What Glendale is buying

The City of Glendale is requesting quotes for a Ford F-350 XL or equivalent regular-cab chassis, 4x2 with dual rear wheels, fitted with a 9-foot utility body, liftgate, and lumber rack.

This RFQ may suit vehicle dealers, work-truck suppliers, or firms that can provide the requested configuration. Vendors quoting an equivalent must include a specification sheet; without one, the quote for that item or the whole quote may be rejected.
