No, actually they have always run two tillers. This is their second Pierce tiller though. The first one was delivered back in 2010. Photo below: https://www.flickr.com/photos/piercemfg/5221300222/in/photolist-kLiL4g-8XowDC-pRf8Cp-8NZoVo-8S95du

Here is how they do it. They used a two tiered ranking system. Low Bid (Proposed Unit Pricing) is not the only factor. They also look at a Technical Evaluation Score. They combine the two scores to get an overall rating (Aggregate Proposal Score) for each proposal. Pierce comes out ahead due to the Technical Evaluation score. http://hermosabeach.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=4&clip_id=2740&meta_id=136536

Unfortunately, every request for bid is different so there is no set time table. I will say that last time it took a month and half to award the tiller bid. Hopefully this time it will be quicker as it was re-bid for a specific reason.

LAFD opened up bid offers for the tillers again, yesterday 7/8/14. Bids are due by 7/21/14.

Actually I believe I just found the issue. Per the Bid recap, "KME bid unresponsible due to failure to include Attachment C (Price List)." Attachment C is the price list for Amercian LaFrance parts. If that's the case, then the Rebid might be allowing KME to include Attachment C Pricing into there existing bid. *Also EVG and Smeal Fire Apparatus did not submit bids.

Per the Bid recap, Pierce was the low bidder as compared to KME. Only two listed. Pierce came in at $3.9mm vs $4.008mm for KME. Both for 4 Tillers. Additionally, Pierce had a quicker delivery time 300-330 days vs 320-360 days for KME. Possibly someone other then KME put in the complaint. Was anyone else bidding on these Tillers? Possibly a bid that got thrown out?

joeyk48 you work for Torrance FD?

Do you have the F number?

Yes I do have a source, straight from the LA City Online Bidding site. It was posted by LA City on Monday. Can't post a link as you have to be logged into the site in order to see open opporunities and awards.

Pierce was just awarded the bid.
