The Ferrara's have that now, just not the audible part

Should be the 2005 Seagraves : Ladders 82, 83, 109, 136, 150 and the 2006 Seagraves : Ladders 2, 25, 36, 47, 52, 102, 103, 122, 148, 167. I think all the previous Seagrave rearmounts have been/will be replaced.

Question: Can the City give the order to Ferrara as an "add-on" to previous orders or do they have to go through the bid process again

Take care,

I believe they will have to rebid.  The links of contracts for equipment orders issued by New York, is normally 3 years.  Anytime during that period and add-on order can be issued, after that time new bids have to go out.  I believe the bid for the Ferrara rear mounts expired last year.

Example: 148 Truck - 2006 model - the 2005's look identical
