There is very little price difference between the third and
fourth tenders. Both are supplied by the same firm and both
make use of the freight!iner chassis. Both meet our
specifications in all! respects. However the Jaeger Packer is
made and serviced locally whereas the Hell Packer is serviced in
Langley. The Deputy Engineer/Qperations Manager has stated that
The extra cost of running the vehicle to Langley for servicing
would average out to about $1,200 per year. It would therefore
be wise to award the tender to the product which is manufactured

and serviced locally by Del Equipment even though jit is a few
thousand dollars higher initially.

The budget for these two packers was set at $240,000. The
equipment reserve has sufficient funds to cover the extra
$14,000 for the recommended purchase.
