Schwarze warrants their equipment be free of defects in material and workmanship for one year or 1200 usage hours after purchase. Schwarze also warrants new parts be free from defects in material and workmanship for 90 days after purchase. Schwarze covers the repair or replacement of defective parts in both scenarios. Schwarze stainless steel hoppers come with a lifetime warranty. They are warranted against rust perforation and corrosion perforation for the ‘LIFETIME” of the sweeper of the ownership period of the original owner, of which LIFETIME WARRANTY must be acknowledged on the original sales order. Warranty repairs must be made by Schwarze Industries or authorized agents. This warranty is non-transferable. Schwarze warranties hydraulic valves and motors for a period of 2 years and hydraulic pumps and fittings for 5 years. These warranties are subject to maintenance requirements and annual inspections by a Schwarze authorized agent/dealer. This warranty applies to the original owner only and is non-transferable. All Schwarze Single Engine Sweepers warranty the VPD (single engine drive device) for a period of three years with unlimited hours of use. All labor on pre-authorized warranty items is covered under Schwarze's warranty. Schwarze is committed to providing parts for warranty claims within 48 hours of the claim being filed. There are longer warranty coverage periods for units mounted on commercial chassis. That coverage,for example, would come from the chassis manufacturer and carries a three year standard warranty. Also, some Schwarze models utilize ▇▇▇▇ Deere auxiliary engines that have a two year coverage period. Each OEM component would be covered by their own warranty. Extended multiple year warranties are available to purchase at a “pass through” price for these OEM components when the original purchase of the machine is made. * 46 Do your warranties impose usage restrictions or other limitations that adversely affect coverage? The above warranty information states 1200 usage hours. If beyond the 1200 hour standard warranty, warranty would be negotiated. Each component's warranty will carry the original equipment manufacturers warranty. * 47 Do your warranties cover the expense of technicians' travel time and mileage to perform warranty repairs?

Each Member not accessible to a local dealer will have to contact ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ dedicated warranty specialists, communicate the issue of concern and receive a written Statement of Warranty work from their Warranty Specialist. If the customer is comfortable with working on the unit with the written permission from Schwarze, they will be shipped parts at no cost, return any defective parts required (at no cost) and will be issued a labor credit at the current dealer warranty labor rate that they may use to purchase replacement parts in the future. * 49 Will you cover warranty service for items made by other manufacturers that are part of your proposal, or are these warranties issues typically passed on to the original equipment manufacturer? Schwarze will not cover warranty service for items made by other manufacturers that are part of this proposal. The warranties are issued and serviced by authorized OEM dealers throughout the United States and Canada. Examples of these OEM's would consist of ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and Freightliner. If any member should have trouble with this arrangement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will help the Member facilitate the utilization of these OEM warranties. * 50 What are your proposed exchange and return programs and policies? Because each unit is built to order, there is no set exchange or return policies. * 51 Describe any service contract options for the items included in your proposal.

It is important to Schwarze that all of their dealers develope a strong trust and commitment with their local customers. All Schwarze dealers have their own in-house maintenance facilities along with road-side mobile service repair.

Schwarze does not quote rates or terms for leasing, however it should be known to Members that we have this service available to them. Schwarze will work with other Sourcewell Awarded Vendors (NCL) or any leasing agency of the Member's choice. * 54 Describe any standard transaction documents that you propose to use in connection with an awarded contract (order forms, terms and conditions, service level agreements, etc.).

Schwarze purchases chassis with substantial quantity discounts. Schwarze will also allow the customer to supply their own chassis in which to mount the body. * 57 Quantify the pricing discount represented by the pricing proposal in this response. For example, if the pricing in your response represents a percentage discount from MSRP or list, state the percentage or percentage range. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is proposing a 5% discount from the base model list price for all of their sweeper products.

Schwarze will provide any items “specific” to Sourcewell Members needs that they are able to. The pricing for such items will be cost plus 20%.

Any documentation of cost that Schwarze can provide for these items will be presented on an individual basis when requested. * 60 Identify any element of the total cost of acquisition that is NOT included in the pricing submitted with your response. This includes all additional charges associated with a purchase that are not directly identified as freight or shipping charges. For example, list costs for items like pre- delivery inspection, installation, set up, mandatory training, or initial inspection. Identify any parties that impose such costs and their relationship to the Proposer. There are several costs not included in the pricing submitted in this proposal. These costs are listed below: Freight and Delivery: Freight costs will be pre-paid and added to the Members Quote and Invoice. Small items will be, in most cases, delivered by UPS. Other freight carriers may be utilized in shipments, i.e. Federal Express, DHL and common carrier for truck freight. The actual cost of shipment will be passed through to the customer. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will not mark up this item for profit. Minimal handling fees may be added where special packaging is required. The Member will be notified of these charges if applicable prior to order placement. Federal Excise Tax: Schwarze is required by law to collect Federal Excise Tax on any truck mounted unit rated above 33,000 GVW. This tax will be added to the customer invoice as a separate line item. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will pay this tax directly to the Internal Revenue Service. The rate of tax is calculated at 12%. Most municipal and non-profit entities are exempt from this tax. If Schwarze is provided a Federal Excise Tax Exemption Certificate, they will not be required to collect this tax. Mounting Fee: This fee is charged to the customer when ordering a truck mounted unit. Mounting fees cover the cost of the mounting of the body on the desired truck chassis. Federally Mandated Items: The cost of any federally mandated items will be passed on to the Member. Schwarze pricing includes any federally mandated items that are mandated at the time of this proposal. Should there be a Federal Mandate after the date of this proposal, any cost incurred to meet the requirements of this mandate will be passed on to the member. Any costs applicable will be provided to the Member prior to any Purchase Order being issued. This fee would typically be charged to meet any future EPA standards that may arise. An example of such costs would be in meeting Federal Emission Standards. Local Dealer Pre-Delivery Inspection, On Site Training, and Local Delivery Fees: These costs are charged by local dealers to inspect, test, in service the unit, local extended delivery and follow up training. These costs are a pass through cost to the member from the local dealer. * 61 If freight, delivery, or shipping is an additional cost to the Sourcewell participating entity, describe in detail the complete freight, shipping, and delivery program. All freight charges are pre-paid and added to the Member quotation for convenience. Members always have the choice of picking up the units at the factory or retain a 3rd party of their choice to deliver the equipment. The freight charges are at a pass-through price. Schwarze has negotiated quantity-discounted shipping rates and will pass those discounts on to the Members. Most offered items are custom built to customer specification. Anticipated delivery of items ordered on a stock chassis or customer supplied chassis is expected to be 45-90 days after receipt of order or customer chassis. Anticipated delivery of an item ordered on a “special order” chassis is expected to be 120-180 days after receipt of order; however, this time can vary greatly depending upon chassis manufacturer back log. Delivery of truck mounted units will be pre-paid and added to Member Quotation and Invoice. Both “Drive-A-Way” service and common carrier service will be used. * 62 Specifically describe freight, shipping, and delivery terms or programs available for Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, or any offshore delivery. The shipping and delivery charges for Canada, Alaska and Hawaii and any other off shore location are the same as the previously stated delivery programs for the contiguous US. The shipping charges to the port location will be calculated in the same manner. If the customer wishes that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ deliver via ocean transport, Schwarze will pass on the negotiated shipping rates that they will pay to the ocean transport carrier to the Member. It has been their experience that the customers in these locations usually have their own negotiated rates with shipping carriers. If this is the case, Schwarze will provide the customer shipping to their desired port and provide the customer with the appropriate documentation required. Schwarze strives to provide the equipment as customer specified and to their satisfaction upon delivery. * 63 Describe any unique distribution and/or delivery methods or options offered in your proposal. As stated above, Schwarze does pass on negotiated, competitively bid freight pricing to their customers.

Schwarze will provide any items “specific” to Sourcewell Members needs that they are able to. The Attached Documents: Please reference our pricing for such items will be cost plus 20%. Prior to accepting an order with Open Market items from a Sourcewell Member, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will discuss the availability of a specific request and price the item. Any documentation of cost that Schwarze can provide for these items will be presented on an individual basis when requested. * 60 Identify any element of the total cost of acquisition that is NOT included materials in the pricing submitted with your response. This includes all additional charges associated with a purchase that are not directly identified as freight or shipping charges. For example, list costs for items like pre- delivery inspection, installation, set up, mandatory training, or initial inspection. Identify any parties that impose such costs and their relationship to the Proposer. There are several costs not included in the pricing submitted in this proposal. These costs are listed below: Freight and Delivery: Freight costs will be pre-paid and added to the Members Quote and Invoice. Small items will be, in most cases, delivered by UPS. Other freight carriers may be utilized in shipments, i.e. Federal Express, DHL and common carrier for truck freight. The actual cost of shipment will be passed through to the customer. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will not mark up this item for profit. Minimal handling fees may be added where special packaging is required. The Member will be notified of these charges if applicable prior to order placement. Federal Excise Tax: Schwarze is required by law to collect Federal Excise Tax on any truck mounted unit rated above 33,000 GVW. This tax will be added to the customer invoice as a separate line item. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will pay this tax directly to the Internal Revenue Service. The rate of tax is calculated at 12%. Most municipal and non-profit entities are exempt from this tax. If Schwarze is provided a Federal Excise Tax Exemption Certificate, they will not be required to collect this tax. Mounting Fee: This fee is charged to the customer when ordering a truck mounted unit. Mounting fees cover the cost of the mounting of the body on the desired truck chassis. Federally Mandated Items: The cost of any federally mandated items will be passed on to the Member. Schwarze pricing includes any federally mandated items that are mandated at the time of this proposal. Should there be a Federal Mandate after the date of this proposal, any cost incurred to meet the requirements of this mandate will be passed on to the member. Any costs applicable will be provided to the Member prior to any Purchase Order being issued. This fee would typically be charged to meet any future EPA standards that may arise. An example of such costs would be in meeting Federal Emission Standards. Local Dealer Pre-Delivery Inspection, On Site Training, and Local Delivery Fees: These costs are charged by local dealers to inspect, test, in service the unit, local extended delivery and follow up training. These costs are a pass through cost to the member from the local dealer. * 61 If freight, delivery, or shipping is an additional cost to the Sourcewell participating entity, describe in detail the complete freight, shipping, and delivery program. All freight charges are pre-paid and added to the Member quotation for convenience. Members always have the choice of picking up the units at the factory or retain a 3rd party of their choice to deliver the equipment. The freight charges are at a pass-through price. Schwarze has negotiated quantity-discounted shipping rates and will pass those discounts on to the Members. Most offered items are custom built to customer specification. Anticipated delivery of items ordered on a stock chassis or customer supplied chassis is expected to be 45-90 days after receipt of order or customer chassis. Anticipated delivery of an item ordered on a “special order” chassis is expected to be 120-180 days after receipt of order; however, this time can vary greatly depending upon chassis manufacturer back log. Delivery of truck mounted units will be pre-paid and added to Member Quotation and Invoice. Both “Drive-A-Way” service and common carrier service will be used. * 62 Specifically describe freight, shipping, and delivery terms or programs available for Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, or any offshore delivery. The shipping and delivery charges for Canada, Alaska and Hawaii and any other off shore location are the same as the previously stated delivery programs for the contiguous US. The shipping charges to the port location will be calculated in the same manner. If the customer wishes that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ deliver via ocean transport, Schwarze will pass on the negotiated shipping rates that they will pay to the ocean transport carrier to the Member. It has been their experience that the customers in these locations usually have their own negotiated rates with shipping carriers. If this is the case, Schwarze will provide the customer shipping to their desired port and provide the customer with the appropriate documentation required. Schwarze strives to provide the equipment as customer specified and to their satisfaction upon delivery. * 63 Describe any unique distribution and/or delivery methods or options offered in your proposal. As stated above, Schwarze does pass on negotiated, competitively bid freight pricing to their customers. Most of the Schwarze Dealers do have units in stock and Member's can purchase those units to enhance delivery times and in some cases better prices for any previous year's inventoryPricing upload category. *

Customers Operations and Maintenance of ITCs Honeywell's vast O&M experience and history of working in thousands of facilities enables us to fulfill the critical role of ensuring an efficient, productive building environment for our customers. Honeywell places a strong focus on supporting our customers well beyond the installation of their project • Over $600M annually in facility services to over 50,000 customers worldwide • Over 1,300 facilities worldwide that outsource their support our customers daily missions • Over 3000 customers supported by ISO:9001- 2000 Global Service Response Center • Large O&M agreements with Fort ▇▇▇▇▇, White Oak, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ AFB and Fort ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Technical, Personnel, and Performance Risks Associated with O&M of ITCs Honeywell has assessed the technical, personnel, performance risks and responsibilities associated with the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) of the proposed ITCs. The benefits of Honeywell's O&M solution are highlighted in Figure 21. A more detailed O&M description for each ITC is discussed under each ITC Section. Operations The customer is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the installed ITCs. Since none of the installed ITCs require a dedicated resource for operations, there is minimal impact to regular operational processes. The technical and performance risks of all ITCs are ultimately the responsibility of Honeywell through the warranty term unless Honeywell is contracted for ongoing maintenance. Maintenance Honeywell can be responsible for all preventive maintenance on the installed ITCs. Scheduled preventive maintenance is initiated by our Global Service Response Center (GSRC), which dispatches the appropriate Honeywell Branch personnel or Equipment Manufacturer representative to complete the scheduled task. We conduct several maintenance compliance inspections throughout the year with base personnel to ensure the preventive maintenance is being completed as required. During the Design Phase, Honeywell meets with customer personnel to review the Honeywell preventive maintenance tasks that are included in the ongoing services agreement. Repair and Replacement Honeywell can be responsible for all repairs and replacement of the installed ITCs for the life of the contract with the exception of equipment that carry a specific warranty. Honeywell trains Sourcewell employees on the repair of the installed ITCs as part of the commissioning process. During the Design Phase Honeywell meets with Sourcewell personnel to review the Honeywell repair and replacement responsibilities that are includedin the ongoing services agreement. ITC Performance Honeywell assumes performance risk of the ITCs during the warranty period of the contract or as defined by an on-going service agreement. In instances where the customer is responsible for O&M of the equipment, the customer must retain and provide written record of all planned and unplanned maintenance, repair, and replacement. ITC Failures Honeywell can be responsible for ITCs that fail during the life of the contract, except equipment with specific warranty expiration. If contracted for on-gong service, should an installed ITC fail during the service term, Honeywell can replace the failed equipment with an equal or better. Features Benefits 24/7/365 Operation • “Live” Technician Available 24 Hours 365 Days a Year Increased Efficiency • Minimize Service Calls and Disruptions • Monitoring for Abnormal Conditions Minimizes Equipment Down Time Customer Value Measurement • Responsiveness and Highest Levels of Customer Satisfaction Figure 21: Honeywell leverages service solutions to improve comfort and occupant satisfaction and safety Quality Assurance The Honeywell quarterly Quality Assurance on-site inspection tracks the performance and functionality of the ITCs. Performance deviations and/or operation and maintenance issues are immediately reported to the agency and corrective action is taken. Response Time Any repair or service calls initiated by Sourcewell personnel are called into the Honeywell GSRC. The GSRC immediately dispatches local service branch technicians to visit the site, communicate with the assigned Sourcewell resource, and fix the problem. The GSRC conducts remote monitoring and control, service dispatching, data collection, and operational analysis. During the Design Phase, the response time responsibilities and processes that are included in the on- going services agreement are reviewed and agreed upon. Training Training of customer personnel on the proper operation, maintenance, and repair of the installed ITCs begins after the installation, during commissioning of the equipment, and prior to agency acceptance. Honeywell trains assigned customer personnel on all ITC equipment installed under the task order. Training includes a mix of on-site, Web-based, and videotaped training. During the Design Phase, Honeywell and Sourcewell personnel develop a site-specific training program ensuring a thorough understanding of all operation, service, repair, and replacement areas. * Describe in detail your performance standards or repair work on their equipment guarantees, including conditions and requirements to qualify, claims procedure, and overall structure.

The actual cost of shipment will be passed through to the customer. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will not mark up this item for profit. Minimal handling fees may be added where special packaging is required. The Member will be notified of these charges if applicable prior to order placement. Federal Excise Tax: Schwarze is required by law to collect Federal Excise Tax on any truck mounted unit rated above 33,000 GVW. This tax will be added to the customer invoice as a separate line item. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will pay this tax directly to the Internal Revenue Service. The rate of tax is calculated at 12%. Most municipal and non-profit entities are exempt from this tax. If Schwarze is provided a Federal Excise Tax Exemption Certificate, they will not be required to collect this tax. Mounting Fee: This fee is charged to the customer when ordering a truck mounted unit. Mounting fees cover the cost of the mounting of the body on the desired truck chassis. Federally Mandated Items: The cost of any federally mandated items will be passed on to the Member.

Should there be a Federal Mandate after the date of this proposal, any cost incurred to meet the requirements of this mandate will be passed on to the member. Any costs applicable will be provided to the Member prior to any Purchase Order being issued. This fee would typically be charged to meet any future EPA standards that may arise. An example of such costs would be in meeting Federal Emission Standards. Local Dealer Pre-Delivery Inspection, On Site Training, and Local Delivery Fees: These costs are charged by local dealers to inspect, test, in service the unit, local extended delivery and follow up training. These costs are a pass through cost to the member from the local dealer. * 61 If freight, delivery, or shipping is an additional cost to the Sourcewell participating entity, describe in detail the complete freight, shipping, and delivery program. All freight charges are pre-paid and added to the Member quotation for convenience. Members always have the choice of picking up the units at the factory or retain a 3rd party of their choice to deliver the equipment. The freight charges are at a pass-through price. Schwarze has negotiated quantity-discounted shipping rates and will pass those discounts on to the Members. Most offered items are custom built to customer specification. Anticipated delivery of items ordered on a stock chassis or customer supplied chassis is expected to be 45-90 days after receipt of order or customer chassis. Anticipated delivery of an item ordered on a “special order” chassis is expected to be 120-180 days after receipt of order; however, this time can vary greatly depending upon chassis manufacturer back log. Delivery of truck mounted units will be pre-paid and added to Member Quotation and Invoice. Both “Drive-A-Way” service and common carrier service will be used. * 62 Specifically describe freight, shipping, and delivery terms or programs available for Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, or any offshore delivery. The shipping and delivery charges for Canada, Alaska and Hawaii and any other off shore location are the same as the previously stated delivery programs for the contiguous US. The shipping charges to the port location will be calculated in the same manner. If the customer wishes that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ deliver via ocean transport, Schwarze will pass on the negotiated shipping rates that they will pay to the ocean transport carrier to the Member. It has been their experience that the customers in these locations usually have their own negotiated rates with shipping carriers. If this is the case, Schwarze will provide the customer shipping to their desired port and provide the customer with the appropriate documentation required. Schwarze strives to provide the equipment as customer specified and to their satisfaction upon delivery. * 63 Describe any unique distribution and/or delivery methods or options offered in your proposal. As stated above, Schwarze does pass on negotiated, competitively bid freight pricing to their customers. Most of the Schwarze Dealers do have units in stock and Member's can purchase those units to enhance delivery times and in some cases better prices for any previous year's inventory. *.

Line Item Question Response. 45 Do your warranties cover all products, parts, and labor? Schwarze warrants their equipment be free of defects in material and workmanship for one year or 1200 usage hours after purchase. Schwarze also warrants new parts be free from defects in material and workmanship for 90 days after purchase. Schwarze covers the repair or replacement of defective parts in both scenarios. Schwarze stainless steel hoppers come with a lifetime warranty. They are warranted against rust perforation and corrosion perforation for the ‘LIFETIME” of the sweeper of the ownership period of the original owner, of which LIFETIME WARRANTY must be acknowledged on the original sales order. Warranty repairs must be made by Schwarze Industries or authorized agents. This warranty is non-transferable. Schwarze warranties hydraulic valves and motors for a period of 2 years and hydraulic pumps and fittings for 5 years. These warranties are subject to maintenance requirements and annual inspections by a Schwarze authorized agent/dealer. This warranty applies to the original owner only and is non-transferable. All Schwarze Single Engine Sweepers warranty the VPD (single engine drive device) for a period of three years with unlimited hours of use. All labor on pre-authorized warranty items is covered under Schwarze's warranty. Schwarze is committed to providing parts for warranty claims within 48 hours of the claim being filed. There are longer warranty coverage periods for units mounted on commercial chassis. That coverage,for example, would come from the chassis manufacturer and carries a three year standard warranty. Also, some Schwarze models utilize ▇▇▇▇ Deere auxiliary engines that have a two year coverage period. Each OEM component would be covered by their own warranty. Extended multiple year warranties are available to purchase at a “pass through” price for these OEM components when the original purchase of the machine is made. * 46 Do your warranties impose usage restrictions or other limitations that adversely affect coverage? The above warranty information states 1200 usage hours. If beyond the 1200 hour standard warranty, warranty would be negotiated. Each component's warranty will carry the original equipment manufacturers warranty. * 47 Do your warranties cover the expense of technicians' travel time and mileage to perform warranty repairs? The warranty coverage will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis with the customers dedicated Warranty Specialist. Travel time and mileage may be considered to be covered under warranty.

How will Sourcewell participating entities in these regions be provided service for warranty repair? Every geographic region of the United States and Canada will be covered by either local dealer's certified technicians or Schwarze will provide each customer specialized assistance for warranty repairs. Each Member not accessible to a local dealer will have to contact ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ dedicated warranty specialists, communicate the issue of concern and receive a written Statement of Warranty work from their Warranty Specialist. If the customer is comfortable with working on the unit with the written permission from Schwarze, they will be shipped parts at no cost, return any defective parts required (at no cost) and will be issued a labor credit at the current dealer warranty labor rate that they may use to purchase replacement parts in the future. * 49 Will you cover warranty service for items made by other manufacturers that are part of your proposal, or are these warranties issues typically passed on to the original equipment manufacturer? Schwarze will not cover warranty service for items made by other manufacturers that are part of this proposal. The warranties are issued and serviced by authorized OEM dealers throughout the United States and Canada. Examples of these OEM's would consist of ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇Cummins, and Freightliner. If any member should have trouble with this arrangement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will help the Member facilitate the utilization of these OEM warranties. * 50 What are your proposed exchange and return programs and policies? Because each unit is built to order, there is no set exchange or return policies. * 51 Describe any service contract options for the items included in your proposal. Customers that outsource their warranty, service or repair work on their equipment may contact the local servicing dealer. Each dealer is independently owned and employ dedicated parts and service personnel. Schwarze dealers have been specifically chosen to represent products based on their sustained financial stability, ability to provide superior product support both before and after the sale. It is important to Schwarze that all of their dealers develope a strong trust and commitment with their local customers. All Schwarze dealers have their own in-house maintenance facilities along with road-side mobile service repair. Each local dealer will have the capability to provide service contracts and do so regularly. These service contracts are dictated by case by case customer relationships. Schwarze does not offer service contract options directly to their customers. * 52 Describe your payment terms and accepted payment methods? Payment terms are net 30 days unless otherwise arranged prior to purchase on a case-by-case basis. Payments for units can be paid for my check, wire transfer or Automated Clearing House transfer (AHC). P- Cards can be used to purchase parts only. * 53 Describe any leasing or financing options available for use by educational or governmental entities. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ does utilize municipal and non-profit leasing through third party vendors if there is Member interest. Schwarze does not quote rates or terms for leasing, however it should be known to Members that we have this service available to them. Schwarze will work with other Sourcewell Awarded Vendors (NCL) or any leasing agency of the Member's choice. * 54 Describe any standard transaction documents that you propose to use in connection with an awarded contract (order forms, terms and conditions, service level agreements, etc.).

It is ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ intent to offer a percentage discount from the manufacturer list price to the Sourcewell Members on all of the items being proposed in this offer. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ discount will be based on a percentage off of the profit-making base model portion of this award. Schwarze mounts their products on commercial truck chassis. In order to provide the customer with convenience and the best pricing available, Schwarze will provide the truck chassis with no profit associated or at a Pass-Through price.

Schwarze purchases chassis with substantial quantity discounts. Schwarze will also allow the customer to supply their own chassis in which to mount the body. * 57 Quantify the pricing discount represented by the pricing proposal in this response. For example, if the pricing in your response represents a percentage discount from MSRP or list, state the percentage or percentage range. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is proposing a 5% discount from the base model list price for all of their sweeper products.

Federally Mandated Items: The cost of any federally mandated items will be passed on to the Member. Schwarze pricing includes any federally mandated items that are mandated at the time of this proposal. Should there be a Federal Mandate after the date of this proposal, any cost incurred to meet the requirements of this mandate will be passed on to the member. Any costs applicable will be provided to the Member prior to any Purchase Order being issued. This fee would typically be charged to meet any future EPA Canadian standards that may arise. An example of such costs would be in meeting Federal Emission Standards. Local Dealer Pre-Delivery Inspection, On Site Training, and Local Delivery Fees: These costs are charged by local dealers to inspect, test, in service the unit, local extended delivery and follow up training. These costs are a pass through cost to the member from the local dealer. * 61 If freight, delivery, or shipping is an additional cost to the Sourcewell participating entity, describe in detail the complete freight, shipping, and delivery program. All freight charges are pre-paid and added to the Member quotation for convenience. Members always have the choice of picking up the units at the factory or retain a 3rd party of their choice to deliver the equipment. The freight charges are at a pass-through price. Schwarze has negotiated quantity-discounted shipping rates and will pass those discounts on to the Members. Most offered items are custom built to customer specification. Anticipated delivery of items ordered on a stock chassis or customer supplied chassis is expected to be 45-90 days after receipt of order or customer chassis. Anticipated delivery of an item ordered on a “special order” chassis is expected to be 120-180 days after receipt of order; however, this time can vary greatly depending upon chassis manufacturer back log. Delivery of truck mounted units will be pre-paid and added to Member Quotation and Invoice. Both “Drive-A-Way” service and common carrier service will be used. * 62 Specifically describe freight, shipping, and delivery terms or programs available for Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, or any offshore delivery. The shipping and delivery charges for Canada, Alaska and Hawaii and any other off shore location are the same as the previously stated delivery programs for the contiguous US. The shipping charges to the port location will be calculated in the same manner. If the customer wishes that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ deliver via ocean transport, Schwarze will pass on the negotiated shipping rates that they will pay to the ocean transport carrier to the Member. It has been their experience that the customers in these locations usually have their own negotiated rates with shipping carriers. If this is the case, Schwarze will provide the customer shipping to their desired port and provide the customer with the appropriate documentation required. Schwarze strives to provide the equipment as customer specified and to their satisfaction upon delivery. * 63 Describe any unique distribution and/or delivery methods or options offered in your proposal. As stated above, Schwarze does pass on negotiated, competitively bid freight pricing to their customers. Most of the Schwarze Dealers do have units in stock and Member's can purchase those units to enhance delivery times and in some cases better prices for any previous year's inventory. *
