The current rescue body will be re-furbished and re-mounted by the manufacturer, FRAZER Inc. on the new chassis for a total cost of $163,325.00. A remount consists of removing the modular box portion, placing it on a new chassis and refurbishing several components of the box. The remounts will be conducted through Frazer who is administering the contract through Sterling McCall Ford.
