs. Manier made a motion that the recommendation be accepted and the bid be awarded
<br />as outlined above. Mr. Caldwell seconded the motion which carried.
