The new ice resurfacer will enable Venues Parks & Arts to maintain a high -quality experience <br />for the visitors to the park and minimize maintenance costs and time. We are seeking to utilize <br />Frank J. Zamboni and Co. as a sole source vendor for this purchase. Zamboni is the only company <br />that manufactures ice resurfacers within the United States. I have spoken with Clara McDaniels in <br />legal and she affirmed that it was allowed via "Indiana Code Section 5-22-15-21(b) and (c), <br />Promotion of purchase of supplies manufactured in the United States." <br />There is no indication that manufactures outside of the United States can provide products that are <br />substantially less in cost or substantially higher in quality than Zamboni. Zamboni is well recognized <br />as a quality manufacturer of ice resurfacers as well as a member of the SourceWell QPA program in <br />the United States. We look forward to creating a wonderful experience for the residents and guests <br />that we serve. Thank you and let me know if you have any questions. <br />Patrick Sherman <br />574-235-5601 <br />psherman@southbendin.gov <br />
