11 Street Department Manager. She said that Studebaker Buick was the low bidder on the cab and chassis and it
12 is recommended that the cab and chassis be purchased separately from Studebaker Buick at a base bid of

18 Ms. Planck added that by not purchasing the spreader 8,000.00 can be deducted from the bid price and if a
