This letter was copied in and made a part of the minutes of this meeting. CoDv of Letter from Fire Chief Fire Department Fayetteville, Arkansas July 22, 1960 Honorable Mayor and City Council: After carefully examining all the bids submitted on the fire apparatus, I have come to tbLe conclusion that the bid from the American La France Company would be the best buy fo the City and would like to recommend that you accept this contract. I' I realize that this was not the lowest bid, but the other companies have much greater variations from our advertised specifications, which would make their prices much high if the extra equipment were added. I will be glad to point this out in each individual bid if you wish. This will also keep our equipment standardized, and we would not have one apparatus whi operated differently from the others. This would make it more difficult for the firemen to learn and remember to operate and would also add extra responsibility to our trainin, and drill program. Yours very truly, (s) Burl -Skelton Fire Chief After a brief discussion during which Fire Chief Skelton pointed out the differences in the fire apparatus, Alderman Burgin moved to accept the recommendation of the Fire Chia. and purchase the fire apparatus from the American La France Company, Elmira, New York, for the total sum of $12,995.25 according to the plans and specifications furnished by the City Engineer and Fire Chief.
