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
contracts awarded under public bidding laws or other contracts in which public bids are
not required by law, the City, its agencies, boards, or commissions may consider the
Contractor's good faith efforts to obtain participation by those Contractors certified by the

In no event shall persons or entities seeking the award of a City contract be required to
award a subcontract to an MBE/WBE; however, it may not unlawfully discriminate against
said WBE/MBE. A finding of a discriminatory practice by the City's MBE/WBE
Utilization Board shall prohibit that person or entity from being awarded a City contract
for a period of one (1) year from the date of such determination, and such determination
may also be grounds for terminating the contact for which the discriminatory practice or
noncompliance pertains.

commitment shall be made a part of any contract which it may henceforth enter into with
the City of South Bend, Indiana or any of its agencies, boards or commissions.
Contractor agrees not to discriminate against or intimidate any employee or applicant for
employment in the performance of this contract with privileges of employment, or any
matter directly or indirectly related to employment, because of race, religion, color, sex,
gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation, handicap, national origin or
ancestry. Breach of this provision may be regarded as material breach of contract.
I, the undersigned bidder or agent as contractor on a public works project, understand my
statutory obligations to the use of steel products or foundry products made in the United

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.

PRODUCT WARRANTY
LIMITED WARRANTY
OXBO International Corporation warrants its new machines to be free from defects in material
and workmanship, under normal use and service, for a period of one (1) year from the date of
delivery to the original purchaser, or five hundred (500) hours of operation whichever occurs
first.
Upon satisfactory claim, we will, within a reasonable time, at our option replace or repair
defective parts free of charge. Charges for transportation, customs duties or taxes where
applicable, installation, correcting defects or making additions will not be allowed, nor will we
accept products returned for credit unless the return or correction is authorized by us in writing.
Warranty claims will not be honored if, in Oxbo's opinion, such claim was caused by improper
use, improper adjustment or failure to properly maintain the machine.
THE ONLY REMEDY FOR ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY, AND OXBO'S ONLY
LIABILITY OF ANY HIND, INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE, WITH
RESPECT TO ANY MACHINE, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE REPAIR OR
REPLACEMENT OF ANY DEFECTIVE PARTS AS STATED ABOVE, AND SHALL IN

A. Amendments to Specifications
I, the undersigned bidder or agent as contractor on a public works
project, understand my statutory obligations to the use of steel
products or foundry products made in the United States (I.C. 5-16-8-1).
1 hereby certify that I and all subcontractors employed by me for 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.
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.
Because the machine(s) for this bid are manufactured in the Oxbo
facility in Roosendaal Netherlands, it would add unreasonable and
unneeded cost to use exclusively steel and foundry products made in
the United States. As a global company Oxbo strives to purchase
components that meet the design and quality specifications at the
lowest possible price.
