RECOMMENDATION
After reviewing the acceptable bids the recommendation is to award the bid to Peach
State based on the lowest price as well as other requirements not being met . The
committee feels the difference in price is justified by the inconsistencies and deviations
in the analysis of the Fire Line Proposal. Gordon County will be purchasing 4 pumpers.
This award will be funded from the 2018 SPLOST funds.
Please see the attached Fire Apparatus Committee recommendation.
