I wanted to ask you and your team if you would be willing to participate in a Pilot review of the first completed truck and fuel tank body, should we be awarded the bid, so that you all can thoroughly review the body for any concerning items should there be any present. This would be a great way of being able to address any issues at the beginning so they can be changed and or modified on the subsequent units.

Please refer to section 4.9 Demonstration and Descriptive Literature of the IFB.
