In awarding contracts for the purchase of work, labor, services, supplies, equipment,

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.

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.

Improper handling such as dropping cart stacks off delivery trucks, dragging over rough surfaces,
stacking with wheels on, forcing through narrow openings, allowing packer mechanism to hit cart
during dumping cycle.
* Improper handling by automated arms such as any scratches, cuts, creases, scores, cracks or breaks
from a maladjusted automated lift arm or semi -automated dumper, including squeezing lid with arm
and dropping cart into packer or possible wheel/axle damage and including excessive lift speed
including any lift speed faster than six seconds for full lift -dump -down cycle.
Failure to properly open or secure lids when emptying, handling or moving carts.
* Improper use such as any use other than for storage, transport, and dumping normal single unit residential
solid wastes and curbside recyclables collection, including such improper use as: construction, industrial,
landscaping, liquid storage/transport, bulk solids storage/transport, recreational, commercial, food service
and institutional applications.
WARRANTY PERIODS AND OTHER PRODUCT -SPECIFIC DETAILS
STANDARD CARTS: Ten (10) years from the date of shipment to Purchaser. Specifically excluded are carts:
used as crew carts; dumped manually or with mechanical lifting/dumping devices that do not meet ANSI
requirements; or used for any purpose other than residential solid waste and curbside recyclables collection.
BASIC BLACK CARTS: Three (3) years from the date of shipment to Purchaser. Basic Black Carts are also
warranted against insufficient resistance to weathering while in normal use. For purposes of this warranty,
"normal use" is considered to be the collection of residential solid waste in conjunction with an approved
semi -automated or fully automated mechanical lifting device. If a dumping device other than one approved
by Cascade is to be used for semi -automated or fully automated dumping, written approval of that brand and
specific model of dumping device must be obtained from Cascade prior to use. Adjustments or modifications
may be required for approval.
POLY DURA KAN REFUSE CONTAINERS: Three (3) years from the date of shipment to Purchaser. Specifically
excluded are any attached hardware, lids or casters. At temperatures reaching -20F or below, precautions and
restrictions should be taken on containers during lifting and/or dumping because the material becomes
brittle, which could create breakage and possible voiding of warranty.
CURBSIDE RECYCLING CONTAINERS: Five (5) years from the date of manufacture.
GRAVITY LOCKS: Five (5) years from the date of shipment. If Cascade chooses to replace the gravity lock and
the original type is no longer available, a comparable gravity lock will be provided instead.

TESTING REPORT
DATE: 23 April2009
SUBJECT: Trash carts
PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION: Cascade 96 gallon cart
TEST: LOADING AND UNLOADING (CYCLE TEST) —AUTOMATED
TEST DESCRIPTION: The loading and unloading test is 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 carVs use as a trash cart and be emptied by the automated method.
TEST RESULTS:
cy-gles Comments on Peribimance
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.

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.

In 2018 women owned 12.3 Million businesses which is 40% of all businesses in the U.S.A. Together
these women -owned businesses had revenues of about $1.8 Trillion. This $1.8 Trillion is only 4.3% of
total businesses revenue. So even though the number of women -owned businesses is high the revenue
generated by these businesses is considerably low compared to men -owned businesses. Because of
this the average revenue generated by a women -owned businesses is significantly lower than the
average revenue generated by a man -owned firm.
