Provide a bref history of your company, including your Daimler Truck North America (DTNA), including Freightliner and Westem Star truck brands, is the leading manufacturer
company's core values, business philosophy, and industry of Class 6-8 commercial vehicles in North America, holding approximately 40, share of the market. The company is
longevity related to the requested equipment, products ar services. dedicated to serving "all who keep the word moving" and this simple statement of purpose reflects what we believe to
be our integral place in the global supply chain. Whether moving foodstuffs from farms [o grocery store shelves, goods
from manufacturers to markets, or children to school, every single one of our products — while driven by a single
individual — is ultimately making a difference in the lives of thousands, and our commitment to those customers
operating those vehicles is steadfast and unwavering.
As a subsidiary of the global Daimler Truck, we trace our company's history back to Germany of the late 19th century
and the :oiliest days of the engine, as well % the very invention of the truck. From our eariiesl days, partnerships
were Cora to our business strategy, with two German inventors and businessmen — Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz —
founding the original Daimler-Benz The company would continue to evove and grow over the course of a century to
become Daimler AG, at one time the world's largest industrial manufacturing conglomerate, and producer of both heavy
trucks and the luxurious line of Mercedes-Benz cars.
In late 2021, Daimler AG spun off these businesses into two separate entities. Today, Mercedes-Benz cars remain the
benchmark of modem automotive luxury, while Daimler Truck provides solutions that support the global supply chain.
Govemed by a diverse Board of Management, Daimler Truck's perspective for the future is heavily influenced by our
purpose statement, "For All Who Keep the World Moving." And the company intends to maintain its leading position in
conventionally powered trucks and buses while simultaneously transforming its product line for a future of CO. -neutral
transportation.
In nearly every country of the world today, you will find trucks and buses from one of our company's brands. In North
America, those vehicle brands include Freightliner and Western Star trucks and Thomas Built Buses. The company's
portfolio on the continent is further strengthened by Detroit®, a vertically integrated manufacturer of Daimler Truck's
proprietary engines, transmissions, axles, and other components and technologies for both conventional and zero -
emission vehicles.
Our company's proud 130 -year history is not only a testament to our resilience, but also emblematic of how
partnerships with our wstomers and our vision for the future help drive toward a common good: good for us, good for
our customers, good for society. Even as we've evolved our trucks and buses — and as we continue to evolve their
underlying propulsion technologies — we continue to partner with our customers to enable them to keep our Wodd
moving. We look forward to having the chance to continue delivering on that purpose for many more centuries to
come.

Describe any product, equipment, maintenance, or operator
training programs that you offer to Sourcewell participating entities.
Include details, such as whether training is standard or optional,
who provides training, and any costs that apply.
DTNA provides dealer training on all products, features, benefits, maintenance procedures, and their proper operation.
The dealer is responsible for providing that same training to the end customer (as required) for successful operation_
This training is typically provided during the delivery hand off process. ng also have a free app that can be
downloaded on a smartphone or tablet that has brochures, news, training videos, dealer locator, and access to DTNA
websites. The training videos can be accessed for all models and options or can be filtered to only show the ones
specific to your VIN.
DTNA also provides product training opportunities to customers and our Truck Equipment Manufacturer (TEM) partners,
many of whom are already established as Sourcewell vendor partners. An example of this is our Detroit Conned
Analytics, which provides usersw th on -demand, automated analysis and reports detailing fuel efficiency, safety, and
performance data. This information can be utilized by municipal fleets to reduce costs and increase safe performance
across the fleet. DTNA provides monthly live training we'7R and munple in person classes. DTNA also has online
service training through our Aftermarket ResourceCenter (ARC). This includes service information and programming
options wth our Custom Hardware and Electronic Configurator (CHEC) tool that allows you to add safety features to
the truck. An example of a programmable feature is the ability to limit the truck speed with a dump body in the up
poste n and automatically triggering the strobe lights to warn others nearby. Another useful tool is our online Technical
Resource Guides (TRG). These guides can help you team how to order, conned, program, and use many of our
notable features.
Another advantage DTNA offers is our unique status as a supplier of integrated transportation solutions. As such, we
are uniquely able pt offer OEM levels of training on our proprietary Detroit products including engines, transmissions,
axles, and safety equipment.
Many of these training options are free or at an incredibly low cost. The training and any costs associated will be
dependent upon joint discussions between the dealer and customer as to what is required and the most effective for
their individual needs.
41
Describe any nological advances that your proposed products
or services offer.tech
Dependent upon the model specified, DTNA offers a full suite of safety systems on our products via proprietary and
vendor partner supplied sources.ln this fashion, your members can soled the system that best integrates into their
fleet operations.
• Active Brake Assist (ABA 5) mitigates potential collisions by calculating irudk speed and distance to other
vehicles. This determines 'd a warning a braking adios is needed. Full Baking on Movirg Pedestrian can detect a
person who is about to walk into the truck's path. It issues audio and visual warnings with simultaneous partial
braking first, followed by full braking if the driver does not read. Full Braking on moving and stationary vehidescan
identify moving or stationary vehicles in the truck's path. When the system detects a potential obstacle, it issues audio
and visual warnings. Depending on the situation, partial and full baking may activate :tit!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) to 0 MPH automatically adjusts a truck's cruising speed to maintain a safe
following distance from other vehicles. With the ability to remain in cruise control longer, drivers experience less
fatigue throughout the day, keepirxg them more alert. ACC works in stopand go traffic, too. When the vehicle in front
of your truck begins to slow, even to a stop, your truck will stop and hold its brakes. If the stop is less than two
seconds, you will start moving again once the vehicle in front of you moves. For stops longer than two seconds, the
driver can easily resume motion by engaging the throttle or pushing seUresurne.
• Side Guard Assist (SGA) alerts drivers of objects in their passenger -side blind spots. As a passive collision
mitigation system, SGA will not de -throttle or stop your vehicle. Instead, it keeps the driver r control. fl the truck's
passenger side gets too close to a moving person or object, the system will wam the driver not to complete the right
rum or make aright -hand lane change.
Intelligent Hgh Beam a emaanZYt switches a trudCs headlights from high to low beams when the system detects
environmental light from cities or another vehicle's headlights or taillights. Oncethe vehicle br city'I'ghts are out of
sight, high beams switch balk on.
▪ Automatic Wipers/Headlampstum wipers and headlights on or off to match weather and lighting conditions. Wiper
and headlight controls must be set to auto for this to work.
Tailgate Warning issues visible alerts on the dash as well as sounds when the truck's following distance. is too
short in relation to its speed for 10 seconds or longer. Onceactivated, Tailgate Warning will deactivate only when the
trudk reduces its speed to less than 20 miles per hour. Remaining in Tailgate Warning mode for 10 seconds or
longer will make the event reportable to the selected telematics system.
• Lane Departure Warning issues audio and visual alerts when a truck crosses lane markers without using a rum
signal.
• Traffic Sign Displayuses a camera to read speed limit and other traffic signs. From here, the system conveniently
displays relevant sign irrfortnatlon in the instrument duster.
Forward Faring Video Capture utilizes a tack's front -facing camera to record the vehicle's activity before, during
and after severe traffic events. This technology provides fleets with better insight into what occurs due nab
so
they areeasier to prevent in the future. Forward -Faring Video Capture footage can be accessed via web portal,
along with accompanying data and vehide parameters.
• The Driver -Facing Camera captures video footage of diners before, during and after severe traffic events. This
footage, along wsh other vehicle parameter data, is transmitted via web portal to provide fleet operations and safety
personnel better insight into driver reactions during events.
• Active Speed Intervention (ASI) is an optional, industry -first technology that is designed to deter operators from
speeding and to help new operators adopt safe driving practices. This feature works with Traffic Sign Display to issue
a passive awhen the driver exceeds the speed limit. If the operator does not respond, ASI MI Issue an active lert
waming, and if necessary, will cancel Adaptive Cruise Control and de-throttie the trudk.
• Brake Hold Mode improves safety and comfortwherever work happens. This feature keeps the truck
stopped
when the operator removes their foot from the brake pedal, or 'rf their foot slips off while the truck is at rest.

Describe any "green" initiatives that relate to your company or to
your products or services, and include a list of the certifying
agency for each.
The overarching ambition of Daimler Truck is to offer for sale by 2039 exclusively those vehicles which are CO:-
neutral (in driving operation) in core markets of North America, the EU and Japan. This strategic goal has led to the
market introduction of 10 unique battery electnc vehicles available across the globe today, four of which are available
in North America. The company has received the awards noted in response to question 16 for the latter of these.
In addition, because the advent of new propulsion technologies requires a supporting ecosystem with which to refuel
or recharge those vehides, the company has been highly active in both the construction of that ecosystem, as well as
bringing multiple parties to consensus on the future of that ecosystem.
As an example of this and to learn from firsthand experience, the company built the first -of -its -kind public charging
station for battery electric medium- and heavy-duty vehicles in partnership with local utility Portland General Electric in
2021. "Electric Island", ask is known, has also become the blueprint for a joint venture the company has entered into
with NextEra Energy and BlackRock Climate Infrastructure. This JV, named GreenlaneT" will break ground on its first
commercial vehicle charging station later in 2024.
While there are a large number of transportation companies, including an OEM like Daimler Truck North America,
committed to vehicle electrification, the intersection of transportation and energy requires the increase by orders of
magnitude in the generation and distribufion of energy. To help navigate the complex and highly varied rules
surrounding eledric utilities, local building requirements and state and federal impediments to constructing these
charging networks, Daimler Truck North America served as one of the founding members of Powering America's
Corm n l Transportation (PACT) advocacy organization. PACT was formally announced it January of 2024 and is
an example of how the company has continued its leadership position as new technologies emerge.
The founding of PACT also builds on the eariier appointment in 2023 of Daimler Truck North America's head of
eMoitt Rakesh AtN to the Electric Vehicle Working Group. The EVWG is an effort by the Joint Office of Energy
and Transportation to work on the integration of light-, medium- and heavy-duty eledric vehides into the U.S.
transportation and energy systems.

Identify any thid-party issued eco-labels, ratings or certifications
that your company has received for the equipment or products
nduded in your Proposal related to energy efficiency or
conservation, Iffe-cycle design (cradle -to -cradle), or other
green/sustainability factors.
Sustainable production and a drive for CO: -neutrality in the driving operation of our products are prime areas of focus
for the company. For three consecufive years (2019 - 2022), the company's vertically integrated engine and
components manufacturer Detroit® has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy for earning Platinum Level
SEP 50001 certification for energy conservation in manufacturing.
In 2020, the Portland T udk Manufactur ng Plant in Portland, Oregon, which is home to production of the popular
Western Star X -Series and the company's battery eledric Freightliners, became the first facility in the company's
global network to achieve CO: -neutral production, with the company aiming for all of its North American new vehicle
manufacturing plants to follow. And all of the company's manufacturing locations are zero -waste to landfill.
The company's global ambition is to offer exclusively CO: -neutral (in driving operation) new vehicles for sale by 2039
in North America, the EU and Japan. Around the worid, the company already offers for sale 10 different battery
electric models, four of which — including the Freightliner eCascadia and eM2 — are available in North America. All
models are HVIP eligible and both Freightliner models have received numerous awards, including the "Clean Air

documentation of certification (as applicable) in the document
upload section of your response.
Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) is a publicly traded company and does not qualify for provisions identified in
this question. Our products are complex; and the scale of our manufacturing volumes require that we source from
vendors who can support those production volumes. However, we have a Supplier Diversity Program in its second
year that actively sources diverse suppliers as tier 1 suppliers for DTNA. This extends beyond our tier 1 supply -base
to tracking our tier 2 and 3 diverse spend as well. Our tier 1 diverse suppliers are tracked through our procurement
system and tier 2 spend is tracked through STARS database. We have established diverse spending targets with the
goal of 10% diverse spend t4 2030. Efforts to attract diverse suppliers include hosting an annual Supplier Diversity
events, launching a Supplier Diversity webpage and integrating Supplier Diversity into standard procurement processes.
DTNA has a comprehensive ESG program with targets for each pillar. Our supplier diversity efforts fall under our ESG
umbrella.
Additionally, DTNA has been a major supporter of the Women In Trucking (WIT) network and has been recognized as
a `Best Place to Work for Women' by WIT. Our diversity efforts extend to bringing in the best employees through
extensive hiring and recruiting partnerships including 'Society for Women Engineers', 'Society for Asian Scientists and
Engineers', 'National Society for Black Engineers' and 'Society for Hispanic Professional Engineers'. We have also
supported many hiring initiatives for veterans in our facilities as well as our customers — IE: supporting the "Ride of
Pride" trucks that one of our customers customizes each year to support our veterans. Ultimately our goal is to utilize
our vast resources to be a good partner to the communities we serve and operate in.

What unique attributes does your company, ycur products, or your
services offer to Sourcewell participating entities? What makes
your proposed solutions unique in your industry as it applies to
Sou P ell partidpating entities?
While there are several unique propositions that we can offer Sourcewell's participating entities (which we describe in
detail further below), a deep-seated belief in partnership is what differentiates our company, and it is what has
allowed us to eam our position as the leading manufacturer (by market share) of Class 6-8 commercial vehicles in
North America. With every interaction, we partner with our customers to understand their specific needs and enable
their success.
That theme of paMership begins in our vehide development process. We benefit our customers both by leveraging
the technologies of cur global company and then tai rg those technologies it the individual markets we serve. In
that tailoring process, we seed early development units with select customers to monitor and measure real -world
performance before a vehide is released to full production. Recent examples of this approach can be found in our
Westem Star X -Series (first launched late 2020) development, where our engineers embedded alongside our
customers to iterate and refine the final product design to their specific demands. As a case in point of the lengths
that were taken, we measured the specific roads - and sometimes the unpaved trails — these customers travelled
down to the mAlimeter and then recreated those road surfaces at our own 87 -acre proving grounds to replicate
decades' worth of use in matter of months. The end result was increased durability of the truck, uptime for the
customer, as well as comfort for the driver.
Similarly, and specific to our 'tend'
proprietary engines, transmission and associated components, we take a
partnership approach to understand our customers' needs and tailor global powertrains to specific North American
needs. Asa case in point and also for the Westem Star X -Series, we were aware - thanks to partnership with our
customers and firsthand interviews - of the propensity for new drivers to get studs in loose sand and gravel when
driving in quarries or on jobsites. Our engineers then used that problem statement to tailor our global transmission
with a specific 'Rock Free' mode to modulate power and allow a driver to remove themselves from a stuck situation.
This translates to saved time, effort and profitability of customer operations from having to source another vehide or
backhoe to dislodge a studs vehide.
The partnership approach can also be found in the development of our safety systems, telematics suite and myriad
other technologies, but the rubber truly meets the road when the vehicles are in our customers' hands and require
planned maintenance or unplanned repair. In these situations, it is critically important to return trucks to the road as
quickly as possible to keep perishable cargo moving or get custom critical freight where it's going. The unique
proposition we offer for our service network is a partnership with more than 448 franchised dealers, further
supplemented by more service points through select Loves and Speedco locations. This vast service point coverage,
backed by a network of 10 strategically located parts distribution centers which average greater than 90% next -day
order fulfilment, mean we keep our customers running with maximum vehide uptime.
It is our belief that this long -cultivated focus on partnerships stands to benefit Sourowell's participating entities.

Do your warranties impose usage restrictions or other limitations
that adversely affect coverage?
Warranty coverages vary, based upon a product's specific coverage limitations. DTNA warrants that each new vehide
will be free from defects in material and workmanship that occur under normal use within the applicable warranty
period, subject to certain limitations and exclusions as spedfied in the warranty documents included in our submission
to Sourcewell. Coverage includes all components and parts unless specifically covered by other warranties or otherwise
excluded by those documents. DTNA warranty coverages do not apply to equipment added after chassis manufacturing
since those items are outside of our knowledge or control due to the custom nature of the final product in question.
Specific details of any coverage pertaining to those items will need to be confirmed with the selling dealer by the
Sourcewell member.

Do1Yrei warranties cover the expense of technicians' travel time
and mileage b perform warranty repairs?
Due to the complexity of the vehicles sold under this agreement, the majority of the service to be performed on the
equipment will be best undertaken in an authorized DTNA service facility to ensure the highest possible service
standards. In some cases, specific dealerships may offer on -site repair options to Sourcewell members. These offerings
will vary by the size of the market in question and will be constrained in scope by the limitations of a dealer provided
mobile solution. As such, Sourcewell Members should consult the DTNA dealership listings provided in this response to
identify the specific services offered by their local DTNA dealership and the specific financial provisions of those
services offered. Incremental warranties may be purchased by Sourcewell Members to cover this situation at additional
expense. Details of extended warranty coveage and pricing should be negotiated with the selling dealer representative
at time of purchase.
Freightliner and Westem Star customers that have purchased Roadside Assistance or Road Call coverage will have
access to authorized service locations with a well-equipped service truck and an emergency roadside repair (or a
partial repair that would enable driving the unit to the authorized service location). Reasonable travel distance and time
may be reimbursed.
49
Are there any geographic regions of the United States or
Canada (as applicable) for which you cannot provide a certified
technician to perform warranty repairs?
How will Sourcewell participating entities in these regions be
provided service for warranty repair?
DTNA has over 700 service locations strategically located across the United States & Canada, with over 10,000
certified technicians available to perform warranty repairs. With this extensive presence, we do not believe there is a
gap in service coverage.
DTNA also has an available Roadside Assistance Program, and Freightliner ExpressPoint to provide convenient access
to local repairs.
Roadside Assistance Program
DTNA Roadside Assistance Program is a concierge service helping customers handle unexpected downtime with
24/7/365 support. If you need after hours and weekend roadside support, the Freightliner Roadside Assistance Program

instances DTNA dealersand distributors are authorized to perform repairs for components that are warranted directly
by their respective component manufacturer.
51
What are your proposed exchange and mtum programs and
policies?
Exchange or return programs at the OEM level are not typically offered in our industry; and as such are not included in

Describe any standard transaction documents that you propose to
use in connedion with an awarded contract (order forms, terns
and conditions, service level agreements, etc.). Upload a sample
of each (as applicable) in the document upload section of your
response.
As all purchase negotiations and transaction details will take place between an authorized DTNA dealer and the
Sourcewell Member, each independently owned dealer / dealer group will have its own transaction documents. This
said, DTNA has specific Terms of Sale which are to be followed through the dealer ordering process and copies of
the Freightliner and Western Star Terms are attached.
DTNA developed and is utilizing a proprietary web -based Dealer Reservation System (DRS) for managing chassis
customers, as
volume to dealers and tracking orders against said volume. The DRS is beneficial to gel:,
dealers know the volume available to them at time of order as well as the timefInt) they can exiled the unit built.
This allows Members to better coordinate installation of additional equipment on the chassis, as well as work within
their annual budgets. The DRS is a function of our Retail Prospect Management (RPM) tool, which is also a web
based proprietary solution. As this System is completely web -based in nature, DTNA does NOT utilize a
specific "order forth".
In addition, to ensure sales are represented accurately from the dealer, any order placed against an approved
concession is audited to validate the unit was both retail sold, and warcanty registered to the correct customer.
No orders will be accepted by DTNA on a direct sale basis. Please see the attached sample Price Concession
Confirmation letter for details provided for standard approved transactions.

Do you accept the P -card procurement and payment process?
If se, is there any addtonal cost to Sourcewell participating
entities for using this process?
P -Cards are not typically used in this type of commercial transaction. Payment terns will be negotiated between the
selling DTNA dealership and the Sourcewrell member as partof the negotiation of each individual purchase
agreement. Should both parties to that transaction agree to the use of a P -Card that payment process may be
accommodated.

Describe your pricing model (e.g., line -item discounts or product-
category cZcunts).
Provide detailed pricing data (including standard or list pricing
and the Sourcewell discounted price) on all of the items that you
want Sourcewell to consider as part of your RFP response.
If applicable, provide a SKU for each item in your proposal,
Upload your picing materials (if applicable) in the document
upload section of your response.
DTNA (Freightliner and Westem Star Trucks) pricing is generated by our proprietary spec'ing and prang software,
SpecPro. Based on individual Member needs, a custom specification is created and subsequent MSRP (List Price)
generated. Member pricing is then calculated as a function of MSRP (List Price), specific standard and optional
content of each vehicle, then discounted accordingly, per the Sourcewell Discount matrix attached. Any / all
surcharges, extended warranty(s) and freight charge, as noted in the pricing attachment, will be added after the
Member discount(s) and are non -discountable. DTNA will offer discounts from our MSRP (List price) baseline via a
sales program marketed to all dealerships in the US & Canada. This discount will be differentiated at the model level
to best address the market segments being quoted. Percentage based price concessions will be used to consistently
apply the level of discount to the vehicle being quoted. Discounts & applicable currency conversions (i.e. USD to CDN
for Canadian Chassis) will be applied at time of chassis invoice via the use of a sales program code included on
each individual order by the selling dealer. Specific discounting factors can be found in the matrix attached in the
Pricing Document Upload Folder.

Describe any quantity or volume discounts or rebate programs
that you offer.
DTNA recognizes the benefit of the Sourcewell program to its Members and the opportunity it presents DTNA in
providing our products and services to meet Member needs. As such, Sourcewell pricing is set up to provide a
benefit to its Members whether they are purchasing a significant quantity of vehicles or a smaller quantity of one or
two vehicles.
Upon assessing the dynamics of this market, DTNA may choose to periodically incentivize certain models or order
periods to offer buying opportunities that benefit Sourcewell members for a defined period. Our proposed pricing
model easily facilitates this concept through the application of program codes that can be marketed to the DTNA
dealer base and Sourcewell membership pool. Practical application of the specified discount (either flat 5 or % based)
is accomplished by the selling dealer applying a discount code at time of order. Offerings of this type shall be at the
sole discretion of the OEM, but will be promoted jointly by both DTNA & Sourcewell to ensure the broadest possible
distribution of the incentive.
60
Propose a method of facilitating `sourced" products or related
services, which may be referred to rs "open market items
or "nonstandard options'. For example, you may supply such
items "at cost" or "at cost plus a percentage," or you may supply
a quote for each such request.
Recognizing that individual Sourcewell members will have their own unique requests and requirements, those items are
best negotiated between the DTNA dealers and Sourcewell member. The DTNA dealers will provide quotation for
nonstandard options requests.
Nonstandard options, goods and services to include, — but not limited to — truck bodies, trailers, truck equipment,
tools, support devices, parts & maintenance kits, training 8& manuals, software, incremental transport beyond OEM
delivery, and warranties will be priced by the DTNA dealers. Pricing structure will be at dealers' cost plus no more
than an anticipated 5% mark up.
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 Lp, mandatory treining, or initial inspection. Identify
any parties [hat impose such costs and their relationship to the
Proposer.
Common charges may include, but are not limited to, pre -delivery inspection, incremental freight charges associated
with required upfitting, equipment inspection, training or manuals. As Identified in response to question 60 above, any
such costs will be identified in the sales quotation provided by the selling DTNA dealer.
Additionally, applicable Federal, State, Local taxes, fees, title, tag permits, or other miscellaneous requirements are '
NOT included in prices quoted. These line items will be calculated by the selling dealer for the specific items being
sold at time of invoice. It is the responsibility of the Member to provide the selling dealer a valid tax -exemption
certification when appropriate.
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.
Sourcewell pricing as provided includes transportation from the assembly plant to the first specified delivery location
within Canada or the contiguous United States. Additional shipping charges at dealer cost plus n0 more than an
anticipated 5% will be applied to delivery destinations in Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico and other US Territories.
Dependent upon the specifications of the custom vehicle purchased by a Sourcewell Member, incremental '
transportation services may be required as partof the upfitting process such that a completed vehicle can be
delivered. Should the upfit of additional equipment on the truck chassis be part of the agreement between the dealer
and Sourcewell Member, the dealer will define any incremental transportation required and its cost to buyer as part of
quotation.
63
Specifically de."1"e freight, shipping, and delivery terms or
programs available for Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, or any offshore
delivery.
Sourcewell pricing as provided includes transportation from the assembly plant to the first specified delivery lotzticn.
That location mould he a designated port of embarkation on the US or Canadian mainland. Additional ocean, rail,
flatbed, or other transport services that may be required by Sourcewell Members would be priced at the DTNA
dealers cost plus no more than an anticipated 5%.
64
Describe any unique distribution and/or delivery methods or
options offered in your proposal.
• Delivery locations can be changed at any time up until unit has been built into a load at origin build plant allowing
for optimal flexibility in customer delivery planning.
• Current delivery timelines from plant release to specified reveal
elivery location range from 3 — 10 days depending on

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 Contracteach 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.
Upon receiving a PO from a Sourcewell Member, the selling DTNA dealer will place orders for the truck chassis, as
well as any associated equipment required. It is the responsibility of the Sourcewell Member to alert the selling dealer
that they are utilizing their Sourcewell Membership number. Failure to do so may result in incorrect pricing structure to
the Member and payment of the administrative fee to Sourcewell cannot then be guaranteed.
s part of the ordering process the dealer will identify the municipal entity & their Sourcewell membership in the
;au
customer name field for the order (IE: City of Sunnydale / Sourcewell) which is required for the order to be accepted
by DTNA. Additionally, the appropriate program code for Sourcewell discounts must be included so that the authorized
discount structure can be applied to the invoice. These program codes are a searchable field and remain associated
with the serial number generated at time of order.
Based upon these two data points, DTNA will generate a list of trucks reported sold to Sourcewell Members. This
data set will be ver fled by DTNA via intemal audit; and the appropr ate rem ttance sent to Sourcewell on a quarterly
basis.

Addenda, Terms and Conditions
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.
2. The Proposer warrants that the information provided in this Proposal is true, correct, and reliable for purposes of evaluation for contract award.
3. The Proposer, including any person assisting with the creation of this Proposal, has arrived at this Proposal independently and the Proposal has been created without colluding with
any other person, company, or parties that have or will submit a proposal under this solicitation; and the Proposal has in all respects been created fairly without any fraud or dishonesty.
The Proposer has not 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 competitiveness in connection with this solicitation. Additionally, if Proposer has worked with a
consultant on the Proposal, the consultant (an individual or a company) has not assisted any other entity that has submitted or will submit a proposal for this 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 vendor has an unfair competitive advantage or the vendor's objectivity in performing the contract is, or might be,
impaired.
5. The contents of the Proposal have not been communicated by the Proposer or its employees or agents to any person not an employee or legally authorized agent of the Proposer and
will not be communicated to any such persons prior to Due Date of this solicitation.
6. If awarded a contract, the Proposer wil provide to Sourcewell Participating Entities the equipment, products, and services in accordance with the terms, conditions, and scope of a
resulting contract.
7. The Proposer possesses, or will possess before delivering any equipment, products, or services, all applicable licenses or certifications necessary to deliver such equipment, products,
or services under any resulting contract.
S. The Proposer agrees to deliver equipment, products, and services through valid contracts, purchase orders, or means that are acceptable to Sourcewell Members. Unless otherwise
agreed to, the Proposer must provide only new and first -quality products and related services to Sourcewell Members under an awarded Contract.
9. The Proposer will comply with all applicable provisions of federal, state, and local laws, regulations, rules, and orders.
10. The Proposer understands that Sourcewell will reject RFP proposals that are marked "confidential" (or "nonpublic," etc.), either substantially or in their entirety. Under Minnesota
Statutes Section 13.591, subdivision 4, all proposals are considered nonpublic data until the evaluation is complete and a Contract is awarded. At that point, proposals become public
data. Minnesota Statutes Section 13.37 permits only certain narrowly defined data to be considered a "trade secret," and thus nonpublic data under Minnesota's Data Practices Act.
11. Proposer its employees, agents, and subcontractors are not:
1. Included on the "Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons" list maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury
found at: httos://www.treasury.gov/ofac/downloads/sdnlist.odf;
2. Included or the government -wide exclusions lists in the United States System for Award Management found at: httos://sam.gov/SAM/; or
3. Presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from programs operated by the State of Minnesota; the United States federal
governmen: or the Canadian government, as applicable; or any Participating Entity. Vendor certifies and warrants that neither it nor its principals have been convicted of a criminal
offense related to the subject matter of this solicitation.
R By checking this box I acknowledge that I am bound by the terms of the Proposer's Affidavit, have the legal authority to submit this Proposal on behalf of the Proposer, and that this
electronic acknowledgment has the same legal effect, validity, and enforceability as if I had hand signed the Proposal. This signature will not be denied such legal effect, validity, or
enforceability solely because an electronic signature or electronic record was used in its formation. - Eugene Berg, Director - Vocational Sales, Daimler Truck North America
