m repowering the truck, including new engine, automatic transmission and
drivetrain modifications. Phase 2 will involve work on the .truck
body, cab and aerial tower ladder. The City can ,save money by
contracting directly with Interstate Diesel Inc. of Minneapolis for
,Phase 1 of the project. Phase 2 is to be performed by pierce Fire
Equipment of Wisconsin. If we were to include Phase 1 with Phase 2
_ ,being done, by the pierce Co., we would experience an additional

fifteen years.'
