July 15, 2024To Gladys Ruiz, Administrator Analyst Purchasing Division City of VisaliaSubject: RFB 23-24-74 Bid Airfield SweeperFor this bid GCS Environmental Equipment Services Inc. was not able to find any suppliers that meet the DBE goals as stated on Exhibit B-14 (page 33) of the specifications. We contacted TYMCO several times and spoke with Kaye Morgan the Production/Sales Coordinator, Bobby Johnson VP of Marketing and Joe Fulbright the FAA Specialist at TYMCO. We also called a DBE trucking company in Southern CA we found that is a DBE and requested a quote to have them ship the Sweeper from TYMCO at Waco Texas to GCS EES, Inc in Woodland, CA they never responded. The Company Name is Munoz & Son Trucking Inc. Called them again on another phone number we found for them and the number has been disconnected. (714-280-9935)Regards,Tracy R.
