Epic Business, Grainger, HD Supply, Herc Rentals,

(Antonio Banuelos 510-620-6741/ Ofelia Alvarez 510-
620-6699). This item was continued from the October
3, 2023, meeting.

DISCUSSION:

The City has ongoing needs to purchase goods and services for various departments.

Finance staff conducted an analysis and prepared an estimate of the anticipated citywide purchases of a variety of related goods and services, including but not limited materials, equipment, vehicles, and apparatus. These purchases are necessary to ensure the continued delivery of programs and services citywide.

The Finance Director may arrange for the City to enter into an agreement (“Cooperative Purchasing Agreement”) with one or more local, city, county, state, federal or other public entity, other nonprofit association or group consisting of governmental entities, in order to cooperatively purchase supplies and services, including materials, equipment, vehicles and apparatus subject to specific requirements. [Richmond Municipal Code section 2.52.380(a)] The use of Cooperative Purchase Agreements maximizes cost savings and staff resources by sharing contracting and purchasing efforts with other government agencies. Utilizing cooperative purchasing agreements provides an opportunity for the City to obtain lower pricing through volume purchasing. As cooperative agreements reach expiration, they are automatically renewed allowing government agencies to continue to leverage cost savings.

OMNIA is a leading national government purchasing cooperative, providing world-class government procurement resources and solutions to local and state government agencies, school districts (K-12), higher education institutions, and nonprofits looking for the best overall supplier government pricing. OMNIA partners with many governmental agencies to offer cooperative purchasing contracts to other governmental agencies to economically procure services and supplies, pay less for products and services, and reduce administrative costs in developing contracts.

City staff request approval and spending authority to cover the estimated expenditures using Cooperative Purchasing Agreements, and the authority to substitute any of the listed cooperative agreements with the appropriate replacement agreement issued by the same cooperative organization, if that agreement expires during this purchase approval period. The Cooperative Purchasing Agreements and vendors that will be used to procure the related goods and services for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 to FY 2026-27 are listed below:

The recommendations in this report are in accordance with Richmond Municipal Code section 2.52.328, which authorizes the Director of Finance to utilize cooperative purchasing agreements to purchase supplies or services through legal contracts of other governmental jurisdictions or public agencies without separate competitive bidding by the City.

In an ongoing effort to maximize cost savings and staff resources, many government agencies share contracting efforts through cooperative purchasing. This procurement approach increases pricing competitiveness and lowers operating costs through volume purchasing. When comparing the administrative cost of procurement, staff considers 298

October 17, 2023
product research, source selection, specifications, advertising, staff reports, awarding, protest, and administration of the contract. It is often more cost-effective to eliminate the cost and time spent on these administrative processes and purchase items and services through a cooperative purchasing program. The City has used both regional and national cooperative purchasing agreements to complement its own contracting initiatives. Cooperative purchasing enables City departments and the Procurement Division to evaluate a broader range of contracting opportunities and to share resources with other jurisdictions. Cooperative purchasing also leverages internal and external resources to maximize cost savings opportunities for the City.

City staff members request approval to use OMNIA Cooperative Purchasing Agreements with Ari Phoenix, Epic Business, Grainger, HD Supply, Herc Rentals, Kimball Midwest, Ricoh, and The Home Depot in an amount not to exceed $250,000 per year per vendor for FY 2023-24 to FY 2026-27.

Ø Any waiver of any provision of this contract shall be in writing and shall be signed by the duly authorized agent of Region 14 ESC.

(All contracts in excess of $10,000) (C) Equal Employment Opportunity.

In accordance with the statute, contractors must be required to pay wages to laborers and mechanics at a rate not less than the prevailing wages specified in a wage determination made by the Secretary of Labor. In addition, contractors must be required to pay wages not less than once a week. The non-Federal entity must place a copy of the current prevailing wage determination issued by the Department of Labor in each solicitation.

Under 40 U.S.C. 3702 of the Act, each contractor must be required to compute the wages of every mechanic and laborer on the basis of a standard work week of 40 hours.

In addition, the respondent must specify which exception(s) are applicable and provide detailed reasons to substantiate the exception(s).

Ø The determination of whether information is confidential and not subject to disclosure is the duty of the Office of Attorney General (OAG). Region 14 ESC must provide the OAG sufficient information to render an opinion and therefore, vague and general claims to confidentiality by the respondent are not acceptable.

Ø Any waiver of any provision of this contract shall be in writing and shall be signed by the duly authorized agent of Region 14 ESC.

For over 30 years, ARI Phoenix, Inc (d/b/a ARI-HETRA) has been a Customer-focused company specializing in maintenance equipment for heavy-duty vehicles. We support our Customers with a team of skilled and dedicated direct employees as well as select distributors. ARI Phoenix, Inc. was incorporated as an Ohio-based S-corporation in July 2015, acquiring and becoming successor to the business of Automotive Resources, Inc. which itself had been incorporated in 1988. In total, ARI has been serving the HD Truck Maintenance industry proudly for 32 years.

We value employees and customers above all else in the business. ARI-HETRA sells premium products of highest quality for the North American heavy duty vehicle maintenance industry, whether manufactured or distributed, with emphasis on capital goods requiring sophisticated selling and support. As a business model, we operate as a Manufacturer of efficient, lean, well-designed products made to last a lifetime. We are also a Master Distributor, delivering value to all parties by scouring the globe for innovative manufacturers who cannot access our Customers and deliver interesting volumes to those manufacturers as they access our market through us, often on a private-label basis. We partner with loyal local distributors and a direct sales team to develop deep Customer relationships, meeting their unique needs, often with customised products. ARI-HETRA obtains membership in key contracts to simplify the sourcing process for many of our Customers. Finally, we deliver excellent, timely and profitable service via direct employees and partner companies to keep our products running and deliver on the promise of “lowest lifetime cost” for our equipment.

13. What differentiates your company from your competitors? ARI-HETRA provides the only factory authorized sales, service, preventative maintenance, safety inspections, and replacement parts on ARI-HETRA Mobile Column Lifting Systems and ARI-HETRA branded products. For over 30 years, ARI-HETRA continues to be a premium Heavy-Duty brand providing maintenance equipment, and we are leaders in safety, reliability, durability and service.

These Mobile Column Lifting Systems are manufactured in the United States of America. They have also been safety certified by the Automotive Lift Institute (ALI), and by ETL Intertek. While other Mobile Lift Systems use Hydraulic drives, we offer the most advanced Ball-Screw Technology with a certified ARI-HETRA mobile, heavy-duty wheel engaging lift system that will improve the efficiency and safety of automotive maintenance:
a. Precision Ball Screw Lifting Mechanism, with a simple mechanical drive b. Ball screw technology has a 20 year life expectancy, longer than ACME thread c. No possibility of leaking seals like hydraulics used in other Mobile Lift Systems d. Over 100 ball bearings sealed with grease fitting to ensure low friction e. Inherent mechanical column synchronization
f. Precision Height Adjustment (inching)
g. Lifetime performance
ARI-HETRA offers this dependable brand of Mobile Column Lift Systems that give technicians the value of flexible work bays and a comfortable workstation. They allow full, unobstructed access under the vehicle to quickly fulfill routine maintenance inspections and repairs. Mobile Column Lifts have many advantages and drastically improve daily maintenance operations. They are easy to operate, give technicians optimal space for working around the column, and create a safe working environment.

In summary, what differentiates ARI-HETRA from the market includes:
a. 30+ year old ARI-HETRA American-Made Mobile Column Lifts approved by ALI, and NRTL certified ETL Intertek.
b. Heavy-Duty Mobile Column Lift Systems are achieved with a Ball-Screw Design (and not hydraulics, which can lead to leaking seals or cut hoses). 428
c. Products are sold from a direct ARI-HETRA sales and service team to include Wireless, Line Powered, or Battery-Operated Mobile Column Lifts.
d. Mobile Lifts have Safety Braking System and Mechanical Lock-Wedge (no long-step procedure to ensure vehicle is properly locked).
e. Line and Battery-Powered Mobile Column Lifts have built-in safety features which prevent operation if capacity overload is detected.

14. Briefly summarize your company’s Quality control/Quality assurance program.

ARI-HETRA Mobile Column lifts have been rigorously tested and third party certified in accordance with the current revision of ANSI/ALI ALCTV Standard which identifies the safety requirements for construction, testing, and validation of lifts (www.autolift.org). We assure that the equipment is of quality design and construction and fully conforms to specification.

Equipment shall comply with Title 29 of Federal Regulations, Part 1910 and National Safety Standards, all applicable OSHA Standards, and shall have safety devices wherever parts, components are hazardous to the operator and environment. ARI-HETRA products are calibrated and tested independently, and logged by serial number. All parts in assembly of Lifting Systems are uniquely serialized.

15. Provide information regarding whether your firm, either presently or in the past, has been involved in any litigation, bankruptcy, or reorganization.

Not applicable, ARI-HETRA has not been involved in any litigation, bankruptcy or reorganization.

16. Provide evidence of your company’s ability to continuously lower the customer’s costs.

Provide examples of any documented cost reduction results that your company has engaged in with your customers.

ARI-HETRA utilizes process improvement initiatives, engineering change requests, and new product developments to lower cost of production, which in turn lowers cost to customers. We also look for ways to consolidate shipment of orders regularly to improve freight costs to customers. And finally, we have regular 41-point preventative maintenance and safety certifications performed by ARI-HETRA factory trained sales and service technician personnel, resulting in significant savings to our customers.

PRODUCTS:

17. What is the reputation of your company’s products in the public marketplace? ARI-HETRA was one of the first mobile column lifts for sale in what is now a more crowded field, and our installed base of lifts represent a higher proportion. We estimate ARI-HETRA lifts represent approximately 25% of the estimated 100,000 mobile column lifts sold and installed in the U.S. and Canada since that product became commonly used. The vast majority of ARI-HETRA Lifts are still in service and the ARI-HETRA brand has a good reputation due to its longevity.

18. What equipment/system support documents will your company provide? ARI-HETRA provides product equipment warranty and product user manuals. We also offer on-site free training by Regional Sales Managers on all Mobile Column Lift Systems and Wheel Service equipment.

19. Identify the process of receiving a purchase order to the ordering of equipment.

Once a purchase order is issued (to the Regional Sales Manager's email or to [email protected]), it's processed through our headquarters and office location in Lebanon, Ohio by our CSR/Customer Service Team. POs are checked for accuracy (ship to address, 429
equipment configuration, adequate bill to information provided, coding of order to contract, discount, etc.). Any questions are addressed with the customer and an order confirmation is issued via email. Equipment is shipped and then invoiced with the accounting team doing one last check for errors. The equipment is delivered and an ARI-HETRA employee or representative coordinates free on-site safety training (CONUS & Eastern Canada). Automated order reports are generated by contract, are reviewed and payments submitted quarterly. We have a portfolio of government contracts and are experienced in administrative fee processing.

20. Describe your company’s shipping schedule notification procedures.

We have an internal manufacturing production schedule which is continuously updated, so we can provide a customer with an estimated shipping date if required. Most products are currently in production for 90 days or more. Once an item ships, a tracking number is loaded into our order processing system. An email alert is automatically generated and sent with that tracking number URL to the customer.

21. Describe how your company deals with shipping delays. How do you notify your customer of delays?
Due to unforeseen circumstances, there are occasional shipment delays which are communicated directly with customers via email and/or phone. Customers are notified by either the Regional Sales Manager or member of the CSR/Customer Service Team if there are shipment delays. We then give them a new estimated ship date.

22. Provide your shipping schedule reporting form. How many times do you update? Shipping alerts are sent out via email automatically once an item is marked as shipped in our order management system. An email alert goes out to the buyer including a link to the tracking number as soon as we arrange the shipment. The shipping report is continuously updated.

23. How many products do you stock? Where?
ARI-HETRA stocks over 1,650 products/parts in Lebanon, Ohio which is the main stocking location. We also have a parts inventory in the field with our 35 field sales and service teams.

24. What is your percentage of on-time delivery at each manufacturing plant? Percentage is 95%; Equipment ships an average of 45 days, and parts ship an average of 10 days.

25. Describe any direct order entry system or capabilities your organization has such as internet capabilities.

We do not currently have customer ability to direct order from our website.

26. Are all security products UL listed and in compliance with all applicable codes in all states? Not applicable.

27. If your product is defective, what is the replacement process and turnaround? ARI-HETRA offers a full refund on unused equipment less 15% restocking fee plus freight cost, up to 30 days after delivery. If a product is defective, it will be replaced or repaired at the discretion of ARI-HETRA, and warranty includes labor and travel or return and replacement charge.

Customer must call CSR/Customer Service Team at 800-562-3250 to initiate a repair or replacement, at which time it will be determined how long it will take for the repair or replacement to be completed, and if new parts need to be ordered.

28. What is the capability of your company to respond to emergency/rush orders? ARI-HETRA will do its best to respond to rush orders, however, most of our heavy-duty 430
maintenance equipment (Mobile Column Lift Systems) is manufactured after receipt of order and takes 45-90 days days to manufacture. Wheel Service Products come from Europe and may take longer (unless we have a few in stock).

29. State whether your company provides a quality guarantee on your products. If so, please describe.

ARI-HETRA Mobile Column Lifting Systems are manufactured in the United States of America and have been safety certified by the Automotive Lift Institute (ALI), and by ETL Intertek (reference #14). While other Mobile Lift Systems use Hydraulic drives, we offer the most advanced Ball-Screw Technology with a certified ARI-HETRA mobile, heavy-duty wheel engaging lift system that will improve the efficiency and safety of automotive maintenance.

30. Describe your procedures to monitor the quality of your products.

For Mobile Column Lift Systems, ARI-HETRA's production facility works to manufacture and private label ARI-HETRA Lifts in the USA to ALI certification standards (refer to #14).

Parts availability can be obtained from our Customer Service team and in-stock items can be shipped overnight at the customer's request and approval of the shipping fee. In addition, each service technician has a van stocked with all the components (less main beam or carriage) so they can handle service requests directly when they are on customer site. Our sales team all have company vehicles with a smaller inventory of critical components and are able to perform repairs on a more limited scope than a technician.

37. Describe how your company handles after-hours customer service needs indicate your average response time to emergency service calls.

As stated above, ARI-HETRA has a Customer Service Team, Technical Support experts, and Parts experts on hand to take calls from customers who are in need Monday - Friday from 7am-5pm EST.

After hours messages are returned the following business day. In most cases, if there is an emergency, the customer has the mobile number of the Regional Sales Manager to call.

38. Discuss your organization’s capability and historical flexibility in completing timely service calls and problem resolution.

For all of 2020, based on hundreds of customer responses, ARI-HETRA's service net promoter score was 80% (Bain & Co, the source of the NPS system, suggests that above 50 is excellent, and above 80 is world class).

Orders will be placed by the customer service team as soon as possible, and typically within 1-2 business days.

42. Describe how service call problems get escalated in emergency situations during and after hours. Who would be responsible in your company for assessing the appropriate course of action to remedy the problem?
Each of our service technicians are responsible for their open Work Orders and are in communication with each requesting customer so they can prioritize accordingly. If the technicians do not provide the desired response, either the ARI-HETRA Regional Manager or the Service Manager can step in to help escalate. Each week there is a review of open Work Orders to ensure there are no repairs which have gone unanswered or unsolved. This weekly review includes the service dispatch, service manager and department vice president.

43. List the steps taken from start to finish in receiving a service call through to completion of repair and invoicing. Include time frames associated with each step.

1. ) Service calls are answered Monday - Friday from 7am-5pm EST. After hours messages are returned the following business day.

Within 24-48 hours, we can have one of our (14) service technicians to a customer's site if a phone and email service request is not addressed on first contact. Most repairs are done on-site within a few hours, as the service technician carries hundreds of parts on his truck. 2.) If another part is needed, the service technician will have to order it and come back at a later time, depending on how long it will take to have the parts delivered, which is typically less than two weeks. 3. ) If a customer does not use a purchase card while the technician is on-site, our accounting department can invoice within the week.

44. What technology such as GPS tracking does your company use to track completion of repairs?
ARI-HETRA has a dedicated Customer Service Team, who are direct employees who answer customer requests Monday - Friday, 7am - 5pm EST. All requests are answered, recorded and responded to immediately or within 24 business hours. The team is trained on requirements of state/local, education as well as Federal customers, ensuring that questions or issues are addressed in a timely manner. Phone technical support is provided free of charge. If emergency on-site support is needed, our Service Dispatch is in daily contact with service technicians and can see their vehicle locations tracked real-time by GPS transponders to make dispatching quicker by sending the closest technician and estimating a realistic response time. Our GPS tracking system allows a "live track" link to be sent to the customer to monitor exact arrival time.

45. What is the reputation of your company’s service in the public marketplace? ARI-HETRA has an excellent reputation for service and repairs, employing a combined team of over 30 field service technicians and sales representatives. We offer an annual Mobile Column Lift preventative maintenance and safety certification with a 41 point checklist.

46. Identify the process of receiving a purchase order to the providing of a service contract.

Once a purchase order is received, it is then issued and processed through our headquarters and 433

POs are checked for accuracy (ship to address, equipment configuration, adequate bill to information provided, coding of order to contract, discount, etc.). Any questions are addressed with the customer and an order confirmation is issued. Equipment is shipped and then invoiced, with the accounting team doing one last check for errors. The equipment is delivered and an ARI-HETRA employee coordinates free on-site safety training (CONUS & Eastern Canada). The product is covered under warranty, and if service or repair is needed, the customer may call the toll free number for assistance or to set an appointment with a service technician.

ARI-Hetra uses manager reviews of processes to ensure they are functioning at their optimal level.

Feedback from operating team members is encouraged and utilized in changes to processes. Since we are a fairly lean company, agreed upon change tends to happen quickly.

50. Discuss your company’s current computer systems architecture. How does your company’s computer system guarantee customers receive consistent service support, security responsibility verification, and management reporting?
ARI-HETRA utilizes an intelligent cloud based CRM software for product and service quotes which can be converted into orders once a purchase order is received. These orders are updated by the shipping department who schedules the shipment and marks the order as "released to manufacturing," assigning an estimated ship date. When the order ships, the shipment date and tracking number is noted in the system. The manufacturing production schedule is continuously updated with the latest production timing. Once a sales order ships, an automated email alert is 434
sent out to the customer with shipping notification including a tracking URL.

51. What does your company do to ensure bills are received from service centers within a reasonable time frame and issued to government entities for payment? We do not have service centers, as we employ a National team of service technicians who perform service, maintenance and repairs on-site. All invoices are handled by our accounting team at ARI-HETRA headquarters in Lebanon, Ohio unless a customer uses a purchase card on site.

52. Explain how your company qualifies/certifies its service centers and what types of checks are performed to ensure standards are upheld.

Not Applicable as we do not have service centers, but rather service technicians who travel to a customer’s site.

53. Is warranty coverage dependent on using your start-up procedure? No, warranty coverage is not dependent on using our start-up procedure. However, we will not honor warranty claims in cases where the customer has not followed our documented recommended setup procedures.

54. Who performs your start-up procedure?
In cases where it is completed by ARI-HETRA, our factory trained directly employed Regional Sales Managers or Product Managers do the equipment setup and training.

55. Explain how your company would propose a planned unit replacement program including how units would be identified for replacement and how pricing would be addressed.

If a trade-in of Mobile Column Lifts is requested, ARI-HETRA would factor in the cost of trade-in value (after a unit review onsite or via photo/video) and subtract from the cost of new equipment (at contract price). ARI-HETRA would issue an RMA and once the item was returned and found to be in good condition, the replacement item would be shipped. Under our warranty, the return policy states that an item may be returned unused up to 30 days for a full refund less a 15% restocking fee and less return freight cost.

62. What states would your company not honor pricing on services for this contract, in the event that this contract is made available to all states? We would honor pricing in all states.

SAFETY:

63. Describe your company’s safety program during service/repair work.

ARI-HETRA has an Injury and Illness Prevention Program for ARI-Hetra service technicians who perform preventative maintenance and/or service repair work for maintenance equipment onsite at a customer’s location. This program includes responsibility, compliance, communication, hazard assessment, accident/exposure investigations, hazard correction, training/instruction, and record-keeping. Management is responsible for ensuring that all safety and health policies and procedures are clearly communicated and understood by all employees. Supervisors and lead personnel are expected to enforce the rules fairly and uniformly. All employees are responsible for using safe work practices, for following all directives, policies and procedures, and for assisting in maintaining a safe work environment.

64. Describe your company’s safety program during construction.

Not Applicable, as we do not provide construction.

65. Indicate number of lost hours or other benchmarks to verify your company’s effectiveness of their safety record.

ARI-HETRA does not have any recordable lost hours. Our OSHA recordable incident rate and DART rate (lost days/restrictive duties) for this year and the prior (6) years is zero, with no citations or fatalities. Our Workers Compensation Experience Modification Rate (EMR) for the current year is .54, previous year .54, prior two years .53, and prior three years 1.00.

66. What reporting mechanism does your company provide to the customer upon completion of any project?
ARI-HETRA primarily sells a manufactured end product (Mobile Column Lifts or Wheel Service Products) which are shipped and delivered to the end customer, requiring set-up but no installation. Therefore, we do not provide a completion reporting form to the customer. In the case of exhaust products, the Exhaust Product Manager may provide documentation once the exhaust installation is complete. We do issue an electronic notification when items ship and each notification has a feedback survey with the ability to provide ARI with written feedback.

Pursuant to 2 C.F.R. § 200.326, all contracts, including small purchases, awarded by the Participating Agency and the Participating Agency’s subcontractors shall contain the procurement provisions of Appendix II to Part 200, as applicable.

APPENDIX II TO 2 CFR PART 200
(A) Contracts for more than the simplified acquisition threshold currently set at $150,000, which is the inflation adjusted amount determined by the Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) as authorized by 41 U.S.C. 1908, must address administrative, contractual, or legal remedies in instances where contractors violate or breach contract terms, and provide for such sanctions and penalties as appropriate. (B) Termination for cause and for convenience by the grantee or subgrantee including the manner by which it will be effected and the basis for settlement. (All contracts in excess of $10,000) (C) Equal Employment Opportunity. Except as otherwise provided under 41 CFR Part 60, all contracts that meet the definition of “federally assisted construction contract” in 41 CFR Part 60-1.3 must include the equal opportunity clause provided under 41 CFR 60-1.4(b), in accordance with Executive Order 11246, “Equal Employment Opportunity” (30 CFR 12319, 12935, 3 CFR Part, 1964-1965 Comp., p. 339), as amended by Executive Order 11375, “Amending Executive Order 11246 Relating to Equal Employment Opportunity,” and implementing regulations at 41 CFR part 60, “Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, Equal Employment Opportunity, Department of Labor.” Pursuant to Federal Rule (C) above, when a Participating Agency expends federal funds on any federally assisted construction contract, the equal opportunity clause is incorporated by reference herein. (D) Davis-Bacon Act, as amended (40 U.S.C. 3141-3148). When required by Federal program legislation, all prime construction contracts in excess of $2,000 awarded by non-Federal entities must include a provision for compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 3141-3144, and 3146-3148) as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 5, “Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Covering Federally Financed and Assisted Construction”). In accordance with the statute, contractors must be required to pay wages to laborers and mechanics at a rate not less than the prevailing wages specified in a wage determination made by the Secretary of Labor. In addition, contractors must be required to pay wages not less than once a week. The non-Federal entity must place a copy of the current prevailing wage determination issued by the Department of Labor in each solicitation. The decision to award a contract or subcontract must be conditioned upon the acceptance of the wage determination. The non- Federal entity must report all suspected or reported violations to the Federal awarding agency. The contracts must also include a provision 508
for compliance with the Copeland “Anti-Kickback” Act (40 U.S.C. 3145), as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 3, “Contractors and Subcontractors on Public Building or Public Work Financed in Whole or in Part by Loans or Grants from the United States”). The Act provides that each contractor or subrecipient must be prohibited from inducing, by any means, any person employed in the construction, completion, or repair of public work, to give up any part of the compensation to which he or she is otherwise entitled. The non-Federal entity must report all suspected or reported violations to the Federal awarding agency. (E) Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 3701-3708). Where applicable, all contracts awarded by the non-Federal entity in excess of $100,000 that involve the employment of mechanics or laborers must include a provision for compliance with 40 U.S.C. 3702 and 3704, as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 5).

Under 40 U.S.C. 3702 of the Act, each contractor must be required to compute the wages of every mechanic and laborer on the basis of a standard work week of 40 hours. Work in excess of the standard work week is permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of not less than one and a half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in the work week. The requirements of 40 U.S.C. 3704 are applicable to construction work and provide that no laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous. These requirements do not apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence. (F) Rights to Inventions Made Under a Contract or Agreement. If the Federal award meets the definition of “funding agreement” under 37 CFR §401.2 (a) and the recipient or subrecipient wishes to enter into a contract with a small business firm or nonprofit organization regarding the substitution of parties, assignment or performance of experimental, developmental, or research work under that “funding agreement,” the recipient or subrecipient must comply with the requirements of 37 CFR Part 401, “Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants, Contracts and Cooperative Agreements,” and any implementing regulations issued by the awarding agency.
(G) Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q.) and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1251-1387), as amended— Contracts and subgrants of amounts in excess of $150,000 must contain a provision that requires the nonFederal award to agree to comply with all applicable standards, orders or regulations issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401- 7671q) and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act as amended (33 U.S.C. 1251- 1387). Violations must be reported to the Federal awarding agency and the Regional Office of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). (H) Debarment and Suspension (Executive Orders 12549 and 12689)—A contract award (see 2 CFR 180.220) must not be made to parties listed on the government wide exclusions in the System for Award Management (SAM), in accordance with the OMB guidelines at 2 CFR 180 that implement Executive Orders 12549 (3 CFR part 1986 Comp., p. 189) and 12689 (3 CFR part 1989 Comp., p. 235), “Debarment and Suspension.” SAM Exclusions contains the names of parties debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded by agencies, as well as parties declared ineligible under statutory or regulatory authority other than Executive Order 12549.
(I) Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment (31 U.S.C. 1352)—Contractors that apply or bid for an award exceeding $100,000 must file the required certification. Each tier certifies to the tier above that it will not and has not used Federal appropriated funds to pay any person or organization for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee 509
of any agency, a member of Congress, officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a member of Congress in connection with obtaining any Federal contract, grant or any other award covered by 31 U.S.C. 1352. Each tier must also disclose any lobbying with non-Federal funds that takes place in connection with obtaining any Federal award.

DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS PARTICIPATION
This Contract is subject to the requirements of Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 26, “Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs”, therefore, it is the policy of the Department of Transportation (DOT) to ensure that Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs), as defined in 49 CFR Part 26, have an equal opportunity to receive and participate in the performance of DOT-assisted contracts. 1) Non-Discrimination Assurances. Contractor or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this Contract. Contractor shall carry out all applicablerequirements of 49 CFR Part 26 in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts.

Each subcontract Contractor signs with a subcontractor must include the assurance in this paragraph. (See 49 CFR 26.13(b)). 512
2) Prompt Payment. Contractor is required to pay each subcontractor performing Work under this prime Contract for satisfactory performance of that work no later than thirty (30) days after Contractor’s receipt of payment for that Work from public agency.

Ø Any waiver of any provision of this contract shall be in writing and shall be signed by the duly authorized agent of Region 14 ESC.

For over 30 years, ARI Phoenix, Inc (d/b/a ARI-HETRA) has been a Customer-focused company specializing in maintenance equipment for heavy-duty vehicles. We support our Customers with a team of skilled and dedicated direct employees as well as select distributors. ARI Phoenix, Inc. was incorporated as an Ohio-based S-corporation in July 2015, acquiring and becoming successor to the business of Automotive Resources, Inc. which itself had been incorporated in 1988. In total, ARI has been serving the HD Truck Maintenance industry proudly for 32 years.

We value employees and customers above all else in the business. ARI-HETRA sells premium products of highest quality for the North American heavy duty vehicle maintenance industry, whether manufactured or distributed, with emphasis on capital goods requiring sophisticated selling and support. As a business model, we operate as a Manufacturer of efficient, lean, well-designed products made to last a lifetime. We are also a Master Distributor, delivering value to all parties by scouring the globe for innovative manufacturers who cannot access our Customers and deliver interesting volumes to those manufacturers as they access our market through us, often on a private-label basis. We partner with loyal local distributors and a direct sales team to develop deep Customer relationships, meeting their unique needs, often with customised products. ARI-HETRA obtains membership in key contracts to simplify the sourcing process for many of our Customers. Finally, we deliver excellent, timely and profitable service via direct employees and partner companies to keep our products running and deliver on the promise of “lowest lifetime cost” for our equipment.

13. What differentiates your company from your competitors? ARI-HETRA provides the only factory authorized sales, service, preventative maintenance, safety inspections, and replacement parts on ARI-HETRA Mobile Column Lifting Systems and ARI-HETRA branded products. For over 30 years, ARI-HETRA continues to be a premium Heavy-Duty brand providing maintenance equipment, and we are leaders in safety, reliability, durability and service.

These Mobile Column Lifting Systems are manufactured in the United States of America. They have also been safety certified by the Automotive Lift Institute (ALI), and by ETL Intertek. While other Mobile Lift Systems use Hydraulic drives, we offer the most advanced Ball-Screw Technology with a certified ARI-HETRA mobile, heavy-duty wheel engaging lift system that will improve the efficiency and safety of automotive maintenance:
a. Precision Ball Screw Lifting Mechanism, with a simple mechanical drive b. Ball screw technology has a 20 year life expectancy, longer than ACME thread c. No possibility of leaking seals like hydraulics used in other Mobile Lift Systems d. Over 100 ball bearings sealed with grease fitting to ensure low friction e. Inherent mechanical column synchronization
f. Precision Height Adjustment (inching)
g. Lifetime performance
ARI-HETRA offers this dependable brand of Mobile Column Lift Systems that give technicians the value of flexible work bays and a comfortable workstation. They allow full, unobstructed access under the vehicle to quickly fulfill routine maintenance inspections and repairs. Mobile Column Lifts have many advantages and drastically improve daily maintenance operations. They are easy to operate, give technicians optimal space for working around the column, and create a safe working environment.

In summary, what differentiates ARI-HETRA from the market includes:
a. 30+ year old ARI-HETRA American-Made Mobile Column Lifts approved by ALI, and NRTL certified ETL Intertek.
b. Heavy-Duty Mobile Column Lift Systems are achieved with a Ball-Screw Design (and not hydraulics, which can lead to leaking seals or cut hoses). 534
c. Products are sold from a direct ARI-HETRA sales and service team to include Wireless, Line Powered, or Battery-Operated Mobile Column Lifts.
d. Mobile Lifts have Safety Braking System and Mechanical Lock-Wedge (no long-step procedure to ensure vehicle is properly locked).
e. Line and Battery-Powered Mobile Column Lifts have built-in safety features which prevent operation if capacity overload is detected.

14. Briefly summarize your company’s Quality control/Quality assurance program.

ARI-HETRA Mobile Column lifts have been rigorously tested and third party certified in accordance with the current revision of ANSI/ALI ALCTV Standard which identifies the safety requirements for construction, testing, and validation of lifts (www.autolift.org). We assure that the equipment is of quality design and construction and fully conforms to specification.

Equipment shall comply with Title 29 of Federal Regulations, Part 1910 and National Safety Standards, all applicable OSHA Standards, and shall have safety devices wherever parts, components are hazardous to the operator and environment. ARI-HETRA products are calibrated and tested independently, and logged by serial number. All parts in assembly of Lifting Systems are uniquely serialized.

15. Provide information regarding whether your firm, either presently or in the past, has been involved in any litigation, bankruptcy, or reorganization.

Not applicable, ARI-HETRA has not been involved in any litigation, bankruptcy or reorganization.

16. Provide evidence of your company’s ability to continuously lower the customer’s costs.

Provide examples of any documented cost reduction results that your company has engaged in with your customers.

ARI-HETRA utilizes process improvement initiatives, engineering change requests, and new product developments to lower cost of production, which in turn lowers cost to customers. We also look for ways to consolidate shipment of orders regularly to improve freight costs to customers. And finally, we have regular 41-point preventative maintenance and safety certifications performed by ARI-HETRA factory trained sales and service technician personnel, resulting in significant savings to our customers.

PRODUCTS:

17. What is the reputation of your company’s products in the public marketplace? ARI-HETRA was one of the first mobile column lifts for sale in what is now a more crowded field, and our installed base of lifts represent a higher proportion. We estimate ARI-HETRA lifts represent approximately 25% of the estimated 100,000 mobile column lifts sold and installed in the U.S. and Canada since that product became commonly used. The vast majority of ARI-HETRA Lifts are still in service and the ARI-HETRA brand has a good reputation due to its longevity.

18. What equipment/system support documents will your company provide? ARI-HETRA provides product equipment warranty and product user manuals. We also offer on-site free training by Regional Sales Managers on all Mobile Column Lift Systems and Wheel Service equipment.

19. Identify the process of receiving a purchase order to the ordering of equipment.

Once a purchase order is issued (to the Regional Sales Manager's email or to [email protected]), it's processed through our headquarters and office location in Lebanon, Ohio by our CSR/Customer Service Team. POs are checked for accuracy (ship to address, 535
equipment configuration, adequate bill to information provided, coding of order to contract, discount, etc.). Any questions are addressed with the customer and an order confirmation is issued via email. Equipment is shipped and then invoiced with the accounting team doing one last check for errors. The equipment is delivered and an ARI-HETRA employee or representative coordinates free on-site safety training (CONUS & Eastern Canada). Automated order reports are generated by contract, are reviewed and payments submitted quarterly. We have a portfolio of government contracts and are experienced in administrative fee processing.

20. Describe your company’s shipping schedule notification procedures.

We have an internal manufacturing production schedule which is continuously updated, so we can provide a customer with an estimated shipping date if required. Most products are currently in production for 90 days or more. Once an item ships, a tracking number is loaded into our order processing system. An email alert is automatically generated and sent with that tracking number URL to the customer.

21. Describe how your company deals with shipping delays. How do you notify your customer of delays?
Due to unforeseen circumstances, there are occasional shipment delays which are communicated directly with customers via email and/or phone. Customers are notified by either the Regional Sales Manager or member of the CSR/Customer Service Team if there are shipment delays. We then give them a new estimated ship date.

22. Provide your shipping schedule reporting form. How many times do you update? Shipping alerts are sent out via email automatically once an item is marked as shipped in our order management system. An email alert goes out to the buyer including a link to the tracking number as soon as we arrange the shipment. The shipping report is continuously updated.

23. How many products do you stock? Where?
ARI-HETRA stocks over 1,650 products/parts in Lebanon, Ohio which is the main stocking location. We also have a parts inventory in the field with our 35 field sales and service teams.

ARI-HETRA offers a full refund on unused equipment less 15% restocking fee plus freight cost, up to 30 days after delivery. If a product is defective, it will be replaced or repaired at the discretion of ARI-HETRA, and warranty includes labor and travel or return and replacement charge.

Customer must call CSR/Customer Service Team at 800-562-3250 to initiate a repair or replacement, at which time it will be determined how long it will take for the repair or replacement to be completed, and if new parts need to be ordered.

28. What is the capability of your company to respond to emergency/rush orders? ARI-HETRA will do its best to respond to rush orders, however, most of our heavy-duty 536
maintenance equipment (Mobile Column Lift Systems) is manufactured after receipt of order and takes 45-90 days days to manufacture. Wheel Service Products come from Europe and may take longer (unless we have a few in stock).

29. State whether your company provides a quality guarantee on your products. If so, please describe.

ARI-HETRA Mobile Column Lifting Systems are manufactured in the United States of America and have been safety certified by the Automotive Lift Institute (ALI), and by ETL Intertek (reference #14). While other Mobile Lift Systems use Hydraulic drives, we offer the most advanced Ball-Screw Technology with a certified ARI-HETRA mobile, heavy-duty wheel engaging lift system that will improve the efficiency and safety of automotive maintenance.

30. Describe your procedures to monitor the quality of your products.

For Mobile Column Lift Systems, ARI-HETRA's production facility works to manufacture and private label ARI-HETRA Lifts in the USA to ALI certification standards (refer to #14). In regards to service activity, it's coordinated throughout headquarters allowing us to maintain tight control on quality, including metrics like net promoter scores for each individual who performs service on ARI-HETRA equipment. ARI-HETRA is also a master distributor for a variety of other manufacturers of high quality products only, manufactured predominately in Europe. In most cases, ARI-HETRA sells these products on a private-labeled basis under the recognizable bright green “ARI-HETRA” brand, sometimes with territorial exclusivity for U.S./Canada.

31. Do you offer extended parts and labor warranties? If yes, state length of warranty.

We do not offer extended parts and labor warranties.

32. Please give examples of state and local agencies where your company has extended labor warranties. Include length of these warranties.

Warranted parts or components will be replaced or repaired at the discretion of ARI-HETRA and parts replaced under the warranty period carry the remaining balance of the original manufacturer’s warranty. Replacement parts or repairs performed outside the warranty period carry a 60 day replacement warranty. Warranty includes labor and travel or return and replacement charge. ARI-HETRA offers a full refund on unused equipment less 15% restocking fee plus freight cost, up to 30 days after delivery. Full warranty details are attached at the end of tab 5.

34. How does your company track warranties and update equipment lists/warranty periods as units or components are replaced?
ARI-HETRA equipment each has unique serial numbers. We use these numbers as reference for any warranty replacement work, and track the warranty issues in our order management and after-sales service system. In cases of repair work, any warranty work or parts are recorded on their own "Work Orders" and reference the serial number of the product repaired.

35. What states would your company not honor pricing on your supplied equipment for this contract, in the event that this contract is made available to all states? We would honor the same pricing for all states.

Each of our service technicians are responsible for their open Work Orders and are in communication with each requesting customer so they can prioritize accordingly. If the technicians do not provide the desired response, either the ARI-HETRA Regional Manager or the Service Manager can step in to help escalate. Each week there is a review of open Work Orders to ensure there are no repairs which have gone unanswered or unsolved. This weekly review includes the service dispatch, service manager and department vice president.

43. List the steps taken from start to finish in receiving a service call through to completion of repair and invoicing. Include time frames associated with each step.

1. ) Service calls are answered Monday - Friday from 7am-5pm EST. After hours messages are returned the following business day.

Within 24-48 hours, we can have one of our (14) service technicians to a customer's site if a phone and email service request is not addressed on first contact. Most repairs are done on-site within a few hours, as the service technician carries hundreds of parts on his truck. 2.) If another part is needed, the service technician will have to order it and come back at a later time, depending on how long it will take to have the parts delivered, which is typically less than two weeks. 3. ) If a customer does not use a purchase card while the technician is on-site, our accounting department can invoice within the week.

44. What technology such as GPS tracking does your company use to track completion of repairs?
ARI-HETRA has a dedicated Customer Service Team, who are direct employees who answer customer requests Monday - Friday, 7am - 5pm EST. All requests are answered, recorded and responded to immediately or within 24 business hours. The team is trained on requirements of state/local, education as well as Federal customers, ensuring that questions or issues are addressed in a timely manner. Phone technical support is provided free of charge. If emergency on-site support is needed, our Service Dispatch is in daily contact with service technicians and can see their vehicle locations tracked real-time by GPS transponders to make dispatching quicker by sending the closest technician and estimating a realistic response time. Our GPS tracking system allows a "live track" link to be sent to the customer to monitor exact arrival time.

45. What is the reputation of your company’s service in the public marketplace? ARI-HETRA has an excellent reputation for service and repairs, employing a combined team of over 30 field service technicians and sales representatives. We offer an annual Mobile Column Lift preventative maintenance and safety certification with a 41 point checklist.

Once a purchase order is received, it is then issued and processed through our headquarters and 539
office location in Ohio by our Customer Service Team. POs are checked for accuracy (ship to address, equipment configuration, adequate bill to information provided, coding of order to contract, discount, etc.). Any questions are addressed with the customer and an order confirmation is issued. Equipment is shipped and then invoiced, with the accounting team doing one last check for errors. The equipment is delivered and an ARI-HETRA employee coordinates free on-site safety training (CONUS & Eastern Canada). The product is covered under warranty, and if service or repair is needed, the customer may call the toll free number for assistance or to set an appointment with a service technician. ARI-HETRA does offer an annual PM/preventative maintenance safety inspection on all Mobile Column Lift Systems (for a designated fee for 2, 4, or 6 post systems).

47. Describe your company’s startup and system checkout responsibilities.

Not Applicable.

49. Describe your company’s steps for system analysis.

ARI-Hetra uses manager reviews of processes to ensure they are functioning at their optimal level.

Feedback from operating team members is encouraged and utilized in changes to processes. Since we are a fairly lean company, agreed upon change tends to happen quickly.

50. Discuss your company’s current computer systems architecture. How does your company’s computer system guarantee customers receive consistent service support, security responsibility verification, and management reporting?
ARI-HETRA utilizes an intelligent cloud based CRM software for product and service quotes which can be converted into orders once a purchase order is received. These orders are updated by the shipping department who schedules the shipment and marks the order as "released to manufacturing," assigning an estimated ship date. When the order ships, the shipment date and tracking number is noted in the system. The manufacturing production schedule is continuously updated with the latest production timing. Once a sales order ships, an automated email alert is 540
sent out to the customer with shipping notification including a tracking URL.

51. What does your company do to ensure bills are received from service centers within a reasonable time frame and issued to government entities for payment? We do not have service centers, as we employ a National team of service technicians who perform service, maintenance and repairs on-site. All invoices are handled by our accounting team at ARI-HETRA headquarters in Lebanon, Ohio unless a customer uses a purchase card on site.

52. Explain how your company qualifies/certifies its service centers and what types of checks are performed to ensure standards are upheld.

Not Applicable as we do not have service centers, but rather service technicians who travel to a customer’s site.

53. Is warranty coverage dependent on using your start-up procedure? No, warranty coverage is not dependent on using our start-up procedure. However, we will not honor warranty claims in cases where the customer has not followed our documented recommended setup procedures.

54. Who performs your start-up procedure?
In cases where it is completed by ARI-HETRA, our factory trained directly employed Regional Sales Managers or Product Managers do the equipment setup and training.

55. Explain how your company would propose a planned unit replacement program including how units would be identified for replacement and how pricing would be addressed.

If a trade-in of Mobile Column Lifts is requested, ARI-HETRA would factor in the cost of trade-in value (after a unit review onsite or via photo/video) and subtract from the cost of new equipment (at contract price). ARI-HETRA would issue an RMA and once the item was returned and found to be in good condition, the replacement item would be shipped. Under our warranty, the return policy states that an item may be returned unused up to 30 days for a full refund less a 15% restocking fee and less return freight cost.

56. Describe what project scheduling tools your company uses to track projects during construction.

SAFETY:

63. Describe your company’s safety program during service/repair work.

ARI-HETRA has an Injury and Illness Prevention Program for ARI-Hetra service technicians who perform preventative maintenance and/or service repair work for maintenance equipment onsite at a customer’s location. This program includes responsibility, compliance, communication, hazard assessment, accident/exposure investigations, hazard correction, training/instruction, and record-keeping. Management is responsible for ensuring that all safety and health policies and procedures are clearly communicated and understood by all employees. Supervisors and lead personnel are expected to enforce the rules fairly and uniformly. All employees are responsible for using safe work practices, for following all directives, policies and procedures, and for assisting in maintaining a safe work environment.

64. Describe your company’s safety program during construction.

Not Applicable, as we do not provide construction.

65. Indicate number of lost hours or other benchmarks to verify your company’s effectiveness of their safety record.

ARI-HETRA does not have any recordable lost hours.

78.Green Initiatives
As our business grows, we want to make sure we minimize our impact on the Earth’s climate.

To that effort we ask respondents to provide their companies environmental policy and/or green initiative.

ARI-HETRA’s wireless and battery mobile column lifts are engineered to be environmentally friendly by providing energy savings. ARI-HETRA mobile column lifts offer its users Regenerative Power - ARI-HETRA’s ball screw design minimizes the energy needed to raise a vehicle (as compared to a hydraulic lift system). This same design provides for the generation of incremental power/current for the lifting system, resulting from the force exerted during the process of lowering a raised vehicle on a lift. The additional power is ultimately returned to batteries for storage by use of a reversing electric motor/ generator.

Participating Agencies may elect to use federal funds to purchase under the Master Agreement. The following certifications and provisions may be required and apply when a Participating Agency expends federal funds for any purchase resulting from this procurement process. Pursuant to 2 C.F.R. § 200.326, all contracts, including small purchases, awarded by the Participating Agency and the Participating Agency’s subcontractors shall contain the procurement provisions of Appendix II to Part 200, as applicable.

APPENDIX II TO 2 CFR PART 200
(A) Contracts for more than the simplified acquisition threshold currently set at $150,000, which is the inflation adjusted amount determined by the Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) as authorized by 41 U.S.C. 1908, must address administrative, contractual, or legal remedies in instances where contractors violate or breach contract terms, and provide for such sanctions and penalties as appropriate. (B) Termination for cause and for convenience by the grantee or subgrantee including the manner by which it will be effected and the basis for settlement. (All contracts in excess of $10,000) (C) Equal Employment Opportunity. Except as otherwise provided under 41 CFR Part 60, all contracts that meet the definition of “federally assisted construction contract” in 41 CFR Part 60-1.3 must include the equal opportunity clause provided under 41 CFR 60-1.4(b), in accordance with Executive Order 11246, “Equal Employment Opportunity” (30 CFR 12319, 12935, 3 CFR Part, 1964-1965 Comp., p. 339), as amended by Executive Order 11375, “Amending Executive Order 11246 Relating to Equal Employment Opportunity,” and implementing regulations at 41 CFR part 60, “Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, Equal Employment Opportunity, Department of Labor.” Pursuant to Federal Rule (C) above, when a Participating Agency expends federal funds on any federally assisted construction contract, the equal opportunity clause is incorporated by reference herein. (D) Davis-Bacon Act, as amended (40 U.S.C. 3141-3148). When required by Federal program legislation, all prime construction contracts in excess of $2,000 awarded by non-Federal entities must include a provision for compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 3141-3144, and 3146-3148) as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 5, “Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Covering Federally Financed and Assisted Construction”). In accordance with the statute, contractors must be required to pay wages to laborers and mechanics at a rate not less than the prevailing wages specified in a wage determination made by the Secretary of Labor. In addition, contractors must be required to pay wages not less than once a week. The non-Federal entity must place a copy of the current prevailing wage determination issued by the Department of Labor in each solicitation. The decision to award a contract or subcontract must be conditioned upon the acceptance of the wage determination. The non- Federal entity must report all suspected or reported violations to the Federal awarding agency. The contracts must also include a provision 614
for compliance with the Copeland “Anti-Kickback” Act (40 U.S.C. 3145), as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 3, “Contractors and Subcontractors on Public Building or Public Work Financed in Whole or in Part by Loans or Grants from the United States”). The Act provides that each contractor or subrecipient must be prohibited from inducing, by any means, any person employed in the construction, completion, or repair of public work, to give up any part of the compensation to which he or she is otherwise entitled. The non-Federal entity must report all suspected or reported violations to the Federal awarding agency. (E) Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 3701-3708). Where applicable, all contracts awarded by the non-Federal entity in excess of $100,000 that involve the employment of mechanics or laborers must include a provision for compliance with 40 U.S.C. 3702 and 3704, as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 5).

Under 40 U.S.C. 3702 of the Act, each contractor must be required to compute the wages of every mechanic and laborer on the basis of a standard work week of 40 hours. Work in excess of the standard work week is permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of not less than one and a half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in the work week. The requirements of 40 U.S.C. 3704 are applicable to construction work and provide that no laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous. These requirements do not apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence. (F) Rights to Inventions Made Under a Contract or Agreement. If the Federal award meets the definition of “funding agreement” under 37 CFR §401.2 (a) and the recipient or subrecipient wishes to enter into a contract with a small business firm or nonprofit organization regarding the substitution of parties, assignment or performance of experimental, developmental, or research work under that “funding agreement,” the recipient or subrecipient must comply with the requirements of 37 CFR Part 401, “Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants, Contracts and Cooperative Agreements,” and any implementing regulations issued by the awarding agency.
(G) Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q.) and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1251-1387), as amended— Contracts and subgrants of amounts in excess of $150,000 must contain a provision that requires the nonFederal award to agree to comply with all applicable standards, orders or regulations issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401- 7671q) and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act as amended (33 U.S.C. 1251- 1387). Violations must be reported to the Federal awarding agency and the Regional Office of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). (H) Debarment and Suspension (Executive Orders 12549 and 12689)—A contract award (see 2 CFR 180.220) must not be made to parties listed on the government wide exclusions in the System for Award Management (SAM), in accordance with the OMB guidelines at 2 CFR 180 that implement Executive Orders 12549 (3 CFR part 1986 Comp., p. 189) and 12689 (3 CFR part 1989 Comp., p. 235), “Debarment and Suspension.” SAM Exclusions contains the names of parties debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded by agencies, as well as parties declared ineligible under statutory or regulatory authority other than Executive Order 12549.
(I) Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment (31 U.S.C. 1352)—Contractors that apply or bid for an award exceeding $100,000 must file the required certification. Each tier certifies to the tier above that it will not and has not used Federal appropriated funds to pay any person or organization for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee 615
of any agency, a member of Congress, officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a member of Congress in connection with obtaining any Federal contract, grant or any other award covered by 31 U.S.C. 1352. Each tier must also disclose any lobbying with non-Federal funds that takes place in connection with obtaining any Federal award. Such disclosures are forwarded from tier to tier up to the non-Federal award.

RECORD RETENTION REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTRACTS INVOLVING FEDERAL FUNDS When federal funds are expended by Participating Agency for any contract resulting from this procurement process, offeror certifies that it will comply with the record retention requirements detailed in 2 CFR § 200.333. The offeror further certifies that offeror will retain all records as required by 2 CFR § 200.333 for a period of three years after grantees or subgrantees submit final expenditure reports or quarterly or annual financial reports, as applicable, and all other pending matters are closed.

Part 18).

CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH BUY AMERICA PROVISIONS To the extent purchases are made with Federal Highway Administration, Federal Railroad Administration, or Federal Transit Administration funds, offeror certifies that its products comply with all applicable provisions of the Buy America Act and agrees to provide such certification or applicable waiver with respect to specific products to any Participating Agency upon request. Purchases made in accordance with the Buy America Act must still follow the applicable procurement rules calling for free and open competition. 616

PUBLIC NOTICE

LEGAL NOTICE
Even as Major League Baseball contends with stultifying games, offensive ineptitude and a looming reckoning with pitchers’ use of banned substances, its gaggle of young stars often find a way to paper over the game’s
warts.

The first batch of fan voting for the
July 13 All-Star Game certainly reflects
that.

Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero
– likely the American League MVP
front-runner – received more votes
than any other player in balloting returns announced Monday. Guerrero, the 22-year-old son of a Hall of Famer,
tops the entire American League slash
line, ranking first in batting average
(.344), on-base percentage (.450) and
slugging (.688), for a major leaguebest OPS of 1.137. He also leads the majors with 21 home runs and 55 RBI and has received nearly 858,000 votes in
early All-Star balloting.

Meanwhile, fans have an avenue to
vote two-way star Shohei Ohtani into
the game – he’s the leading vote-getter
at designated hitter; he’s slugged 17
home runs with a .961 OPS and has nine
stolen bases.
(For good measure, he’s also struck
out 68 batters in 47 1

In the National League, Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr.’s 804,000 votes lead the pack and ensure he’ll receive
his second career All-Star nod.

This year, Fernando Tatis Jr. should
join him.

The wildly talented Padre with the

the NL with 19 home runs and a .654

MLB USA TODAY SPORTS’ POWER RANKINGS
panacea to all the offensive woes in the
game, but the threat of the crackdown
has already had a huge impact.

Spin rates drop, batting averages
up
In the 11 days since MLB owners were
told that the league was going to strictly
enforce the ban of foreign substances,
the spin rate (2,290 on fastballs), strikeout rate (23.4%) and walk rate (8.4%) are the lowest of any month this season.

The leaguewide batting averages,
home runs, slugging and OPS (on-baseplus-slugging percentage) is the highest of any month. Hitters are batting .247
this month – compared to .232 and .239
the first two months – with a .318 onbase percentage, .419 slugging percentage and .737 OPS. The home run rate has soared from 12.7% to 14.7%.

Pitchers’ average spin rate last week
was the lowest this season. More than
two-thirds of pitchers (67.2%) have had
a reduced spin rate since June 3, including 37 pitchers by at least 100 rpm, according to theScore.com.

The argument by pitchers that they
need sticky substances to improve their
grip to avoid hitting batters also lost
considerable merit with walks decreasing from 9% to 8.4% with hit-by-pitches remaining flat at 1.2% per plate appearance.

There have been several noticeable
decreases in spin rates in recent weeks,
involving everyone from Trevor Bauer
and Kenley Jansen of the Dodgers to
Gerrit Cole of the Yankees to closers
James Karinchak of Cleveland and Josh
Hader of the Brewers.

The Red Sox pitching staff, coincidence or not, has badly struggled since owners were informed the league would
begin its crackdown. The Red Sox have
yielded a 9.23 ERA and 66 hits over 39
innings in the past nine games. The Red
Sox deny any cheating. According to
Statcast, four of their starters have had
a reduction in spin rates.
“These guys are getting an extra 400,
500 rpms on their spin rate,” Nationals
first baseman Ryan Zimmerman told
the Sports Junkies on 106.7-FM in
Washington, D.C., last week, “which is
basically taking a very mediocre pitcher
who could be in the big leagues but
might not be in the big leagues and propelling them to a level that is elite. “Whether it is all their pitches, one
pitch or whatever it is. To me, that’s
cheating. I can’t do that with anything in
the batter’s box. I think that’s where the
problem lies.”
Bauer, who signed a three-year,
$102 million contract, has drawn the
most scrutiny. The spin rate on his fourseam fastball has increased by 550 rpm the last four seasons, and he leads all
pitchers with his 2,822 fastball spin rate
this season. His four-seam spin rate was
2,277 rpm in 2017 and has risen each
year. Yet in his last two starts, his spin
rate dropped by an average by 200 rpm.

Bauer is the one who called attention
to pitchers cheating in 2018, pointing
out the Astros’ dramatically increased
spin rate, and says he’s all for the enforcement, as long as everyone is treated equally. “That’s been the whole point this entire time,” Bauer said. “Let everyone compete on a fair playing field. So if you’re going to enforce it, enforce it. And
if you’re not, then stop sweeping it under the rug, which is what they’ve done for four years now. … It would be nice as
players to know what rules we’re competing by and what rules are going to be enforced. As everyone knows, a rule
that’s written down that’s never enforced is not a rule.” MLB tried to issue warnings before
the start of the season, letting teams
know it would routinely confiscate
baseballs from pitchers, and track the
difference in their spin rates. Managers
were encouraged to freely ask umpires
to check opposing pitchers if they were
suspicious of illegal substances. Yet
with managers knowing their own guys
were cheating, too, no one had the courage to ask.

The warnings clearly weren’t working as the average spin rate for sliders increased by 353 rpm, curveballs 252
rpm and cut-fastballs 208 rpm since
2015, according to Statcast. The soaring
increases don’t happen unless your velocity suddenly soars or you’re cheating.

Soon the cheating should come to an
end, with Rule 6.02 (c) enforced by every umpire in the game and applied to every pitcher who takes the mound.

Baseball’s dirty little secret, as Cardinals manager Mike Shildt called it, will finally be exposed.

You want to take a chance on being
caught?
Feel free.

But don’t come crying when you are
publicly humiliated and booed everywhere you go on the road.

The warnings have been loud and
clear. Now, it’s time for action.

Who knows? Maybe we’ll actually
start to see a return of offense in the
game, too.
“I actually think it’s a good thing because one of the things we’ve been fighting is the non-action in our game,”
Phillies manager Joe Girardi said. “I
think this could change things. I really
do. It will be interesting.”
Gentlemen, start your checkpoints.

FOR THE RECORD
Team LW Comments by Jesse Yomtov

1. Houston Astros 8 Seven-game win streak coincides with Framber Valdez’s return to ace status.

2. San Francisco Giants 2 Bulletproof? They’ve won nine of 14 since Evan Longoria’s injury.

3. Los Angeles Dodgers 4 Buckle up: Next nine games against Padres, Cubs, Giants.

4. Tampa Bay Rays 1 Ace Tyler Glasnow lost to elbow injury, team suffers four walk-off losses, summons Wander Franco. Sheesh.

5. Chicago White Sox 3 Just 17-23 against teams with winning records.

6. Boston Red Sox 5 Christian Arroyo (105 adjusted OPS) providing steady production expected of Kike Hernandez (79).

7. Oakland Athletics 6 Now in dead heat with Astros after losing Yankee Stadium series they could’ve swept.

8. San Diego Padres 7 Hard not to wince every time Fernando Tatis Jr. dives on his shoulder.

9. Chicago Cubs T-9 Went a week without scoring a run via the non-home run.

10. Cleveland 12 Remember 20-game winners? Aaron Civale well on pace to hit that mark.

11. New York Mets 11 Francisco Lindor’s OPS creeping toward .700 for first time as a Met.

12. Milwaukee Brewers T-9 Josh Hader’s ERA, FIP and homers given up all begin with 0.-something.

13. New York Yankees 14 Run differential of zero sums up season of dramatic turns adding up to A Pretty OK Team.

14. Toronto Blue Jays 13 In removing his pal Freddy Galvis from scrum, Vlad Guerrero Jr. makes case for MVB (Most Valuable Bouncer).

15. Philadelphia Phillies 15 In an era of five-inning pitchers, Zack Wheeler averaging seven dominant innings a start.

16. Cincinnati Reds 17 Get hype for that Jesse Winker-Nick Castellanos MVP battle.

17. Atlanta Braves 18 Four games with the Mets may set the tone for summer.

18. Los Angeles Angels 20 There’s not a vibe the Angels bullpen couldn’t kill.

19. Washington Nationals 23 Kyle Schwarber, Jon Lester sending waves of regret to Wrigley Field.

20. St. Louis Cardinals 16 Treading water at .500 until Jack Flaherty returns wouldn’t be the worst outcome.

21. Seattle Mariners 22 Swept the Rays, which is only fair after losing every trade to them.

22. Miami Marlins 21 Jesus Sanchez latest outfielder hoping to stick for good.

23. Kansas City Royals 19 Bobby Witt Jr. on an 11-for-22 run at Class AA, pushing average to .280.

24. Minnesota Twins 24 Byron Buxton and Kenta Maeda are healthy and productive – but is it too late?

25. Detroit Tigers 25 Here come the arms: Matt Manning’s steady debut fuels enthusiasm.

26. Colorado Rockies 26 Will Ryan McMahon be lone representative at hometown All-Star Game?

27. Texas Rangers 27 Adolis Garcia would be a fun rep in the Home Run Derby.

28. Pittsburgh Pirates 28 As selling season commences, prices shouldn’t be too high in Pittsburgh.

29. Baltimore Orioles 29 Will soon have 10 shots to try to break 18-game road losing streak.

30. Arizona Diamondbacks 30 Can’t win at home, either.
