There are only a few large manufacturers of each of these items and <br /> we purchase directly from these companies. We fabricate all items here at our plant and we do not subcontract out any work to out- <br /> side companies. <br /> tWe plan on using a DBE firm for the freight portion of the project if the pricing is fair and reasonable compared to other freight compa- <br /> nies. The freight company we plan on using is Davis Freight Management. We do not know what the specific DBE percentage will be <br /> 1 as the money won't be allocated for the freight until an order is actually placed and shipped <br /> Our company maintains a diverse workforce and is located in an urban setting in Madison Heights, MI. We do not discriminate for any <br /> ' reason in the hiring, promotion of personnel,or the procurement of materials used in our plant. <br /> If you have any questions regarding our DBE good faith efforts or Brasco's affirmative action plan please call(800)893-3665. Thank <br /> ' you and we look forward to working with you on this project. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> I <br /> ' Sean Loewe <br /> Sales Consultant, Brasco International, Inc. <br /> www.brasco.com <br /> (� <br /> ( q <br />
