As a pretty wide spread between the high and low bids, looks like there must've been quite a bit of room for interpretation in the specifications.  Several of these bidders are not very well known commodities, especially to FDNY.  Isn't Odyssey, the one that did the new Battalion Chief Vehicles?

 

[manhattan]

Am I correct in thinking that those costs (well over $1 million per unit) mean that the vehicles are delivered fully equipped?

 

[tbendick]

That's total cost for 4 units plus 20k for something else  its on dcas site

 

[anesti]

so its GABRIELLI TRUCK SALES LTD as the low bidder??

 

[tbendick]

ODYSSEY is. Ignore the numbers next to them. The list is top down on both

[Bulldog]

Anesti,

The fact that they closed was discussed in the thread talking about a new vehicle for Fire and EMS command vehicles.
