Ferrara Aerials/Spartan Smeal?

[npfd801]

I wonder how the Ferrara/FDNY contract figures into all this.  The aerial Smeal provided to Ferrara for FDNY was not an off the shelf product.  While I'm sure the REV folks could reverse engineer it, I wonder if this would allow the FDNY an out from their contract (should they want it).

I'm sure the contract with FDNY stipulates that Smeal deliver aerials until the contract is fulfilled.  Any new contracts will likely have to result in KME/Ferrara engineering their own solution.

As an example, Rosenbauer still built multi year contracts on Spartan chassis long after they started their own chassis line and parted ways with Spartan.
