How to request a price quote on a vehicle.
In order to respond to your request for a bid on a police or emergency vehicle, I must have a written request from your agency. The reason that the request needs to be written is that General Motors requires that I send a copy of the request to the General Motors Bid Center for fleet account verification, before I respond to a bid. This is also the only way that I can request government bid assistance and receive price protection on the price I quote your agency. This request should be on one of your agency's bid request form, or on your agency's letterhead.

The following information is needed to be included in the bid request:

The agency's name, physical address (NOT P.O. BOX), phone number, and fax number (if available). The model of the vehicle you are requesting a bid on, and the factory installed optional equipment you want included in the vehicle bid. A BID OPENING DATE AND TIME. This is very important. The bid opening date needs to be no sooner than ten days after I receive your bid request. This time is needed to verify your GM fleet account information (at least three days). Once verified, I then have to apply for the bid assistance and price protection (another three days). Then allow three to four days for the postal service to deliver the bid back to your location. The name of the contact person on this request, and their phone number. I need your best estimate of the number of vehicles involved in this bid request. Please mail your request for a bid to Frank Hartley, c/o Wilson County Motor Company, 1310 West Main Street, Lebanon, TN 37087, or fax it to (615) 449-7637. Once I receive you written request for bid, I will get to work on getting your bid ready. Thank you for you interest, Frank Hartley
