TEXT: As per our telephone conversation today, I am enclosing a copy of my Wayne cost sheet which reflects $ 107.75 for the warning lights which is included in my bid price for the Wayne Chaperone submitted on February 12, 1988.
As agreed, time is of the essence to maintaine a desirable delivery date and to utilize the chassis that was bid.
Therefore, please issue your purchase order at your earliest convience Upon receipt of your order, I will be able to establish a production "slot" for your bus with out further delay.
Between the time that I receive your order and actual production starts we will have approximately 60 days in which to resolve the warning Light issue.
Hopefully by working with the Head Start regional office in Kansas City, IDOT and Wayne Corporation, we can resolve the issue prior to the production start date.
Upon resolution, we will delete the warning lights from the body order, which in turn will be reflected in a reduction of $ 107.75 from the bid price.
I will continue to give this problem my close attention in an effort to obtain the light reduction and ensuing credit for you.
Please send your purchase order to my attention and as follows:
