We <br /> appreciate the opportunity to have served the City in this capacity for i�early twenty yeai-s <br /> now. Through that time; we feel that your Watcr Production employees would agree that <br /> we have grown to be a very reliable�tnd responsive contractor for them. <br /> From our perspective, here are a few of the advantages we offer you over the others who <br /> may be pursuing tl�is contract with you: <br /> 1. We have an established sales force throughout Macan and the surrounding <br /> counties that have a trusted retationship built with the farmers o£the area. These <br /> farmers who are actuaily the owners of our coinpany, offer the available ground <br /> for application of tlie li�ne sludge and work closely with our salesmen on alI crop <br /> i�lput needs. This relationship offers the greatest potentia] for availablc <br /> applieation sites of your lime sludge. <br /> 2. Our work force and contracted trucking companies for the project are hired and <br /> live locally and therefore contz-ihute back to the Decatur economy. <br /> 3. We have a tested ability to remove the needed quantity of lime slti►dbe. With tl►e <br /> a3ready established EPA permit for our Lime P��ocessing Facility in Cerro Gordo, <br /> we can now assure the full contract removal of limc even in"bad weather"years. <br /> 4. Our land applicatio�i method ii�liquid fonn is highly respected and accepted by <br /> not only the farmers in the area but the overall community as well. It ofFers a <br /> very clean removal operation and means oPtraF�sport, which keeps it from being a <br /> nuisance to the community. <br /> 5. Laz�d application laas become greatly appreciated by the coininunity as a way of <br /> retur��ing the lime to the soil for reuse as op�osed to hcing concentrated in � <br /> landfill where they become concet-ned about thc e��vironmei�tal ramitications. <br /> 6. As a]ocal person having worked with your Water Department employees for l 6 <br /> years, my integrity should be unquestioned and my commitinent to servin�your <br /> i3eeds and interests should be proven. <br /> Once again, 1 appreciated the opportunity of serving the City's needs over tl�e past lb <br /> years and cert�inly desire tc� continue to do so. <br /> Brent Owen <br /> Retail, Regulatory, and Lii�1e Dept.
