The City of Fort Myers is issuing a sole‑source notice to The Pete Store (Peterbilt) for the provision of warranty‑covered OEM parts, routine maintenance, and warranty repair services for its fleet of sanitation trucks and related heavy‑duty equipment. The intent is to preserve manufacturer warranties, minimize vehicle downtime, and ensure compliance with factory specifications. Although no formal bid is required, other vendors may submit qualifications for consideration before the deadline.
