Purchase decision worksheet
Compare offers only after suppliers answer the same duty, chassis, body, quantity, destination, inspection, and document brief. A quoted price without scope is not a like-for-like result.
| Comparison item | Required basis | Evidence to request |
|---|---|---|
| Chassis and ratings | Exact model year, wheelbase, GVWR, GAWR, axle spacing, powertrain, and installed options | Configuration sheet, drawings, rating-label sample, and calculation basis |
| Dump body package | Dimensions, volume basis, material grade and thickness, hoist, tailgate, tarp, liner, and hydraulics | Body drawing, scope list, material statement, and component data |
| Price and terms | Same quantity, currency, Incoterm, destination, payment stages, warranty scope, and quote validity | Itemized offer listing inclusions, exclusions, and change triggers |
| Inspection and files | Same inspection stages, acceptance criteria, manuals, parts list, and configuration-specific compliance files | Inspection plan, sample record, and exact-model document index |
| Delivery scope | Separate inland movement, export packing, freight, duty, broker, and destination services | Route assumptions and itemized logistics responsibility |
Comparison begins by freezing material, density, route, body volume, hoist, chassis ratings, axle spacing, wheelbase, powertrain, brakes, tires, quantity, delivery basis, and evidence list. Deviations remain visible rather than being averaged into a score. A substitute may stay in consideration, but its effect on payload, unloading, maneuverability, service support, documents, price, and timing must be restated before acceptance.
First, supplier statements require evidence tied to the quoted vehicle. Second, destination approval and registration remain configuration-specific. Third, price and lead time remain provisional until the supplier accepts the final technical and commercial scope.
The resulting worksheet records whether each supplier answered, deviated, supplied evidence, or left an item open. Buyers can then compare a high-end, mid-range, budget, or undecided sourcing preference without treating that preference as a verified supplier rating.
Submit the open choices, optional budget range and currency, and high-end, mid-range, budget, or undecided supplier preference.
