Sterling McCall is the authorized motor vehicle dealer and Frazer will coordinate the upfit of the ambulance with Sterling McCall Ford.
The purpose of this request is to change the contracted vendor for the ambulance purchase from Frazer to Sterling McCall Ford in the amount of $273,248 as previous approved on June 24, 2019.
