I suspect their lower bid may have come from offering a lower price by ordering supplemental Silver Vs versus some buying a small number of boutique trains from some other supplier. FWIW, Denver Transit Partners, the winning bid included Hyundai Rotem as a partner. The losing bidders, Mountain-Air Transit Partners and Mile High Transit, included Siemens and Bombardier as their respective business partners. |
