Response* In December 2024 our parent company, Alamo Group Inc, set up Alamo Group Ag Americas LLC with the purpose of inerging the brands Bush Hog, RhinoAg, and Dixie Chopper under one company. This merger became effective on January 1, 2025, as Alamo Group Ag Americas LLC dba Bush Hog, RhinoAg, Dixie Chopper. The change ensured better alignment of our operations while maintaining the distinct identities of our three trusted brands. With the change we consolidated into two manufacturing facilities, 1)2501 Griffin Ave, Selma, AL and 2)6302 E County Road 100 N, Coatesville, IN. We established one sales and support team that handles all three brands with the respected brand dealers. We invoice under one EIN and have Bid Number: RFP 032525 Vendor Name: Alamo Group Ag Americas LLC Docusign Envelope ID: 5C8AD785-3CEB-483D-93DF-9A28D6DA4893 one Accounts Payable. We know this change brings added value to Sourcewell members as our overall support will be streamlined and our combined product knowledge and expertise is in one location which gives members access to information quicker and by a single contact for all three brands. Bush Hog was established in Selma Alabama in 1951 with a tractor-pulled implement designed to clear pasture and crop residue. Our first product was the Model 12, a five-foot wide rotary cutter that became the "bread and butter" of the Bush Hog Company. It was the first such device of its kind, featuring a three-point lift and a stump jumper, with swinging blades that would fold back if they hit rocks or other heavy objects, it revolutionized how farmers managed their fields. Today we are one of the leading North American manufacturers of rotary cutters, finishing mowers, landscape tools, and tractor-mounted implements used in the agricultural and government markets. Our products have earned an enviable reputation for their ruggedness and durability in the most challenging work environments. Bush Hog was purchased by Alamo Group Inc in October 2009. Today our products are assembled using both robotic and well-trained hand welders before being painted in a state-of- the-art powder coat paint system within our modern, 500,000 square foot automated production facility, with 330 employees in Selma Alabama. Many Bush Hog products in use today are more than 30 years old. Bush Hog products mow more than 30,000,000 acres per year! RhinoAg's history started as Servis Equipment Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Austin Bridge Company in 1930 focused on maintaining equipment for the Austin Bridge construction companies by designing and manufacturing equipment such as rollers, packers, and road graders. Production of farm equipment began in late 1945. In 1947 Servis produced the first tractor-mounted rotary stalk shredder which was mounted on the front of the tractor and allowed the farmer to shred and plow in one pass. The first pull-type mower/shredder was produced in 1948. New products in the 1950's included the Whirlwind Terracer plow, Gyro 84 rotary mower, Lone Star blade, and box scrapers. The Lone Star was the first tractor rear mounted blade having mainframe swing, moldboard pivot, and moldboard tilt adjustment capabilities built in. In 1969 Servis patented the first four-gearbox flex-wing rotary cutter. Until then, all flex-wing cutters featured only three gearboxes. The four-gearbox design enabled the wings to be raised without damaging the wing drivelines. Today, the four-gearbox design is used by the majority of competitors. In the 1970's Austin Products, Inc. was chartered as the manufacturing arm of Austin Industries consisting of Servis as the Dallas Division. July 1, 1981 Austin Products, Inc. became Rhino Products, Inc. Alamo Group Inc purchased the assets of Rhino Products, Inc. in 1986. The Group purchased BMB, Inc in Kansas to obtain much needed manufacturing capacity for the Rhino product line and Temple Manufacturing Company to provide a line of posthole diggers. Today Rhino products are sold throughout the world and are well respected for their dependability and performance. The product line includes rotary and flail mowers and cutters, rear blades, posthole diggers, pasture renovators, tillers, disc mowers, and box blades. In the fall of 2019 Dixie Chopper was acquired and incorporated into the manufacturing and multiple business functions of RhinoAg LLC. Founded in 1980, Dixie Chopper revolutionized the entire lawn and garden industry by providing the first zero-turn lawn mowers built specifically for commercial mowing contractors. Known as "The World's Fastest Lawn Mower," Dixie Chopper continues to lead the industry in innovation and quality with ten product families providing solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial mowing, remote controlled applications, and mini skid steer requirements. Dixie Chopper is an iconic brand and provides both a range of products and channel coverage that will complement and enhance our Bush Hog and RhinoAg platforms for growth. The 130,000 square foot manufacturing facility is located at 6302 E County Road 100 N, Coatesville Indiana, with our products being supported by over 25 local employees along with the full support of everyone in Selma Alabama. At Alamo Group Ag Americas we recognize, value, and respect the individual differences of our employees, customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders. We believe that a diverse set of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives is crucial to our ability to continue to innovate, collaborate, and meet the needs of our global workforce and customers.

Alamo Group Ag Americas has a sales team managing their respected territories in North America, of which all are employees of the company. This management team, each selling all our brands, consists of our VP of Sales and Marketing, 5 District Managers, and 32 US Territory Managers and 4 Territory Managers in Canada. This team is supported by our inside teams of Accounting and Credit, Marketing, Customer Service, Service Warranty, Engineering, Purchasing, Manufacturing, and Shipping. We also partner with a third party dedicated to handling our government contract, administration, and training. Our full sales support gives our dealers and members access to a wealth of experience to tap into for our products and services. We extend our sales team by utilizing more than 3500 independent dealer locations as our first line support to members. This model allows the member to have local contacts that are fully supported and backed by our factory teams. This streamlined approach gives members the one-stop method of purchasing while having access to all the information, knowledge, and experience needed from the factory to make good decisions. To go a step further, we allow our authorized dealers to accept member purchase orders made out to the local dealer to keep the purchasing process easy and simple for the member. Our dealers use our contract pricing during the quote and sales process and have the flexibility of trade-ins and financing which the factory does not offer. The entire transaction can be done with one purchase order. The dealer reports all details of the sale to us to complete our Sourcewell contract audit process. (Attachments: Line26, AGAA Sales Team Listing & Maps, Line26,Sample Online Sales Support for Contracts, Line26, Sample Online Training Videos) An important key sales objective (KSO) for us is our Territory Managers meet with each of their dealers every 4-6 weeks. This allows for training, inventory management, continuous communications on factory and product information, and for the sales team to understand where the dealer service level is in relation to members. Our factory teams will step in to support the local dealer whenever requested or when we see it would aid in giving the member a greater base of information and support. At the end of the day, we take the approach that we are 100% responsible in making sure every member is treated fairly with the highest standards and with the best team available. Our factory team is involved in every government sale with our dealers. 27 Describe the network of Authorized Sellers who will deliver Solutions, including dealers, distributors, resellers, and other distribution methods. The training we provide to our factory and dealer sales teams are continuous, we do not offer a one-and-done format. Our training educates the teams in how to successfully compete and close sales when working with the agencies and the Sourcewell contract. We highly recommend attending the training Sourcewell provides, and we publish in our weekly newsletters the upcoming classes. Our government team takes every opportunity when working with sales and members to discuss the value the contract affords them. We also direct our sales teams to the online videos Sourcewell has published to keep the information in front and available to review at any time. In our dealer portal we have a Sourcewell landing page which provides all the materials, forms, and information the sales teams need to help members purchase through the Sourcewell contract. Our three brands; Bush Hog, Dixie Chopper, and RhinoAg have been around for 74, 95, and 45 years respectively and we have learned local contacts and local presence is what is required to give the members their best experience when purchasing our products. Over the many years we have invested time in selecting the best-in-class independent dealers and training them to represent our products. We have built long- lasting and trusted relationships with our dealers. At present our dealers represent one of our brands. As we get further down the road with our recent merger of the three brands we will determine if this model needs to change. As a result of the excellent relationships we have with our dealers we authorize our dealers to use our Sourcewell contract and receive purchase orders from members made out directly to the dealer.

If orders will be handled by distributors, dealers or others, explain the respective roles of the Proposer and others. Our service support and sales force may overlap at times as they are trained to be the first line of support when service to the equipment is needed. Our dealers are trained to work on our equipment and most have service trucks that can go out into the field to handle service work. There are times our sales force or one of our factory technicians will go out with the dealer to the equipment to determine how to get it back up and running quickly. We will bring it back to the dealer or to the factory when that is what it will take to fix the equipment. Part of our factory support includes our Engineering department. Our engineers will assist in troubleshooting anytime called upon and travel to the member when that is what it will take to get to a solution. We work with our dealers when the member needs a loaner unit while theirs is being repaired. Our goal and attention are placed on building the product correctly and with the best materials available to keep service requirements to a minimum. We do this by having the equipment stop 3 times during production for a complete quality inspection prior to it being released for shipment. We have online resources available to our dealers to help them perform service work. Our dealers are trained to contact us if they are not able to reach solutions quickly. Our Territory Managers and factory teams are instrumental in helping our dealers daily get equipment back on the job for the members.

Examples of the testing we perform are bump testing, thrown object testing, blade impact and blade balance testing, lighting and marking testing and many others. Another unique attribute is we have two patents; 8601868 and 9903463, covering the oil site gauge on the side of our gearboxes. This site gauge improves maintenance by ensuring the proper oil level. We found if your only option is to use a dipstick, the oil level is not often checked daily, and this can cause problems. The side oil site gauge eliminates these issues and helps extend the life of the unit. A unique attribute with select Dixie Chopper mowers, which comes standard, is our operator-controlled discharge chute, OCDC, to open and close the discharge chute for added safety of people and property from material exiting the deck. Alamo Group Inc. and their 40+ global brands concentrated in the manufacturing of equipment for the sustaining of industrial, vegetation, and agriculture spaces have an unwavering commitment to safety of products and people. This culture is driven from the top down and bottom up and extends to our dealers, customers, and citizens. The Alamo Group Ag Americas products meet or exceed safety standards. Our rotary cutter models are equipped with safety enclosures to guard against thrown objects while mowing, blades are separated by distance from the perimeter of the cutter. Most flex-wings come with specific features like a Perma-Level+ hitch which has rollover and clevis stops to protect against pinching hazards, deck locks to secure wings in the upright position while transporting, shields provide 360-degree driveline protection, and aluminum knurled hydraulic hose handles are slip-resistant. All commercial Dixie Chopper mowers have a ROPS and belt/pulley covers for added safety and as mentioned previously select mowers are equipped with our operator- controlled discharge chute, OCDC, to open and close the discharge chute for added safety of people and property from material exiting the deck. Our Bush Hog patent pending driveline assist reduces operator effort by lifting and holding heavy weight CV drivelines during attachment, ergonomic handles resist slipping when attaching and removing hydraulic hoses, and patent pending dual axle suspension reduces shock loads by up to 51 % for an improvement operators can feel in the tractor seat. All Dixie Chopper mowers have adjustable seats for optimal seat location. Select models offer adjustable steering levers and ISO seat pans for added operator comfort.

Our oil site gauge on the side of the gearboxes ensures the proper oil level (parts availability, warranty, and without having to go through the process of using a dipstick. With our zero-turn mowers we technical support, etc.). have very open workspaces around the engine and remote mounted hydraulic filters for easier service. In addition, we have spindle fans on top of the pulleys to naturally cool the belts and spindles while keeping the top side of the deck clean of debris and clippings. All models feature removeable floor pans and pulley covers to offer easy cleaning and maintenance. When service is required, the members have access to both their local dealer and our factory teams. Warranty work is administered through the members local, authorized dealer. The assessment will be made to dispatch the dealer's service truck out to the equipment or if the equipment needs to be brought into the dealer's garage for additional diagnostics. If the dealer needs parts, they do not have in stock, we will ship parts overnight from the factory. Factory technical support is readily available to the dealer to assist in the troubleshooting and to determine the proper repair. A factory technician will also be dispatched if the dealer requires assistance. To obtain warranty service, the equipment must be registered by an authorized Alamo Group Ag Americas dealer. Warranty coverage is provided with the Operators Manual and breaks down and validates each area covered by our limited warranty and provides the warranty period. All our warranty policies are reviewed with the member prior to a purchase. General maintenance of the equipment is the sole responsibility of the owner.

Presently we have Limited Warranty policies for each of our brands. (Attachments: Line48, Bush Hog, Dixie Chopper, RhinoAg Limited Warranty Policies) Our dealers are required to stock a minimum parts inventory to remain an active dealer. We recommend the inventory based on fast moving and suggested parts lists according to the volume of sales the dealer has achieved. Our goal is for the member to receive their parts order within 24 hours of placing the order. This goal applies to our dealer and factory. At the factory, we routinely achieve a 95% fill rate on service parts within 24 hours of receiving the order.

We are available at every step to assist members and dealers when required. If the members go through our dealer, payment terms and payment methods are agreed upon between the customer and the dealer. Some of our dealers accept Pcards, checks, ACH and wires for payment and provide extended terms beyond our standard Ts and Cs noted in the contract.

The majority of our dealers will use a quote form provided to them by Alamo Group Ag Americas which clearly states the member number, contract number, and the discount provided in our Sourcewell contract for the product being quoted. Our dealers will be trained that if they use their own quote form the member number, contract number, and the discount must be easily identified on their form.

In the eastern provinces, we use one of our largest dealers as a distributor to help keep costs down and provide quicker deliveries. Offshore deliveries will work similar to our process in Canada but specific to the final destination requirements. We do not have any unique distribution or delivery methods. Our goal is to get the product to the member as quickly as possible and � at a fair delivery rate. The member may choose to arrange and pay for their own transportation at any time with our assistance. We have developed a process to track our government sales to include those going through a contract and those going through a 3- bid process.

Our Territory Managers are involved in every government sale, and they have been trained on what is required to comply with our � tracking and fee payment process and in making sure the Sourcewell price book and discount schedule are being used. We are unable to place an order or provide the extra discount in our factory system without the required documents.

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.
