The specifications clearly requested a minimum height of 72 inches in <br />the cargo space so that an average size employee could use the cargo space without bending over, <br />thus reducing strain on the employee's back. Cates Chevy World°s proposal was for a cargo <br />space height of 52.9 inches which is significant and therefore, unresponsive. <br />This purchase price of $29,866.00 will be funded with proceeds from the 2018 Waste Water <br />Capital Budget 642-0630-415.43-02.
