Councilmember Mary Virginia Kirchhoff advised the Council that the bid on the 2-1/2 ton cab and chassis should be awarded to Jack Morris Ford even though they were not the lowest bidder with a bid of $25,101.27. Kirckhoff feels the City should support local businesses whenever possible. Kirchhoff stated that, while important, price is not the only factor that should be taken into consideration. The location of the dealer, in terms of warranty and maintenance work on the vehicle, is very important. In this instance, I believe it to be a factor that is worth $696.17 to the City.
