2 - Contract Supplement No. 2
Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The Department of Public Works, Fleet Management Division, has a need to purchase three replacement blowers with trailers, one stand-on aerator, one stand-on spreader and one mower for the Department of Youth, Parks and Community Enrichment, Park Maintenance Division. The seven new pieces of equipment will replace equipment that has reached the end of its useful life. The equipment will be used to maintain the public areas at parks and community sites.
Policy Considerations: The recommendations in this report are in accordance with City Code Chapter 3.56, which requires purchases that cause the total contract to exceed $250,000 to be approved by the City Council.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations:
File ID: 2023-01107 9/12/2023 Consent Item 11.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): No environmental review is necessary because the recommendations in this report involve the purchase of vehicles and are not considered to be a project in accordance with Section 15378(b)(2) of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines.
Sustainability: The recommended purchases are consistent with the Fleet Sustainability Policy adopted by City Council on December 12, 2017 (Resolution No. 2017-0478).
Commission/Committee Action: None
Rationale for Recommendation: After reviewing the available purchase options, the Fleet Management Division has determined that the Omnia Partners cooperative purchase agreement with Turf Star Western through The Toro Company represents the most advantageous purchasing strategy. The contract was competitively bid nationally, and Omnia Partners receives greater discounts from the manufacturer due to a higher purchase volume than the City would receive if issuing its own bid.
In an ongoing effort to maximize cost savings and staff resources, many government agencies share contracting efforts through cooperative purchasing. This procurement method increases pricing competitiveness and lowers operating costs through volume buying. When comparing the administrative costs of procurement, staff considers product research, source selection, specifications, advertising, staff reports, awarding, protest, and administration of the contract.
The City has used both regional and national cooperative purchase agreements to complement its own contracting initiatives. Cooperative purchasing enables City departments 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.
Financial Considerations: The recommended purchases, in a total amount not to exceed $230,092 will be made from the Department of Public Works Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/24 operating budget (Fleet Fund, Fund 6501) and will be charged to the Department of Youth, Parks and Community Enrichment, Fleet Project (I06191100, Fund 2401). Sufficient funding exists in the Department’s FY2023/24 operating budget and the Youth, Parks and Community Enrichment Fleet Project (I06191100) to support the recommended purchases.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): The Toro Company is not an LBE. The minimum LBE participation requirement is waived for the City’s use of cooperative purchase agreements that have been competitively bid, evaluated, and awarded by other governmental agencies that may or may not have similar LBE programs.

EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF WORK
1. INTENT: It is the intent of the City of Mesa to enter into a contract with a supplier(s) for the purchase of Grounds Maintenance Equipment, Parts, Accessories, Supplies, Related Services and Equipment. Qualified suppliers must have the capability to provide these products in all respects, in accordance with the Contract documents and to the satisfaction of the City.
2. NATIONAL CONTRACT: The City of Mesa, as the Principal Procurement Agency, as defined in Exhibit D, has partnered with the National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance Company (“National IPA) to make the resultant contract (also known as the “Master Agreement” in materials distributed by National IPA) from this solicitation available to other public agencies nationally, including state and local governmental entities, public and private primary, secondary and higher education entities, non- profit entities, and agencies for the public benefit (“Public Agencies”), through National IPA’s cooperative purchasing program. The City of Mesa is acting as the contracting agency for any other Public Agency that elects to utilize the resulting Master Agreement. Use of the Master Agreement by any Public Agency is preceded by their registration with National IPA as a Participating Public Agency in National IPA’s cooperative purchasing program. Exhibit D contains additional information on National IPA and the cooperative purchasing agreement.
National IPA is a channel partner with Vizient (formally, Novation). Together we leverage over $100 billion in annual spend to command the best prices on products and services. With corporate pricing and sales commitments from the Supplier, National IPA provides marketing and administrative support for the Supplier that directly promotes the Supplier’s products and services to Participating Public Agencies through multiple channels, each designed to promote specific products and services to Public Agencies on a national basis. Public Agencies benefit f rom pricing based on aggregate spend and the convenience of a contract that has already been advertised and competed. The Supplier benefits from a contract that allows Participating Public Agencies to directly purchase goods and services without the Suppli er’s need to respond to additional competitive solicitations. As such, the Supplier must be able to accommodate a nationwide demand for services and to fulfill obligations as a Nationwide Supplier and respond to the National IPA documents (Exhibit D).
The City of Mesa anticipates spending approximately $550,000.00 over the term of the contract for Grounds Maintenance Equipment, Parts, Accessories, Supplies, Related Services and Related Equipment. While no minimum volume is guaranteed to the Supplier, the estimated annual volume of Grounds Maintenance Equipment, Parts, Accessories, Supplies, Related Services and Related Equipment purchased under the Master Agreement through National IPA is approximately $35 million. This projection is based on the current ann ual volume through the City of Mesa, other Participating Public Agencies that are anticipated to utilize the resulting Master Agreement to be made available to them through National IPA and volume growth into other Public Agencies through a coordinated marketing approach between the Supplier and National IPA.

1. Provide detailed information explaining your service capabilities.
Toro utilizes our channel partners to provide service and support to our end user customers. For our Commercial division we have 22 distributors in the United States with many satellite offices to meet your needs. They have protected territories which allows them to make significant investments in their facilities and people to support the equipment and services they provide. The Toro Company provides technical assistance and support to our distributor operations teams. This includes troubleshooting equipment issues, providing updates to equipment, issuing service bulletins, working through warrantee issues, implementing performance standards and measurements, providing on- site support when needed for product quality concerns and developing action plans for improvement.
We have processes in place to help our channel partners exceed the needs of our customers developed through our 100 years of experience. These include monitoring our customers opinion of our service and developing improvements as necessary to achieve Customer Satisfaction Index scores above 9.
2. Provided detailed information explaining the service capabilities of your authorized dealers.
Simpson Norton’s service area covers the entire State of Arizona, New Mexico, Las Vegas, NV (Clark County) and parts of western Texas including El Paso and surrounding communities. Simpson Norton has a fleet of in- field repair trucks that will
perform repair services on equipment at job site for both warranty and non- warranty repairs. Our Goodyear facility staffs seven full -time service technicians and staffs two full-time service technicians in our Las Vegas facility. Simpson Norton has two full-time in-field techs that reside in New Mexico. All Toro’s Commercial distributors nationally have similar capabilities and resources.
3. Describe the maintenance programs offered. If a maintenance program is selected by the City, will your firm provide a loaner or rent al machine if the machine is down for more than twenty-four (24) hours.
Our distributors may offer a variety of maintenance programs depending on the need of the customer. These range from Time and Materials type services, Preventive maintenance contracts, Full Service maintenance contracts that include preventive maintenance and repairs. These programs are priced based on the specific needs of the customer, equipment age and condition. The distributor can provide pricing for these programs on a local level . Our distributors try to accommodate customers with a loaner when equipment is down.
4. Describe your preventative maintenance program (PMP) for each of the sample equipment. Provide the expected useful life and salvage value for each piece of equipment. Provide a list and per unit price of typical repair parts replaced during a piece of equipment’s useful life. In addition, submit life cycle costing information based on 2,000 annual hours of service.
Our experience shows that annual usage for the Southwes t part of the United States is about 800 hours per year. Usage of equipment such as utility vehicles and bunker rakes is much less than that. We have included our preventive maintenance schedules and typical replacement parts such as filters and best for each of the pieces identified in Attachment C. As far as useful life and salvage value, there are so many variables that go along with this that it is difficult to provide information. It is dependent on how you operate the equipment, the conditions in whic h you operate and the maintenance practices performed. We will note that Toro equipment typically has a higher residual value for off-lease items than our competitors.
G. CUSTOMER SUPPORT SERVICES: The policies on replacements, returns, restocking charges, after hours service, after sales support, out of stock, order tracing, technical feedback, quality assurance for orders and drop shipments.
EXHIBIT B
PRICING
1. Describe in detail the proposed business pricing model(s). Include all pertinent details (formulas, definitions, data, audit criteria, etc.) to explain the benefits of the proposed model. Discuss how a participating agency will be able to verify (audit) that the net pricing received conforms to the model.
We have six Business Units represented in this proposal.
1. The Toro Commercial Division pricing will be 21.8% off current MSRP of all wholegoods, attachments and accessories.
o For the City of Mesa, the Parts Program will consist of offering discounts on high usage parts such as belts, filters, tires, etc. The discount on these ‘Performance Parts’ varies by product group but ranges up to 50% off retail. These prices are reflected in the Parts pricing in Attachment A
2. The Toro Landscape Contractor Equipment (LCE) Division pricing will be 27% off current MSRP for their landscape contractor wholegoods, attachments and accessories.
3. The Toro Siteworks Systems Division (SWS) pricing will be 17% off current MSRP for wholegoods, attachments and accessories.
4. Golf Irrigation will be 40% off MSRP for all wholegoods, attachments and accessories.
5. Residential Commercial Irrigation will be:
o Irritrol; 40% off MSRP on wholegoods, attachments and accessories. o Rainmaster: 17% to 30% off MSRP on wholegoods, attachments and accessories. o ResCom : 40% off MSRP on Wholegoods, attachments and accessories. o Sentinel: 30% off MSRP on wholegoods, attachments and accessories.
6. BOSS: 25% off MSRP on wholegoods, attachments and accessories.
We request that our dealers and/or distributors have the ability to add attachments and accessories designed for use on Toro products but manufactured by a third party. These are items such as snow throwers, snow blades and brooms that attach to our products for use in the winter months. Each manufacturer of these products provides their own pricing, our pricing would not exceed the manufacturer list price. If there were any shipping and/or setup costs incurred by the dealer these would be added to the cost of the product.
Used and Demonstrator Equipment: Preowned and Demonstrator equipment is available from our distributors and dealers and pricing is based on Fair Market Value. The FMV of used and demo equipment is based on a combination of factors from true leasing which sets residual buyouts to hours, condition, age of equipment and current market pricing for like items. Our distributors typically publish a list of available equipment including the pricing.
Financing and leasing: Tax-exempt financing and leasing is a tool that municipalities can use to spread the cost of capital equipment acquisitions over the life of the assets being financed. Toro has contractual relationships with three finance companies that compete for your business. These are PNC, TCF, and DLL. Because of these relationships we have developed documents to help stream line the process for our tax exempt customers. This includes the credit application, approval, and non- appropriation language. This nationwide team of finance professionals has an in-depth understanding of tax-exempt financing.
Based on tax -exempt pricing ($1 purchase option at end of lease term), the monthly lease rate is indexed to a spread not to exceed 450 basis points (BPS) over the like term US treasuries (as published by the US Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15). Individual transaction pricing will be priced to the market based on specific transaction details.
For Fair Market Value (FMV) leases, terms from three to five years will be available. The monthly payments will not exceed 3.5% of the award price (at 600 hours per year of use). Alternative hours and payment terms (skip pays, annual pays, etc.) can be quoted by one of our financing partners. At the end of the lease (assuming all terms and conditions of the lease have been met), the equipment may be returned (subject to turn- in r equirements identified in the lease documents), renewed for an additional time, on mutually agreeable terms between the parties, or purchased at the then, fair market value of the equipment.
Included in this proposal is a hard copy of Toro’s current MSRP for each divisions products. Electronic copies will also be provided. Any product, attachments and accessory that is on these spreadsheet is available for the stated discounts.
This price model provides an aggressive discount to end users and is easy to cal culate through a discount on MSRP. We have many products that we typically do not discount, we refer to these as proprietary products, but with this contract we discount all products with the same aggressive pricing to provide customers with the aggressive pricing but also make pricing and auditing more efficient for all parties.
We will provide the City of Mesa and National IPA with current copies of our MSRP pricing so customers can verify through a third party. For Commercial, we also have a pricing system called iQuote that we load pricing from Toro and is used by all distributors to calculate pricing. This ensures the correct pricing at each location. Here is an example of this quoting system.
2. The City’s expectation is that the proposed pricing shall include delivery to Mesa and Participating Public Agencies. Based on your distribution network, explain the impact of such pricing to the City, Participating Public Agencies residing in large metropolitan areas and Participating Public Agencies residing in rural areas. Propose an optimal solution(s) that would provide Participating Public Agencies with the best pricing including freight costs.
The Pricing to the City of Mesa includes set -up and delivery of wholegoods, attachments and accessories. It will be the determination of each of our distributors if they want to charge set -up and delivery fees for orders from other Participating Public Agencies. This pricing strategy allows us to provide a more aggressive price on wholegoods, attachments and accessories.
3. The discount structure provided by the supplier is intended to remain constant throughout the term of the Contact. Discuss how often price lists are updated and provide a listing of price list changes that have taken place over the last three (3) years. Discuss any known future price list changes or industry changes that will effect pricing over the next Five (5) years.
Toro typically has changes to our MSRP lists once per year. As our fiscal year starts on November 1, we plan our annual changes f or that date. Our goal is to keep our price increases to a minimum to remain competitive in this market. For 2017 we have implemented an average price increase of 1.3%.
On occasion, we have to veer from this plan as economic forces cause our costs to change more dramatically than anticipated. We do provide at least a 30- day notice to our distributors that these changes are occurring. Over the past 3 years we have been able to hold to our plan of once per year price change.
There are other factors that also impact our pricing. The federal government mandated changes to emissions, known as Tier 4, this has significantly impact pricing on our diesel, non- road, 25 – 74 horsepower products starting in 2013. These price increases have ranged from 10 – 20% depending on product but Toro’s products have all transitioned to the Tier 4 Final engines and are therefore reflected in the current pricing.
4. State if pricing is most favorable offered to government agencies. Describe how your firm will ensure this contract will continually offer the best pricing available to Participating Public Agencies .
Pricing is most favorable offered for contracts of this scope. We are continuously provided with feedback from field sales representatives concerning the price/value paradigm versus our competition.
We evaluate this balance and make changes to pricing as needed to remain competitive. Toro also strongly believes in reducing cost through our processes and utilize Six Sigma Continuous Improvement Tools such as Kaizens, Lean Manufact uring, Process Mapping and D.M.A.I.C. (Define, Measure, Analyze, Implement, Control). Every year Toro establishes dollar values goals to Continuous Improvement and tracks and reports our progress against these goals. These procedures allow us to control costs which means controlling price increases to our customers.
In the end, our customers make the “Best Value” judgement and buy those products they consider “Best Value”. If we determine we are no longer “Best Value” at current pricing we will request changes to pricing.
5. Provide details of and propose additional discounts for volume orders, special manufacturer’s offers, minimum order quantity, free goods program, total annual spend, etc.
As an added incentive for volume purchases (single purchase order), Toro distributors may provide the following Smart Value Program. This program provides the customer with a level of dollars available to be used to purchase additional whole goods, accessories, attachments, parts or extended warrantee based on the volume of purchase according to the following scale.
Purchases at Retail Available Dollars
$150,000 - $199,999 $4,500
$200,000 - $249,999 $6,000
$250,000 - $299,999 $10,000

$600,000 - $649,999 $24,000
$650,000 - $699,999 $26,000
$700,000 - $749,999 $28,000
$750,000 - $799,999 $30,000
$800,000 - $849,999 $32,000
$850,000 - $899,999 $34,000
$900,000 + $36,000
6. Provide information on any ordering methods – such as electronic ordering or payment via pCard or EFT – or other criteria which entitle the using agency to additional discounts off of a manufacturer’s price list. If so, please provide the percentage discount.
Orders can be faxed, mailed or emailed. pCards and EFT can be accepted. All pricing is at users net.
7. Provide your payment terms. These payment terms shall apply to all purchase s and to all payment methods.
Payment terms are 0% 30 days for cash/check payments and EFT payments only .

H. Describe in detail how your company’s national sales force is structured, including contact information for the highest-level executive in charge of the sales team.
The Toro Company
Rick Olson – President & CEO
Brad Hamilton – Vice President, Commercial Division
Brad reports to Rick Olson. Reporting to Brad are our directors of sales, marketing, technical operations, customer care and controller for Commercial Division. Brad can be reached at 952-887-8815 or [email protected]
Jim Heinze – Director, Commercial Sales
Jim reports to Brad and leads a team of Regional and District Sales Managers that have responsibility for growing sales in the United States and Canada. They are also responsible for goal setting with d istributors, understanding distributor training and development needs, and implementing programs and contracts such as this. Jim can be reached at 952-887-8892 or [email protected]
Distribution
Most of our distributors are privately owned companies that are the connection from Toro to end use customer. The sales managers that report to the owners of these companies will manager a team of representatives responsible for selling and marketing Toro products. Every area of the United States has a representative assigned for sales coverage from one of our distributors. We have included a listing of these distributors and a contact list with this proposal.
I. Explain in detail how the sales teams will work with the National IPA team to implement, grow and service the national program.
We will continue to proactively train our sales organization and target accounts that would benefit from this contract. This includes the development of sales literature updated with the new contract information and use of the National IPA logo on targeted pieces. We are always looking for ways to engage the National IPA organization in our sales meetings.
We look at National IPA as an extension of our sales team. We want to make sure they understand how we sell to end users so they can better position The Toro Company when making sales calls.
J. Explain in detail how your organization will manage the overall national program throughout the term of the Master Agreement, including ongoing coordination of marketing and sales efforts, timely new Participating Public Agency account set-up, etc.
We communicate through our organization and our channel the best -demonstrated practices, success stories and updates to this contract. We overcome hurdles by demonstrating how other distributors are growing their business through the use of the contract and the use of the National IPA resources. This coordination and communication is part of what Jim Heinze’s sales team is responsible for. As key contacts for the contract, Pete Whitacre and Paula Sliefert will interface with the City of Mesa and National IPA for regular contract review meetings and strategy meetings as we have been doing for over nine years. Through this ongoing communication as changes happen at Toro, such as acquiring a new company, we can make changes to the contract and how it is marketed.
Realizing the need for consistent pricing across our distributors, Toro has created a National IPA pricing Program within our national quote system (iQuote). This assures that the correct pricing is applied to the quote, the equipment is ‘fit -up’ correctly and pricing can be verified by our Programs Administration department.
We have a process in place that will require our distributors to assign the National IPA agency number to their sales on this contract. This requires them to determine if the customer has already signed up as a participating agency or having them sign up prior to purchasing our products. This process requires time and support by our distri butors but we have now built these processes into our daily routine.
K. State the amount of your company’s Public Agency sales for the previous fiscal year.
Provide a list of your top 10 Public Agency customers, the total purchases for each for the previous fiscal year along with a key contact for each.
As we are a publicly traded Company, this detailed information is considered confidential.
However below is a representation of The Toro Company revenue for fiscal year 2016 by market and geographic location. Finally, we will commit to developing a list of customers to target for growth on this contract.
L. Describe your company’s information systems capabilities and limitations regarding order management through receipt of payment, including description of multiple platforms that may be used for any of these functions.
We use SAP as our mainframe through which our sales reporting function is housed. Our distributors electronically communicate all transactions to Toro through Connectivity by which we can collect sales data.
We are also equipped to conduct Electronic Funds Transfer payments.
M. Provide the Contract Sales (as defined in Section 10 of the National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance Company Administration Agreement) that your company will guarantee each year under the Master Agreement for the initial three years of the Master Agreement (“Guaranteed Contract Sales”).
To the extent Supplier guarantees minimum Contract Sales, the administration fee shall be calculated based on the greater of the actual Contract Sales and the Guaranteed Contract Sales.
N. Even though it is anticipated that many Public Agencies will be able to utilize the Master Agreement without further formal solicitation, there may be circumstances where Public Agencies will issue their own solicitations. The following options are available when responding to a solicitation for Products covered under the Master Agreement. i. Respond with Master Agreement pricing (Contract Sales reported to National IPA).
ii. If competitive conditions require pricing lower than the standard Master Agreement not-to-exceed pricing, Supplier may respond with lower pricing through the Master Agreement. If Supplier is awarded the contract, the sales are reported as Contract Sales to National IPA under the Master Agreement.
iii. Respond with pricing higher than Master Agreement only in the unlikely event that the Public Agency refuses to utilize Master Agreement (Contract Sales are not reported to National IPA).
iv. If alternative or multiple proposals are permitted, respond with pricing higher than Master Agreement, and include Master Agreement as the alternate or additional proposal.
v. Respond to any bid separate from Master Agreement (Contract sales not reported to National IPA).
Detail your strategies under these options when responding to a solicitation.

It is our understanding that the City of Mesa, Arizona is soliciting a response for Grounds Maintenance Equipment, Parts, Accessories, Supplies, Related Services and Equipment for the City of Mesa as well as other government agencies through a piggybacking process. National IPA is the cooperative organization that will allow for this contract to be utilized by other agencies and therefore we will also be contracting with National IPA as part of this agreement.
For the past nine years, The Toro Company has been the sole contract holder for Grounds Maintenance Equipment for National IPA through the City of Tucson as the Principal Procurement Agency. Through a competitive process The Toro Company was awarded the contract in 2007 and again in 2012. In conjunction with our National IPA partners, we have provided training to our national distributor/dealer networks to understand cooperative purchasing and the benefits that this contract holds. Through our sales and marketing efforts we have grown this contract into a vehicle that thousands of agencies across the country rely on for purchasing their Grounds Maintenance Equipment.
The primary contacts for this contract will be Pete Whitacre and Jon Stodola for Toro representing sales, Paula Sliefert and David Yakes representing Toro marketing. On a local basis, Shelly Spencer will be representing Simpson Norton management, Fred Balzarini represents outside sales, and Mike Swichtenberg represents service.
This response includes participation from Toro’s Commercial, Landscape Contractor, Site Works Systems, Golf Irrigation and Residential Commercial Irrigation and BOSS divisions. We are confident we represent the most complete offering for your ground maintenance equipment needs, not only for the City of Mesa, but also for other public agencies nation-wide. We look forward to supporting and growing this contract with you and other National IPA participating agencies.
Thank you for your consideration of The Toro Company as your Grounds Maintenance Equipment provider.
Best regards,

b. An assessment of the Respondent’s ability to meet and satisfy the needs of the City, taking into consideration the requested services, additional services and expertise offered that exceed the requirements of the Solicitation, and the Respondent’s inability to meet any of the requirements of the specifications.
The Toro Company and our distributor/dealer channel have been marketing and selling the National IPA contract for nine years. When we first started this contract in 2007, most of our distributors were not aware of what cooperative purchasing was. In the early months of the contract we developed an aggressive training program with our channel partners and the National IPA sales and mar keting team. One by one they learned what the contract was, the benefits to them and the benefits to their customers. The going was slow at first , but now the term ‘cooperative contract’ is part of their everyday lexicon. All of our distributors are actively selling our equipment through this contract. Our training continues, and over the years we have enlisted the help of local NIGP chapters leaders to teach our distributors how to sell to government agencies. Through Paula Sliefert and Pete Whitacre’s involvement in the NIGP’s Business Council we had a recent panel discussion at our national sales meeting that included past NIGP Presidents and current members of NIGP’s Governing Board, which allowed our distributor teams to ask questions and learn from practitioners on how they perceive cooperative purchasing, and the value of understanding the entire organization’s needs. We know that selling to government agencies requires a knowledge of process at each location and we have instilled that in our channel partners.
Within the golf industry, Toro is the market share leader by a wide margin. This is due primarily to our dedicated focus and support, and the strength and dedication of our channel partners.
Toro also offers the wideset array of products to serve the municipal market. Our response includes participation from Toro’s Commercial, Landscape Contractor (LCE), Site Works Systems (SWS), Golf Irrigation and Residential Commercial Irrigation and BOSS divisions. We are confident we represent the most complete offering for your ground maintenance equipment needs, not only for the City of Mesa, but also for other public agencies nationally.

Toro has acted in good faith to the National IPA in developing and growing the current Grounds Equipment contract. We have proven ourselves over the last nine years to add value to our customers. Our current contract has always been positioned as a tool for our customers to use to make procurement easier, reduce procurement costs, leverage pricing and reduce cycle time.
In those states that currently do not have or have a limited state contract, we will position the City of Mesa/National IPA contract as a primary vehicle to local forms of government. In states that have a state contract, we will review the benefits of the City of Mesa/National IPA contract and let the customers make the value jud gment. The growth of our current contract over the past nine years is proof of the value we add to our end users.
D. Acknowledge that your company agrees to provide its company/corporate logo(s) to National IPA and agrees to provide permission for reproduction of such logo in marketing communications and promotions.
Acknowledge that use of National IPA logo will require permission for reproduction, as well.
We have provided and will continue to provide use of the Toro logo to the National IPA as long as each use of the logo is approved by Toro prior to publication and complies with our brand standards.
E. Supplier is responsible for proactive direct sales of Supplier’s goods and services to Public Agencies nationwide and the timely follow up to leads established by National IPA. All sales materials are to use the National IPA logo. At a minimum, the Supplier’s sales initiatives should communicate:
Requirements for National Cooperative Contract
i. Master Agreement was competitively solicited and publicly awarded by a Principal Procurement Agency
ii. Best government pricing
iii. No cost to participate
iv. Non-exclusive contract
Toro acknowledges this requirement and will comply.
F. Supplier is responsible for the training of its national sales force on the Master Agreement. At a minimum, sales training should include:
i. Key features of Master Agreement
ii. Working knowledge of the solicitation process
iii. Awareness of the range of Public Agencies that can utilize the Master Agreement through National IPA
iv. Knowledge of benefits of the use of cooperative contracts
Toro and our distributors have a very comprehensive knowledge of the features, process and awareness of our current contract and through our training will have with the City of Mesa contract as well. This knowledge has been represented by the growth in sales across our distribution channel. Any changes to the contract, process or target customer will be communicated to our distributors and individual training arranged for those distributors that require it.

They are also responsible for goal setting with dis tributors, understanding distributor training and development needs, and implementing programs and contracts such as this. Jim can be reached at 952-887-8892 or [email protected]
Distribution
Most of our distributors are privately owned companies that are the connection from Toro to end use customer. The sales managers that report to the owners of these companies will manager a team of representatives responsible for selling and marketing Toro products. Every area of the United States has a representative assigned for sales coverage from one of our distributors. We have included a listing of these distributors and a contact list with this proposal.
I. Explain in detail how the sales teams will wo rk with the National IPA team to implement, grow and service the national program.
We will continue to proactively train our sales organization and target accounts that would benefit from this contract. This includes the development of sales literature updated with the new contract information and use of the National IPA logo on targeted pieces. We are always looking for ways to
Requirements for National Cooperative Contract
engage the National IPA organization in our sales meetings. We look at National IPA as an extension of our sales team. We want to make sure they understand how we sell to end users so they can better position The Toro Company when making sales calls.
J. Explain in detail how your organization will manage the overall national program throughout the term of the Master Agreement, including ongoing coordination of marketing and sales efforts, timely new Participating Public Agency account set-up, etc.
We communicate through our organization and our channel the best - demonstrated practices, success stories and updates to this contract. We overcome hurdles by demonstrating how other distributors are growing their business through the use of the contract and the use of the National IPA resources. This coordination and communication is part of what Jim Heinze’s sales team is responsible for. As key contacts for the contract, Pete Whitacre and Paula Sliefert will interface with the City of Mesa and National IPA for regular contract review meetings and strategy meetings as we have been doing for over nine years. Through thi s ongoing communic ation as changes happen at Toro, such as acquiring a new company, we can make changes to the contract and how it is marketed.
Realizing the need for consistent pricing across our distributors, Toro has created a National IPA pricing Pr ogram within our national quote system (iQuote). This assures that the correct pricing is applied to the quote, the equipment is ‘fit-up’ correctly and pricing can be verified by our Programs Administration department.
We have a process in place that w ill require our distributors to assign the National IPA agency number to their sales on this contract. This requires them to determine if the customer has already signed up as a participating agency or having them sign up prior to purchasing our products. This process requires time and support by our distributors but we have now built these processes into our daily routine.
K. State the amount of your company’s Public Agency sales for the previous fiscal year. Provide a list of your top 10 Public Agency c ustomers, the total purchases for each for the previous fiscal year along with a key contact for each.
As we are a publicly traded Company, this detailed information is considered confidential. However below is a representation of The Toro Company revenue for fiscal year 2016 by market and geographic location. Finally, we will commit to develop ing a list of customers to target for growth on this contract.
Requirements for National Cooperative Contract
L. Describe your company’s information systems capabilities and limitations regarding order management through receipt of payment, including description of multiple platforms that may be used for any of these functions.
We use SAP as our mainframe through which our sales reporting function is housed.
Our distributors electronically communicate all transactions to Toro through Connectivity by which we can collect sales data.
We are also equipped to conduct Electronic Funds Transfer payments.
M. Provide the Contract Sales (as defined in Section 10 of the National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance Company Administration Agreement) that your company will guarantee each year under the Master Agreement for the initial three years of the Master Agreement (“Guaranteed Contract Sales”).
To the extent Supplier guarantees minimum Contract Sales, the administration fee shall be calculated based on the greater of the actual Contract Sales and the Guaranteed Contract Sales.
N. Even though it is anticipated that many Public Agencies will be able to utilize the Master Agreement without further formal solicitation, there may be circumstances where Public Agencies will issue their own solicitations. The following options are available wh en responding to a solicitation for Products covered under the Master Agreement.
i. Respond with Master Agreement pricing (Contract Sales reported to National IPA).
ii. If competitive conditions require pricing lower than the standard Master Agreement not-to-exceed pricing, Supplier may respond with lower pricing through the Master Agreement. If Supplier is awarded the contract, the sales are reported as Contract Sales to National IPA under the Master Agreement.
iii. Respond with pricing higher than Master Agreement only in the unlikely event that the Public Agency refuses to utilize Master Agreement (Contract Sales are not reported to National IPA). iv. If alternative or multiple proposals are permitted, respond with pricing higher than Master Agreement, and include Mast er Agreement as the alternate or additional proposal.
Detail your strategies under these options when responding to a solicitation.
See attachment ‘Exceptions Taken’ for detail.

d. Describe in your offering if you currently have or are in the process of developing Hybrid and/or all Electric equipment.
Alternative Fuels
A number of years ago, The Toro Company saw the need to evaluate and approve the use of biodiesel fuels in our products. We conducted an extensive, multi-year test program to approve the use of biodiesel fuels. As a result of the testing, all Toro diesel products are approved for the use of B20 fuels. We made the necessary changes to the machines that allow the use of that mix. We are willing to work with specific customers and allow the use of B100 fuel is special situations. The machines will function well on B100 fuel but some caution must be taken. Cold temperatures can cause the fuel to jell. It is also necessary to change fuel filters on a more regular basis. We would be happy to work with you to use B100 fuel successfully.
Propane is another choice that we offer on a few products. Properly designed propane powered products can be a good choice. We have engineered the products to have the correct engines and fuel systems so that they perform up to customer expectations. Propane requires convenient access to a fuel supply. It is also a less dense fuel that is typically stored in cylindrical tanks. The product range is somewhat less than an equivalent gasoline powered machine. Propane powered machines also tend to struggle a bit in cold temperatures because it is necessary for the fuel to vaporize. If the customer has a readily available supply of fuel and the site and use practice allow, propane can be a lower cost and lower carbon impact choice.
With the full implementation of the Tier 4 final EPA emission requirements, all of our products are in full compliance with the applicable rules. These products work very well and have lower emissions and somewhat improved fuel economy.
Fuel Efficiency
One of the ways to reduce the impact of the product is to improve the fuel efficiency, essentially increase the “mileage” of the product. We have done some extensive studies on how fuel is used and have identified some improvements that we have implemented. We have implemented a technology that we call SmartCool™. It more actively decides when it is necessary to run the cooling system on the machine. This reduces fuel consumption in two ways. One, it does not waste energy to run the fan when it is not required. Secondly, it allows the machines systems to run at optimum temperature again assuring fuel i s not wasted. This technology can save up to xx%
We have also implemented a technology that we call SmartPower™. In order to make sure that a product meets customer expectation, it is necessary to make sure that the machine has more power than needed in all conditions. As a result of extensive studies of machine usage, we found that the peak power demand were very short duration and were only in special situations.
These peaks caused us to put a larger than necessary engine on the machine resulting more fuel consumption. SmartPower™ actively manages the power demand by monitoring the inputs from the operator and clipping the demands by not allowing the machine to exceed it capabilities. This allows us to utilize a smaller, more fuel efficient engine. Machine performance on machines with SmartPower™ is equivalent to machines that do not have the technology with lower fuel consumption. This feature allows an inexperienced operator to be more productive than a seasoned veteran.
The new GM5900/5910 that was jus t made available to the market delivers improved horsepower efficiency through innovations to the hydraulic systems, the electric cooling system and cutting system improvements, which reduces power usage. Because of these innovations, we have a demonstrated up to a 30% improvement in fuel consumption.

Hybrid Electric
We see a lot of opportunity to use hybrid electric technology to improve the fuel efficiency of our products. Hybrid electric is beneficial when the peak power requirements are substantially larger than the average power. We have two products that are currently available. One Triflex Greensmower and a fairway mower known as the 5010H. Both products are true hybrids that have engines that charge batteries and power the implements with electric drives. The electric drives are designed for this application to be substantially more efficient than the drives that they replace. We have implanted a creative technology that we call PowerMatch where the hybrid power system decides if the energy required to accomplish the task comes from the engine or the batteries. The net result is 20% fuel savings. Hybrid technology has potential applications to other products in our portfolio that are currently in development.
All Electric Products
We have been looking at all electric products for many years. Toro holds some of the original patents on electric mowers that date back to the 1920’s. The fundamental challenge is that it takes approximately 800 pounds of lead-acid batteries to be equivalent to a gallon of gasoline or diesel fuel. As a result, it is difficult to get the performance that customers expect or that provide the run time that is needed because it is not possible to carry enough energy in batteries. Battery technology continues to improve both in performance and cost.
As of today, we have developed and offered for sale a eFlex® Greensmower® that utilizes state of the art brushless DC electric motors and advanced Li -Ion battery system. The battery
THE TORO COMPANY
City of Mesa
10 City of Mesa RFP for: Grounds Maintenance, Equipment, Parts, Accessories, Supplies, Related Services and Equipment Solicitation # 2017025
is designed to last for 5 years and provide suf ficient runtime to mow the expected number of greens and to power the key desired accessories such as groomers and lights.
New to the market is the Workman GTX electric, which has extended range over its predecessor
We have and continue to look for new applications of all electric products. It is very important that we understand the demands of the application and make sure that the components are appropriately sized for the application. We need to make sure that we provide adequate power (torque) for p eak demands and sufficient capacity and cooling for the required runtime. We believe that we understand the customer needs and expectations so that our all -electric products now and in the future will be desired because they are superior products. We are in the process of developing additional electric products (and hybrid electric products) for release in the near future.
Hydrogen Fuel Cells
Hydrogen fuel cells are one of the emerging technologies that hold a lot of promise for mobile applications. They were invented in the 50’s and 60’s and one of the first high profile applications were to provide electrical power and water to space craft that allowed us to go to the moon. The first flight of fuel cells was Gemini 5 in August 1965. The explosion in the oxygen tank that provided fuel for the fuel cell and oxygen for the crew was the cause of the disaster in Apollo 13. Fuel cells are desirable because they provide efficient electricity and they are refuelable vs rechargeable.
We have prototyped a number of fuel cell vehicles to both demonstrate the potential and to identify the design challenges. We picked two of our product platforms to work with a triplex Greensmower™ and our mid- duty and heavy -duty utility vehicle platform. All of the products resulted in very serviceable products that were equal to or superior to the engine driven platforms that they replaced. We knew we were on the bleeding edge of the commercialization curve. The products were highly functional but were high cost and fuel is not read ily available.
The turf maintenance market is not large enough to enable commercialization of the infrastructure. We can however utilize shared infrastructure.
We developed and deployed a demonstration of the hydrogen vehicles that was supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). We developed and deployed in demonstration 4 vehicles at Niagara Falls State Park, Albany, Hempstead and Bethpage.

Simpson Norton has a fleet of in- field repair trucks that will perform repair services on equipment at job site for both warranty and non- warranty repairs. Our Goodyear facility staffs seven full-time service technicians and staffs two full-time service technicians in our Las Vegas facility. Simpson Norton has two full -time in-field techs that reside in New Mexico. All Toro’s Commercial distributors nationally have similar capabilities and resources.
d. Describe the maintenance programs offered. If a maintenance program is selected by the City, will your firm provide a loaner or rental machine if the machine is down for more than twenty - four (24) hours?
Our distributors may offer a variety of maintenance programs depending on the need of the customer. These range from Time and Materials type services, Preventive maintenance contracts, Full Service maintenance contracts that include preventive maintenance and repairs.
These programs are pric ed based on the specific needs of the customer, equipment age and condition. The distributor can provide pricing for these programs on a local level. Our distributors try to accommodate customers with a loaner when equipment is down.
e. Describe your preventative maintenance program (PMP) for each of the sample equipment (Attachment A). Provide the expected useful life and salvage value for each piece of equipment.
THE TORO COMPANY
City of Mesa
23 City of Mesa RFP for: Grounds Maintenance, Equipment, Parts, Accessories, Supplies, Related Services and Equipment Solicitation # 2017025
Provide a list and per unit price of typical repair parts replaced during a piece of equipment ’s useful life. In addition, submit life cycle costing information based on 2,000 annual hours of service.
Our experience shows that annual usage for the Southwest part of the United States is about 800 hours per year. Usage of equipment such as utility vehicles and bunker rakes is much less than that. We have included our preventive maintenance schedules and typical replacement parts such as filters and best for each of the pieces identified in Attachment C. As far as useful life and salvage value, there are so many variables that go along with this that it is difficult to provide information. It is dependent on how you operate the equipment, the conditions in which you operate and the maintenance practices performed. We will note that Toro equipment typically has a higher residual value for off-lease items than our competitors.
f. Describe your training programs. The proposed training program shall include but not be limited to:
1. How will equipment training be conducted?

7. Ordering and Invoices
a. Describe your ordering capacity (telephone, fax, internet, etc.). Provide details of the capabilities of your E Commerce website including ability to display contract pricing, on- line ordering, order tracking, search options, order history, technical assistance, lists, technical data and documentation, identification of alternate green products, etc.
For Simpson Norton, orders can be called in, faxed, mailed and emailed. Office hours are M-F 6a.m. – 4p.m.
www.Toro.com
can be utilized to look up parts, parts breakdowns, technical data and documentation (most at no charge). Our myTurf service can also be used for parts lookup and ordering. Requests for tracking orders and order history can be completed by our staff as requested. The sales team can help identify alternative fuel products, etc.
b. Describe the equipment delivery process and your delivery commitment. What are standard equipment delivery timeframes? Are there cut off dates and how are these dates communicated to customers.
Typically equipment is setup and delivered to the customer’s designated delivery location 4- 6 weeks after receipt of purchase order. Delivery times vary based on the type of equipment. Any delivery dates noted on the customer’s PO are honored. If for some reason a deadline cannot be met, the salesman will work closely with the customer to find a mutual solution. A Certificate of Delivery accompanies each piece of new Toro equipment. (see copy attached). The customer retains a copy along with a binder including operator parts manuals along with any other documentation pertaining to that specific piece of equipment. Updates for delivery dates are communicated by the salesman. There really are no cut off dates unless a customer is trying to order before a price increase. Again the salesman would communicate this information to the customer.
c. Describe your invoicing process. Is electronic invoicing available? Is summary invoicing available? Are there other options on how an agency receives an inv oice? Submit sample invoices.
Invoicing is done daily for all deliveries made that day. Invoices can be sent electronically (emailed) or mailed depending on the customer’s needs. Statements are typically mailed, but can be setup to be sent electronically (email). (See attached sample invoice).
8. Other
a. Describe any government rebate programs that are offered.
State and local governments may develop programs to incent their constituents to purchase alternative fuel products. Each agency would need to inquire with their state or local government agency to determine any current program. Toro will work with each agency to provide the required product for the rebate offered.

TAB 4 - Pricing and Compensation Forms. The cost portion of the Response should include the following criteria:
1. Provide a Price Proposal. See attachment A.
2. Describe in detail the proposed business pricing model(s). Include all pertinent details (formulas, definitions, data, audit criteria, etc.) to explain the benefits of the proposed model. Discuss how a participating agency will be able to verify (audit) that the net pricing received conforms to the model.
We have six Business Units represented in this proposal.
1. The Toro Commercial Division pricing will be 21.8% off current MSRP of all wholegoods, attachments and accessories.
o For the City of Mesa, the Parts Program will consist of offering discounts on high usage parts such as belts, filters, tires, etc. The discount on these ‘Performance Parts’ varies by product group but ranges up to 50% off retail.
These prices are reflected in the Parts pricing in Attachment A.
2. The Toro Landscape Contractor Equipment (LCE ) Division pricing will be 27% off current MSRP for their landscape contractor wholegoods, attachments and accessories.
3. The Toro Siteworks Systems Division (SWS) pricing will be 17% off current MSRP for wholegoods, attachments and accessories.
4. Golf Irrigation will be 40% off MSRP for all wholegoods, attachments and accessories.
5. Residential Commercial Irrigation will be:
o Irritrol; 40% off MSRP on wholegoods, attachments and accessories. o Rainmaster: 17% to 30% off MSRP on wholegoods, attachments and accessories.
o ResCom : 40% off MSRP on Wholegoods, attachments and accessories o Sentinel: 30% off MSRP on wholegoods, attachments and accessories.
6. BOSS: 25% off MSRP on wholegoods, attachments and accessories
We request that our dealers and/or distributors have the ability to add attachments and accessories designed for use on Toro products but manufactured by a third party. These are items such as snow throwers, snow blades and brooms that attach to our products for use in the winter months. Each manufacturer of these products provides their own pricing, our pricing would not exceed the manufacturer list price. If there were any shipping and/or setup costs incurred by the dealer these would be added to the cost of the product.
Used and Demonstrator Equipment: Preowned and Demonstrator equipment is available from our distributors and dealers and pricing is based on Fair Market Value. The FMV of used and demo equipment is based on a combination of f actors from true leasing which sets residual buyouts to hours, condition, age of equipment and current market pricing for like items. Our distributors typically publish a list of available equipment including the pricing.

2 City of Mesa RFP for: Grounds Maintenance, Equipment, Parts, Accessories, Supplies, Related Services and Equipment Solicitation # 2017025
Financing and leasing: Tax -exempt financing and leasing is a tool that municipalities can use to spread the cost of capital equipment acquisitions over the life of the assets being financed. Toro has contractual relationships with three finance companies that compete for your business. These are PNC, TCF, and DLL. Because of these relationships we have developed documents to help stream line the process for our tax exempt customers. This includes the credit application, approval, and non-appropriation language. This nationwide team of fi nance professionals has an in- depth understanding of tax-exempt financing.
Based on tax -exempt pricing($1 purchase option at end of lease term), the monthly lease rate is indexed to a spread not to exceed 450 basis points (BPS) over the like term US treasuries (as published by the US Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15). Individual transaction pricing will be priced to the market based on specific transaction details.
For Fair Market Value (FMV) leases, terms from three to five years will be availa ble. The monthly payments will not exceed 3.5% of the award price (at 600 hours per year of use). Alternative hours and payment terms (skip pays, annual pays, etc.) can be quoted by one of our financing partners.
At the end of the lease (assuming all terms and conditions of the lease have been met), the equipment may be returned (subject to turn- in requirements identified in the lease documents), renewed for an additional time, on mutually agreeable terms between the parties, or purchased at the then, fair market value of the equipment.
Included in this proposal is a hard copy of Toro’s current MSRP for each divisions products.
Electronic copies will also be provided. Any product, attachments and accessory that is on these spreadsheet is available for the stated discounts.
This price model provides an aggressive discount to end users and is easy to calculate through a discount on MSRP. We have many products that we typically do not discount, we refer to these as proprietary products, but with this contract we discount all products with the same aggressive pricing to provide customers with the aggressive pricing but also make pricing and auditing more efficient for all parties.
We will provide the City of Mesa and National IPA with current copies of our MSR P pricing so customers can verify through a third party. For Commercial, we also have a pricing system called iQuote that we load pricing from Toro and is used by all distributors to calculate pricing. This ensures the correct pricing at each location. Here is an example of this quoting system.

3. The City’s expectation is that the proposed pricing shall include delivery to Mesa and Participating Public Agencies. Based on your distribution network, explain the impact of such pricing to the City, Participating Public Agencies residing in large metropolitan areas and Participating Public Agencies residing in rural areas. Propose an optimal solution(s) that would provide Participating Public Agencies with the best pricing including freight costs.
The Prici ng to the City of Mesa includes set -up and delivery of wholegoods, attachments and accessories. It will be the determination of each of our distributors if they want to charge set-up and delivery fees for orders from other Participating Public Agencies. Th is pricing strategy allows us to provide a more aggressive price on wholegoods, attachments and accessories.
4. The discount structure provided by the supplier is intended to remain constant throughout the term of the Contact. Discuss how often price lists are updated and provide a listing of price list changes that have taken place over the last three (3) years. Discuss any known future price list changes or industry changes that will effect pricing over the next Five (5) years.
Toro typically has changes to our MSRP lists once per year. As our fiscal year starts on November 1, we plan our annual changes for that date. Our goal is to keep our price increases to a minimum to remain competitive in this market. For 2017 we have implemented an average price increase of
1.3%.
On occasion, we have to veer from this plan as economic forces cause our costs to change more dramatically than anticipated. We do provide at least a 30- day notice to our distributors that these changes are occurring. Over the past 3 year s we have been able to hold to our plan of once per year price change.

There are other factors that also impact our pricing. The federal government mandated changes to emissions, known as Tier 4, this has significantly impact pricing on our diesel, non- road, 25 – 74 horsepower products starting in 2013. These price increases have ranged from 10 – 20% depending on product but Toro’s products have all transitioned to the Tier 4 Final engines and are therefore reflected in the current pricing.
5. State if pricing is most favorable offered to government agencies. Describe how your firm will ensure this contract will continually offer the best pricing available to Participating Public Agencies.
Pricing is most favorable offered for contracts of this scope. We are continuously provided with feedback from field sales representatives concerning the price/value paradigm versus our competition. We evaluate this balance and make changes to pricing as needed to remain competitive. Toro also strongly believes in reducing cost through our processes and utilize Six Sigma Continuous Improvement Tools such as Kaizens, Lean Manufacturing, Process Mapping and D.M.A.I.C.(Define, Measure, Analyze, Implement, Control). Every year Toro establishes dollar values goals to Continuous Improvement and tracks and reports our progress against these goals.
These procedures allow us to control costs which means controlling price increases to our customers.
In the end, our customers make the “Best Value” judgement and buy those products they consider “Best Value” . If we determine we are no longer “Best Value” at current pricing we will request changes to pricing.
6. Provide details of and propose additional discounts for volume orders, special manufacturer’s offers, minimum order quantity, free goods program, total annual spend, etc.
As an added incentive for volume purchases (single purchase order), Toro distributors may provide the following Smart Value Program. This program provides the customer with a level of dollars available to be used to purchase additional whole goods, accessories, attachments, parts or extended warrantee based on the volume of purchase according to the following scale.

TO: All Proposers Receiving Request for Proposal (RFP) #2017025, GROUNDS
MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT, PARTS, ACCESSORIES, SUPPLIES, RELATED
SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT
FROM: Jess Romney, Procurement Officer JR
DATE: December 5, 2016
SUBJECT: Addendum #2 – Vendor Questions and City’s Response
All Proposers are hereby notified that the proposal for Grounds Maintenance Equipment, Parts, Accessories, Supplies, Related Services and Equipment has been revised by this addendum.
Listed below are questions received from Vendors regarding this RFP and the responses provided by City staff.
1. Question: Tab 3; Instructions item 3g: Can you provide clarification on the Tier 4 EPA requirement? For those products that fall into the 25 to 74 HP off -road diesel category are you requiring the Tier 4 final engine? The equipment in this category with the Tier 4 final engines provide the most up to date emissions reductions. If that is what you are requiring can you update this section as such?
Response: Equipment offered must be Tier 4 Compliant.
2. Question: Scope of Work item 4 Product Requirements, A5: In the Balance of Line section we would like to include those allied products that are attachments to our products but not manufactured by us. For example; we have mowing equipm ent manufactured by us that converts to a snow removing machine with attachments such as snow throwers and brooms made by another company specifically for use on our machines. Our dealers would price and order these products as part of the order and ship in total to the customer. By allowing those items a customer can purchase the fully equipped machine through this contract. Is this allowable in this section?
Response: Yes, this is allowable.
3. Question: Scope of Work Item 9: We request that you eliminate the second paragraph of this section so that price changes are not tied to the PPI or to the contract anniversary date. For contracts that are based on a discount off MSRP, tying increases to a PPI makes the management of a price file very difficult as t he PPI does not normally reflect our actual price changes. Also, the ability to change pricing when the manufacturer changes pricing is also helpful in maintaining current pricing. Deleting the second paragraph of this section would effectively cover these two requests to price adjustments.
Response: The Scope of Work Item 9 is changed as follows.
9. PRICING:
a. Prices. All pricing shall be firm for the Term and all extensions or renewals of the Term except where otherwise provided in this Agreement, and i nclude all costs of the Contractor providing the materials/service including transportation, insurance and warranty costs. No fuel surcharges will be accepted unless allowed in this Agreement.
The City shall not be invoiced at prices higher than those stated in the Agreement.
The Contractor further agrees that any reductions in the price of the materials or services covered by this Agreement will apply to the undelivered balance. The Contractor shall promptly notify the City of such price reductions.
