~, <br />Kimble's bid includes all anticipated taxes and fees as required. If there is any unanticipated <br />increase or decrease in taxes or government fees during the term of this contract, it is Kimble's <br />intention that the increase, or decrease, will be passed on to the Village on a dollar for dollar <br />basis, and that compensation for any increase in fees will not be unreasonably withheld by the Village. <br />Kimble's "Price for Additional Cart" provided on Bid Form 3, is based on Kimble maintaining <br />ownership of the cart and providing delivery, repair, maintenance, and replacement as required. <br />The one-time price quoted is firm regardless of the length of time the cart is in the possession of <br />the resident. <br />In terms of other factors in selection of the "lowest and best" bid, we encourage the City to <br />consider the following: <br />Compressed Natural Gas Trucks -Kimble will use refuse and recycling trucks powered <br />by compressed natural gas (CNG). This is an advantage that our competition does not <br />currently offer. With 23% less emissions than diesel trucks, the cleaner burning CNG <br />vehicles will result in cleaner air for Mayfield Village neighborhoods. The investment by <br />Kimble in CNG fueling and equipment also enables utilization of a local natural resource, <br />reduced dependency on foreign oil, and cleaner burning trucks to improve the <br />environment. The CNG trucks are also significantly quieter than diesel trucks, for less <br />disruption to Village residents. The utilization of CNG vehicles gives the Kimble bid a <br />decided advantage, with real and added environmental and economic benefits to the <br />Village and its residents. <br />• Two-Day Pickup on Monday-Tuesday -Kimble will complete all refuse and recycling <br />collection in just two days each week. Limiting refuse and recycling collection to just <br />two days per week will enhance both the safety and esthetics of the Village. <br />If selected by the Village, Kimble will execute mutually acceptable contract agreements and <br />subsequently proceed with their timely implementation. Thank you for the opportunity to submit <br />our bid to continue serving the residents of Mayfield Village. <br />Sincerely, <br />/r <br />Keith B. Kimble <br />President <br />
