SUBJECT: Recommendation as to Purchase of Vehicles
�;. ,
October 27, 1977
Dear Sir:
We have studied the specification sheets of both the Plymouth
and the Ford police package autombiles, in an attempt to determine
if the sp�cifications of one would be sufficient to offset the
bid price on the other.
Attached, you will find a comparison sheet which illustrates
the differences in the specifications of both automobiles.
As you can clearly see, the economic and safety features of
the Plymouth are far greater than those of the Fo-rd. The
difference in pYice between the two makes of automobiles is
very small in comparison to the overall-. vaiue of the features
built into the Plymouth., Equipped as described on �i�he attached
pages, we feel that the Plymouth would give us more trouble
free service than the Ford.
Based upon the foregoing we recommend the purchase of
1978 Plymouth police cars.
