"You kinda combine those two together to come up with specs for our garbage trucks?" Sobkowski asked.

"Yes," Reeder answered.

Reeder is also heard saying they put a 150-day delivery time frame in the bid because he had asked both companies beforehand if they could make that deadline and they said yes.

Peterbilt received the contract for the three trucks during the first round of bidding in early 2013, but was not the lowest bidder. Their price, $712,882, was some $59,000 higher than the lowest bid received, but were the only ones to meet the 150-day deadline.

Field also testified the Buha brothers made donations to Snyder, between 2012 and 2013, of about $11,000 for Snyder's mayoral ball, golf outing and to help pay for a trip for Snyder and his wife to Austria, Germany and Croatia. At the same time, Field testified, the company was struggling financially and Stephen Buha took $250,000 from his retirement account to keep the company afloat.

Field testified the check to Snyder for consulting fees went to a nonexistent company, SRC Consulting, just one week after Snyder signed a purchase order for the purchase of two more trucks from the company in January 2014.
