Following are the bids of <br /> each company: <br /> BIDDER YEAR/MAKE/MODEL BID <br /> Northtown.Ford, Inc. 2001 Ford One Ton Club Wa on $21,085.00 <br /> Bob Ridin s, Inc. 2001 Dod e Ram Van 2500 $22,895.00 <br /> Both bids were acceptable with respect to the vehicle specifications, although both bids <br /> contained slight variances from the stated specifications. For example the Ford van's battery <br /> has slightly fewer amperes (CCA) than required, and the Dodge van has a smaller carrying <br /> capacity(payload) than required. The variances offered are acceptable, and all other <br /> requirements of the bidding process have been satisfactorily met. <br /> � <br /> , �...._ <br /> Paul McChancy <br /> Mass Transit Administrator <br /> September 11, 2000 <br />
