C AMCS <br />Hesau rye <br />Ilr •- u;r <br />Introduction <br />Prepared for: The City of South Bend, IN <br />This proposal represents the annual licensing and support fees for The City of South Bend to run the AMCS Route <br />Planner, route optimization system in conjunction with the current ELEMOS database. It also reflects the cost to <br />set-up and train The City's users during the initial roll -out of the system. <br />Our customers typically achieve the following optimization benefits: <br />• 10%-25% reductions in mileage, CO2 emissions and driving hours <br />• A reduction of 5%-10% in the number of vehicles <br />• 50%— 75% less time spent on planning master routes <br />• 25%— 50% less time spent on daily planning <br />• Significantly improved customer service levels <br />Visibility of future operations & asset requirements based on what -if scenario modeling <br />As discussed, it is anticipated that you could experience the above savings with this optimization at The City of <br />South Bend, and we hereby submit a proposal for AMCS route optimization as the solution for The City of South <br />Bend. <br />Use of Solution <br />This proposal is for the use of AMCS Route Planner within The City of South Bend's solid waste and recycling <br />operations. <br />The system will be deployed for the following planning levels: <br />• Master route optimization for curbside trash routes <br />• Master route optimization for curbside yard routes <br />• Master route optimization for rear load trash routes <br />Daily dynamic pre -execution route optimization for routes supporting extra/bulky item pickup, container <br />management, extra yard waste and missed pickups. <br />Master route optimization will be performed by The City of South Bend's planner/user who will use AMCS Route <br />Planner's user interface. <br />The daily dynamic route optimization will be carried out inside ELEMOS where the user will first define which <br />orders will be assigned on each of the routes. Once assigned, AMCS Route Planner (as a service) will perform the <br />sequence optimization and return the then -optimized sequences of the routes back to ELEMOS to be assigned <br />and sent to the driver for completion. <br />The purpose and advantage of deploying AMCS Route Planner is to provide to The City of South Bend with the <br />ability to optimize the routes whenever needed — maximizing the continued efficiency and cost savings of the <br />route optimization benefits. It is our intention, through this proposal, to develop a well -trained, highly capable, <br />user who will be equipped to operate the system efficiently and optimize the routes in each of the unique service <br />levels the city offers its constituents. <br />0 AMCS Page 3 of 9 Proposal #11172016-010MH <br />Confidential and Proprietary Information <br />V9.2 <br />
