** Wheels Bidco, Inc dba Worldpac, LLC did not bid on the entire price list for any of the 
three groups. Specifically for Toyota, they only bid five of the twenty five line items, with 
equivalents that are not equal to OEM. It is in the City’s best interest to award to a vendor 
that can provide all line items included in the solicitation. Fleet Services and Procurement 
will identify future procurement options for Group B – Toyota purchases.
