BACKGROUND

The fleet routinely requires fasteners and hardware to complete necessary maintenance and repairs. To avoid delays in the purchase and delivery of the required products and to meet the needs of our customers in a timely manner, it is essential that Public Works have the ability to purchase these items from more than one vendor. The lowest bidder, Fleet Services, will be designated as the primary vendor. TrucParCo and Fleet Pride will be the second and third vendors utilized.
