The cab on the new ladders are split-tilt, so Ferrara would be able to meet the spec if it is written that way (which I imagine it is, seeing that the last round of pumpers was).

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize that the Ultra cab that Ferrara builds is split-tilt. I really don't pay that much attention to FDNY stuff. (I also realize that is blasphemy to some folks!) I wasn't saying that Ferrara or KME couldn't build a split-tilt, it's just that engineering one would add to the cost. With the lower bids, I was guessing that maybe they had taken exception to it.
