ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
Mr. Ibarra?
Mr. Ibarra
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. So earlier you approved the purchase of two cab and chassis the international plow
trucks. These are the upfit packages, so the dump bodies, the plows, the wings, the nose gear for those said
vehicles. Last year, in September we went out to bid for this upfit to try and keep people honest and get the
price that we could for the City and Tenco up in Vermont was the lowest bidder and they agreed to hold their
price on these two bids, so we recommend we go with this company again. They just delivered two trucks to us
this summer that came out very nice. So we are pleased with the work they have given us. Any questions?
Mayor Donchess
Alderwoman Lu?
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you very much, Mr. Mayor. | had in my notes to — | wonder what the word upfit meant?
Mr. Ibarra
So all the gear, so when we buy the trucks it is literally a frame, wheels and a cab. So all the components that
complete that unit and make it operational, the dump body, the nose, the plow frame and the wing plow, that’s
what is included in these upfit packages.
