Fr­ <br />JUL 14 1982 <br />Commissioner Fletcher wished to know if we are, <br />replacing a 1 ton truck with an economy pickup, and Mr. <br />Williams confirmed -that they are going with the smaller <br />truck for reasons of economy. - <br />Question arose on the economics involved in buying a <br />truck in Tampa from the standpoint of warranty as opposed to <br />buying something close by, and whether the availability of <br />service plus uncertain delivery date would be justification <br />for going local. <br />Discussion ensued as to how buying out of town affects <br />the warranty, and Mr. Williams noted that the truck is under <br />a factory guarantee and it can be serviced locally under the <br />warranty. <br />In further discussion, it was felt if we have another <br />bidder who is competitive, we should not discourage them. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Fletcher, the Board unani- <br />mously awarded Bid #123 to low bidder Roger <br />Whitley Chevrolet of Tampa for._a new 1982 <br />Economy Pickup Truck, if available from stock, <br />and if not available, agreed to accept the bid <br />of Roger Whitley Chevrolet for a 1983 Chevrolet <br />5-10, in the amount of $7,258.00, contingent <br />upon delivery by September 13, 1982. <br />BID #124 <br />- 1982 <br />ONE TON <br />H.D. <br />TRUCK <br />The <br />Board <br />reviewed <br />the <br />following staff recommendation: <br />37 <br />
