Thanks, Taylor!
I have checked out Emergency Vehicle Response, Tom and Mike are the first names I thought of. I have no connection to them, I've just spent many years reading their columns! Any idea on cost associated with their services? I don't recall seeing any sort of price quote on their site. Of course, I understand if a consultant would rather keep those sort of things between them and their clients. I'd just like to arm myself with some info to pitch to the chief to convince him we need help.
We've gone the manufacturer rep before - that's how we spec'ed our most recent engine, and how the previous chief procured apparatus. He preferred a certain make and he was able to ensure that one particular company won the bid. In the case of the engine we just bought, we worked with a rep to develop a spec and that manufacturer ended up losing the bid to someone else!
