This bid was prepared at the request of the Transportation Department to establish fixed pricing for paint and body collision repair. It is recommended that all vendors be awarded. The rationale for this is that each recommended vendor performs different work on vehicles from different manufacturers. The Transportation Department could use the appropriate vendor based on model and manufacturer. This recommendation has been reviewed by the Transportation Fleet Manager. A more detailed review of the specifications can be obtained by contacting the Procurement Department.
