Dear Ms. Kleiner
Sabre Industries provided a fairly thorough proposal for the tower. They provided information
showing that they understood what was being requested in the RFP and provided a tower
design to demonstrate what the tower would like. Enough information was provided to
determine that they are qualified to perform the tasks requested in the RFP. The only issue
with this contract was the cost of the Tower. It’s substantially higher than Valmont’s proposal.
Sabre received an overall evaluation of 86%
