The bid award <br />shall be based on, but not necessarily limited to, the factors of price, delivery date, <br />city's experience with the products proposed, city's experience with the service <br />proposed, city's evaluation of the bidders ability to service in terms of the <br />requirements as called for in the specifications, quality of merchandise offered, analysis <br />and comparison of specifications detail. <br /> <br />If you have any questions in reference to the pumper apparatus prior to the Council <br />Meeting please feel free to call me at the Elk river Fire Department at 763-441-4919.
