or any matter directly or indirectly related to employment because of race, sex, religion,

orientation or disability that does not affect that person's ability to perform the work.
In awarding contracts for the purchase of work, labor, services, supplies, equipment,
materials, or any combination of the foregoing including, but not limited to, public works

this project will use steel products or foundry products made in the United States on this
project if awarded. I understand I have an affirmative duty to notify the City in my bid
that my proposal does not include the use of steel products or foundry products made in
the United States. I understand it is my sole obligation and responsibility to provide a
justification to the City, subject to review and approval, why the cost of United States
made steel or foundry products is unreasonable. Prior to award and upon submission of
bid which does not use steel products or foundry products made in the United States, the
City, through its director of public works, shall make a determination if the price of
United States made steel or foundry is unreasonable. I understand that violations
hereunder may result in forfeiture of contractual payments.
I hereby affirm under the penalties of perjury that the facts and information contained in the foregoing bid
for public works are true and correct.

EXCEPTIONS / CLARIFICATIONS
City of South Bend, IN
Axle: Cascade utilizes a .844" diameter, zinc chromate plated, steel axle which is larger
than the required specification of 5/8" diameter. This is the same axle that has been
provided to the City of South Bend over the past 3 years by Cascade.
Lift System: Cascade Engineering uses a composite lower retention bar. In testing it has
been proven to be 3.4 times stronger than hollow steel retention bars. In addition it has
passed over 10,300 lift/dump/double pump cycles with a load of 350 pounds cycling up
in the dump position in less than 3 seconds. This is equivalent to 187 years of lifting and
dumping at excessive loads and lifter speeds. It has a "one way" mounting feature and is
designed so it requires no rivets, screws or push pins to hold the lower bar in place. This
is the same design as provided to the City of South Bend.
Nestability & Assembly: Cascade carts are shipped in stacks 9 high with the bottom cart
being fully assembled except for the lift bar. The remaining 8 carts need to have the
wheels and axle inserted. The lift bar needs to be assembled in all 9 carts. All carts come
with the lid attached. Wheels, axles and lift bars are shipped inside each cart. Assembly
time is less than one minute per cart.

TESTING REPORT
DATE: 23 April 2009 "
SUBJECT: Trash carts
PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION: Cascade 96 gallon cart
TEST: LOADING AND UNLOADING (CYCLE TEST) — AUTOMATED
TEST DESCRIPTION: The loading and unloading testis designed to approximate the useful life of a
cart (10 years) in the actual lifting and squeezing that is performed when emptying the cart into an
automated truck. This test is useful in assessing the overall design (such as the lid fit, handle material and
hinge mechanism, wheel assembly strength, etc.) and overall durability.
MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD: ANSI standard Z245.30 requires that after testing the cart
should not suffer any damage or permanent deformation such that it cannot be safely used in normal
operation. ANSI Z245.60 establishes dimensional requirements for the cart.
TEST PROCEDURE (Meets the requirements of ANSI Z245.30):
1. The test is conducted at room temperature.
2. A standard ARE automated lifting mechanism is used. This lifter is compatible with all currently
used carts. The lifting mechanism is attached to a stationary frame which allows the cart to be
emptied and then reloaded on each cycle.
3. The cycle time is greater than eight seconds, as required in the standard.
4. The cart is loaded with inert material at the standard load capacity as indicated in ANSI standard
according to the rated size of the container. The loading material is to occupy at least 70% of the
volume of the cart. (For nominal 96 gallon carts, the load is 350 pounds.)
S. The cart is positioned in front of the lifting mechanism and is then squeezed and lifted to empty
the cart into a bin. The cart is set down onto a concrete surface and is held stationary as it is
reloaded by tipping the bin to allow the weights to re-enter the cart.
6. Inspections are made whenever any change is noticed and after every 100 lifts.
7. Failure is judged to be cracks, holes or other induced defects or deformations in the cart that
would prevent the can's use as a trash cart and be emptied by the automated method.
TEST RESULTS:
Cycles Comments on Performance
520 No significant damage — cart operates acceptably
SUMMARY: No significant damage was seen and so the cart passed the ANSI Z245.30 and Z245.60
standards for minimum performance.

TESTING REPORT
DATE: 10 February 2010
SUBJECT: Trash carts
PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION: Cascade 96 gallon container
TEST: WIND TUNNEL
TEST DESCRIPTION: This test is a measure of the stability of the cart in a high wind. Although
not specifically tied to the basic purpose of the cart, most consumers would object to a cart that
often tipped over and spilled the contents.
MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD: No standard has been set although some local
standards may exist.
TEST PROCEDURE:
1. A large wind tunnel with a 54 inch diameter exit opening is used for the test. The wind
was supplied by a Gates Super HC drive with capability to achieve various velocities.
2. Position the cart in the steady wind stream zone. (Approx. 48 inches from the opening.)
3. The bottom of the cart is to be level with the exit opening and is to rest on a concrete
surface that has a surface texture similar to a roadway.
4. Test cart in three orientations toward the wind tunnel opening — front, side and back.
5. In each orientation, the cart should be tested against a barrier to simulate performance
against a street curb. The barrier should prevent the cart from sliding.
6. Measure the air velocity at the leading surface of the cart using a certified volometer.
Placement of the volometer in front of the cart and a few inches down from the top of the
cart is ideal.
7. The wind velocity is raised in increments with sufficient time between changes to
monitor whether the cart is stable. The highest wind velocity achieved is recorded.
8. The carts are blocked against a barrier that is placed behind the wheels. The point of
non -stability (end point) is when the cart tipped over. The wind speed is taken as the
average of at least 3 repetitions.
9. Modifications in cart characteristics or positioning may also be tested and noted.

CASCADE'; ENGINEERING
RESIDENTIAL REFUSE CART WARRANTY
Cascade Engineering, Inc. (`CE") warrants its residential refuse carts from functional failure due
to defects in plastic materials or faulty workmanship or insufficient resistance to weathering while
in normal use for a period of tell (10) years (120 mouths) from the date of shipment from the
manufacturing facility to any purchaser ("Shipment Date"). Notwithstanding the above, CE shall
provide purchaser with a spare parts supply of component parts, such as axles and wheels, which
fail.
For purposes of this warranty, "normal use" of a cart is considered to be the collection of
residential solid wastes in conjunction with any semi -automated or fully automated mechanical
lifting device manufactured to industry -wide guidelines ANSI Z245.60-2008 and/or ANSI
7245.30-2008 which are standard.
CE shall be promptly notified of any failures under warranty in order that such failures may be
inspected. Residential refuse carts which fail shall be accumulated by the customer, but no
accumulation of defective products shall exceed 20 residential refuse carts without wa9ttcn
notification to CE.
Specifically excluded from this warranty are damages due to negligent or abusive use or normal
wear and tear, including but not limited to, those items listed on Schedule A attached. Also
specifically excluded are carts used as crew carts, dumped manually, or used for any purpose other
than residential solid waste and curbside recyclables collection. Negligent, abusive, or specifically
excluded use of carts voids this warranty after such use. This warranty is also voided upon the
resale of the residential refuse carts.
THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT
SHALL CE BE LIABLE-, FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR FOR
ANY DELAY IN PERFORMANCE UNDER THIS WARRANTY.
