specifications in its bid proposal; and
Danko was provided a second opportunity to comment upon its exceptions in a
November 15, 1999 letter and failed to do so; and
the Fire Department Tanker Truck Committee has expressed in writing its concerns
about the safety and operability of the drop tank configuration on the Danko proposed
unit; and
the City Council has determined that the bid submitted by Custom Fire Apparatus of
Osceola, Wisconsin meets all specifications, without exception, and is therefore the
lowest responsible bidder.
