However, no such options exist at this time and there is no <br />indication as to when to expect them to be available for future purchases. Additionally, no after -market <br />hybid retrofit options currently are available. <br />The specifications for this vehicle require the integration of a dump body hoist for the bed of the pick-up <br />truck that allows the truck to dump debris and material similarto that of a regular dump truck, in a smaller, <br />more compact scale. This has been a standard feature for these vehicles to accommodate the service <br />demands of Park operations for many years. In recent years, the manufacturing process for Ford has <br />changed in that the thickness of the steel used to construct the bed of the Ford F250 trucks has decreased <br />and no longer complies with the structural requirements of the dump body hoist. However, the Ford <br />F350's specifications continue to meet the structural needs of the dump body hoist. <br />On September 30, 2019 a Notice Inviting Sealed Bids was published in The San Mateo Daily Journal with <br />a submission deadline of 2:30 p.m. on October 23, 2019.
