PROPOSAL FOR SMALL CURB PURCHASE AND CONVEYOR LEASE |
|
|
For
evaluation on the Golden Gate Bridge, QWICK KURB INC. is willing to lease its truck mounted,
lane moving conveyor (with truck). for $1 per month for a sixty day trial
period, along with a purchase of
a minimum of 2,000 feet of the curb system. Depending on
the size, type and spacing intervals for the reboundable markers, the
purchase price* will be between $85,488 and $94,774 ($42.74- $47.39 per foot), plus two way
freight for the conveyor. We
will include technical personnel for up to three consecutive days at no
additional charge to assist in set up and to train Bridge personnel.
During those 60 days deploy the curb on a portion of the bridge and
evaluate the curb and the conveyor. If the Bridge Authority finds that it
needs additional time, it may continue leasing the conveyor and truck at
$2,750 per month. At the end of the evaluation period, return the conveyor
and truck to us. If
the bridge authority would like to move forward, we will construct a new
conveyor for them on their truck, and sell the balance of curb necessary
to complete the bridge. The price* per foot would decline to between $39.87 to $44.71 per foot) because
of volume discounts, and we would grant a credit for the price difference
for the curb previously purchased for the evaluation. Even
if the system were determined to be unsuitable, there is no loss except
freight for the conveyor, because the curb already purchased can be used
for many other worthwhile applications such as temporary dividers in work
zones and toll booths, permanent lane dividers. U-turn restrictions, etc.
