Alderman Cookson
| was curious why we didn’t use the same vendor.
Mr. Kooken
We were specifically looking for a blue truck in this case because for whatever reason the city buildings have
always had the blue vehicle so that limited the option a little bit. There’s a lot more white trucks out there than
blue ones. This dealer had it in blue with almost exactly the equipment we were requiring.
Alderman Cookson
| thought there was one point within the contract that that identified it as a 2017 vehicle.
Mr. Kooken
Both are 2016 vehicles.
