WHEREAS, Per the City of Homer’s Procurement Policy, Public Works solicited quotes from the two firms known to manufacture these rubber units; two quotes were received, and Fenderteam Americas, Inc. quoted the lowest price (see Memorandum 12-094); and

WHEREAS, This award is not final until notice is received by Fenderteam Americas, Inc. of Lansdowne, Virginia, from the City of Homer.
