For the execution of the agreement we will ask our Cat dealer and Sourcewell member to use the Caterpillar price list that is current at the time of the quote. Dealers, in consultation with the member, will configure the machine to the desired specifications and apply the stated list discount to that configured list price amount. Dealer and members should remember to factor in any expected price increases if a machine will be built to order. The pricing document, in the applicable pricing document attachment section, shows the list discount offered for each new machine. Additionally, we are pleased to offer a list discount of 15% off all products and consulting services under Cat Safety Services. 58 Quantify the pricing discount represented by the pricing proposal in this response. For example, if the pricing in your response represents a percentage discount from MSRP or list, state the percentage or percentage range. Pricing in this proposal is a percentage discount from list on current machine and work tools list prices. Our discount range varies between 10 - 26% off of the list price depending on the product family or model. 59 Describe any quantity or volume discounts or rebate Our dealers are empowered to consider purchase order volume, programs that you offer. repeat purchases, etc. They may offer members additional discounts and /or services at their discretion. 60 Propose a method of facilitating "sourced" products or Sourced goods / Open Market Items are available to members from related services, which may be referred to as "open Cat dealers. The prices for these good or services will represent market" items or "nonstandard options". For example, you fair marketing value and will be determined between the member may supply such items "at cost" or "at cost plus a and the selling dealer. We encourage our dealers and members to percentage," or you may supply a quote for each such use these options as it facilitates complimentary products and request. streamlines the procurement process. Customers and dealers are responsible for including their Sourcewell member numbers on all documentation related to these purchases. Caterpillar Inc. is not a party to these sales and is exempted from including them in quarterly reports. For audits, inclusion of a customer's Sourcewell member number on the PO and /or invoice shall be deemed sufficient. 61 Identify any element of the total cost of acquisition that is NOT included in the pricing submitted with your response. This includes all additional charges associated with a purchase that are not directly identified as freight or shipping charges. For example, list costs for items like pre - delivery inspection, installation, set up, mandatory training, or initial inspection. Identify any parties that impose such costs and their relationship to the Proposer. 62 If freight, delivery, or shipping is an additional cost to the Sourcewell participating entity, describe in detail the complete freight, shipping, and delivery program. 63 Specifically describe freight, shipping, and delivery terms or programs available for Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, or any offshore delivery. 64 Describe any unique distribution and/or delivery methods or options offered in your proposal. Machines are unique in their requirements for preparation prior to use. Some may require local final assembly due to their large size others may have locally installed options (fire suppression, beacons, auto lube systems for example). When a dealer issues a quote for a machine, any dealer costs (like pre -delivery inspection, installation, set up, training, etc.) will be itemized separately and are not subject to the Caterpillar list discount for Sourcewell members. There is no additional cost to members who choose to pick up their machines from the Cat dealer. Dealers may charge fees for delivery to the Sourcewell members location. Just as for members in the 48 contiguous states, there is no additional cost to members who choose to pick up their machine from their Cat dealer. Dealers may charge fees for delivery to the Sourcewell members' location. Machines are large purchases and if there are unique Sourcewell member requirements our dealers will be happy to discuss on a case by case basis.

We want our governmental customers to have the ability to choose which cooperative contract better fits their needs. Table 13: Audit and Administrative Fee Line Question Item 66 Specifically describe any self -audit process or program that you plan to employ to verify compliance with your proposed Contract with Sourcewell. This process includes ensuring that Sourcewell participating entities obtain the proper pricing, that the Vendor reports all sales under the Contract each quarter, and that the Vendor remits the proper administrative fee to Sourcewell. Provide sufficient detail to support your ability to report quarterly sales to Sourcewell as described in the Contract template. 67 If you are awarded a contract, provide a few examples of internal metrics that will be tracked to measure whether you are having success with the contract. 68 Identify a proposed administrative fee that you will pay to Sourcewell for facilitating, managing, and promoting the Sourcewell Contract in the event that you are awarded a Contract. This fee is typically calculated as a percentage of Vendor's sales under the Contract or as a per -unit fee; it is not a line -item addition to the Member's cost of goods. (See the RFP and template Contract for additional details.) Response* We plan to continue our very robust process to ensure reporting speed, accuracy, and contract compliance. Caterpillar and Cat dealers have very close and trusting relationships. Cat dealers are long-established, and the current process (under contract #032119-CAT) is working well 1) To ensure pricing accuracy, we maintain our current Sourcewell customer discount sheet on our dealer facing pricing pages. Dealers integrate these numbers automatically in their quoting software. 2) To ensure new machines and work tool sales are recorded properly, we use our post -sale credit system. In a nutshell, this means that we corporately support the pricing offered in this contract at a level below what's available to other customers. To receive this additional monetary support after the machine is delivered, dealers must supply the member's name, address, and member number. There is no additional burden or cost to our dealers to use the Sourcewell contract and this is part of the reason for their high engagement and our high reporting accuracy. 3) At month end, we gather the new machine and work tool sales data attributed to Sourcewell and aggregate it for our reporting. 4) After quarter end, we will send the quarterly sales report and administration fee payment to Sourcewell for all items that are subject to the administrative fee. We regularly track the % of sales that are sold using a cooperative contract. We will continue this practice if we are awarded a contract for RFP 020223. Per amendment #1 to Contract #032119-CAT, we will be pleased to offer an administrative fee of 0.33% of Caterpillar's list price for each piece of new equipment and serialized work tools purchased by Sourcewell's Participating Entities. Caterpillar will pay this fee and will not ask dealers or members to pay the fee.

DISCUSSION: The Property Management Department's Fleet Acquisitions Division is currently in the process of fulfilling a multi -year backlog of City vehicle and equipment purchases. The biggest challenge in trying to overcome this backlog is the availability of vendors, inventory, and the time it takes for the City to make purchases when vehicles are available. Currently, the City has a backlog of eight (8) years totaling more than $30 million dollars. The City currently has contracts with the following vendors using cooperative contracts: VENDOR �Siciclons Martin Emergency Group, LLC �Siciclons Martin Emergency Group, LLC �JIIouston Holdings, LLC �Versalift Lake Country Chevrolet North Texas Trailers, LLC Silsbee Ford Associated Supply Company (ASCO) Rogue Jet Boatworks, Inc. Lenco Industries, Inc. Polaris Sales, Inc. Nationwide Trailers, LLC 6afco, Inc. COOPERATIVE AGENCY BuyBoard Houston -Galveston Area Council (HGAC) BuyBoard Sourcewell The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) Buyboard TIPS BuyBoard General Services Administration (GSA) HGAC Sourcewell BuyBoard BuyBoard Docusign Envelope ID: 18D36176-994D-48AC-BDEF-CCFD505C4FE9 However, due to limited inventory and availability, additional vendors and options are needed. Fleet Acquisitions has already identified twenty-nine additional vendors that are available through cooperatives. Approval of this Mayor & Council Communication (M&C) authorizes the City to execute contracts with any vendor that is currently listed on any valid cooperative that has one or more vehicles or pieces of equipment that is a current need for the City's fleet. This authorization would also include purchases made using Interlocal Agreements with other governmental entities. Fleet Acquisitions recently partnered with the Purchasing Division in an effort to better ensure that the City is able to purchase needed items as quickly and efficiently as possible. The Fleet team meets regularly with key personnel to ensure that specifications are appropriate for the City's fleet, costs are reasonable and acceptable, and that departments are receiving items that meet their business needs. COOPERATIVE PURCHASE and INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS - State law provides that a local government purchasing an item under a cooperative purchasing agreement or interlocal agreement satisfies state laws requiring that the local government seek competitive bids for purchase of the item. AGREEMENT TERMS - Upon City Council approval of this M&C, the City will have authority to enter into one-time purchase agreements or annual agreements with available vendors for up to three years from the date of approval. At the expiration of three years from the date of approval, the City will seek additional authorization for any necessary contracts at that time. BUSINESS EQUITY - an M/WBE goal is not assigned when purchasing from an approved purchasing cooperative or other public entity. FUNDING - Currently, there is $42,593,019.00 in the City's budget in capital projects across multiple funds citywide for the purpose of funding fleet acquisitions. Prior to each purchase agreement or contract being executed, staff will confirm that funding is available for that purchase and is appropriated for that purpose. All existing contracts shall be amended or terminated to release encumbered funds to ensure that the City is able to make purchases with the vendors that have needed items available for purchase on a rolling basis. No guarantee has been or will be made to any vendor regarding minimum purchases. FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current capital budgets, as previously appropriated, in the Vehicle and Equip Replacement Fund, W&S Capital Projects Fund, Stormwater Capital Projects Fund, Municipal Airport Capital Proj Fund, Solid Waste Capital Projects Fund, CCPD Capital Projects Fund, ITS Capital Fund, Fleet Capital Projects Fund, Environmental Prot Cap Proj Fund, Tax Note 2019 Fund and Tax Note 2020 Fund to support the approval of the above recommendation for the purchase of vehicles and equipment. Prior to any expenditures being incurred, the Property Management Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
