With FDNY's 5 year bumper to bumper warranty. All suppliers of the parts must honor the 5 years, example Waterous pump 5 year, Elkhart Brass valves 5 year and so on.The FDNY warranty scares a lot of vendors away.
Rigs then made by LEGO.If no manufacturer wants to bid because of the 5 year warranty what would happen?
Manufacturer's will routinely bid on specs even if they can't knowingly meet them completely. Let's say Pierce submitted a bid but limited the warranty to 2 years and couldn't build a stainless-steel cab, the FDNY could still decide to accept their bid with the exceptions outlined in their submission.If no manufacturer wants to bid because of the 5 year warranty what would happen?
