TK110HT Quote
Weld County TK110HT Quote.pdf
not click links or open;attachme,
Fransisco,
The attached quote is the one that I sent over for the TK110HT that you are wanting to order. The quote
does show the TK80HT as a starting point on the specs. This is just Trail King's way of building the quote
in their system. The trailer will start as a two axle TK80HT and when the third axle is added the trailer then
becomes a TK110HT in their quoting system.
You are ordering the TK110HT and that is what the quote is for.
Let me know if you need me to change anything. I would prefer not to have to change the quote
nomenclature, but will if that is what the county requires.
Let me know if I can help out in anyway. Thanks.

Provide a brief history of your company,
including your company's core values,
business philosophy, and industry longevity
related to the requested equipment, products
or services.
Trail King Industries began in 1974, primarily as a distributor and sales
representative for manufacturers of agricultural equipment. As the 1970's drew to a
close, the company's emphasis shifted away from the distribution of ag-related
equipment in order to focus exclusively on the manufacture of Trail King Trailers.
This focus on trailers, led to an expanded product line that included trailers
designed not only to address construction -related applications, but to meet the
needs of the Commercial and Specialized Hauling markets as well. In 2000, Trail
King further expanded it product offerings with the purchase of Red River
Manufacturing, based in West Fargo, ND. Red River had a well -deserved reputation
for manufacturing outstanding live bottom, side & bottom dump trailers for the
agricultural, waste, and construction industries.
Trail King was acquired by CC Industries, Inc. (CCI) in 2010. CCI is headquartered
in Chicago, IL and is the holding and management company for the Crown families
privately held operating companies. This acquisition afforded Trail King the expertise
and support necessary to enhance Trail King's long-term strategic growth as North
America's leading specialized trailer manufacturer.
In 2015 Trail King acquired Dakota Trailer Manufacturing located in Yankton, SD.
This added grain hopper trailers for the agriculture market to the Trail King product
portfolio.
Trail King's mission is to build the best trailers in the world for our customers'
success. We accomplish this through our values of embracing change, investing in
people, planning, and acting with facts, caring for the customer, and going the extra

sections, and blades.

Table 13: Audit and Administrative Fee
r
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.
Our dealers are required to provide the name of the
purchasing entity and any affiliations they have before an
order is accepted by Trail King Industries.
Trail King's District Sales Managers along with our Dealer
Sales Representatives that prepare quotes for our customers,
go thru training on the Sourcewell quote process and
requirement obligations. This includes verifying customer
eligibility and flagging each opportunity that qualifies on the
quote provided to Sourcewell customer. All pricing is
manually verified upon order placement and again at time of
invoice to identify any potential discrepancies. All orders
received by Trail King are coded by customer type. In the
case of this contract, all orders will be coded as govemment
and then verified again against the Sourcewell membership
list. We run quarterly reports for orders invoiced and
flagged as govemment and compare the customers on this
list with members listed on Sourcewell's website. Internally
we run reports every month and identify any discrepancies
before it is time to report our quarterly numbers and pay
administrative fee to Sourcewell. The reporting and auditing
process is administered by Trail King Industries corporate
67
If you are awarded a contract, provide a few examples of intemal
metrics that will be tracked to measure whether you are having
success with the contract.
If awarded a new contract, some of the internal metrics that
Trail King Industries will track to measure success are:
1) New members using our Sourcewell contract.
2) Number and ratio of formal bids that are being
requested by our Sourcewell eligible customers,
along with the number of orders placed.
3) Market share, Industry specific data.
4) Customer demographics: (ex. City, county,
municipality, k-12, university, state agency) and
location.
5) Sales revenue growth, along with continued
training for 100% of District Sales Managers on
benefits and use of 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.)
Trail King Industries proposes an administrative fee structure
of no more than 2%. This proposed discount will allow Trail
King to offer additional incentives to Sourcewell members to
better meet the customers constrained budgets and better
meet the competitive situations in markets of opportunity.

PROPOSER AFFIDAVIT AND ASSURANCE OF COMPLIANCE
I certify that I am the authorized representative of the Proposer submitting the foregoing Proposal with the legal authority to bind the
Proposer to this Affidavit and Assurance of Compliance:
1. The Proposer is submitting this Proposal under its full and complete legal name, and the Proposer legally exists in good standing in
the jurisdiction of its residence.

directly or indirectly entered into any agreement or arrangement with any person or business in an effort to influence any part of
this solicitation or operations of a resulting contract; and the Proposer has not taken any action in restraint of free trade or

solicitation.
4. To the best of its knowledge and belief, and except as otherwise disclosed in the Proposal, there are no relevant facts or
circumstances which could give rise to an organizational conflict of interest. An organizational conflict of interest exists when a
