determination made by the Secretary of Labor. In addition, contractors must be required to pay
wages not less than once a week. The non-federal entity must place a copy of the current

decision to award a contract or subcontract must be conditioned upon the acceptance of the

the Copeland “Anti-Kickback” Act (40 U.S.C. § 3145), as supplemented by Department of Labor
regulations (29 C.F.R. § 3, “Contractors and Subcontractors on Public Building or Public Work
Financed in Whole or in Part by Loans or Grants from the United States”). The Act provides that
each contractor or subrecipient must be prohibited from inducing, by any means, any person

Under 40 U.S.C. § 3702 of the Act, each contractor must be required to compute the wages of
every mechanic and laborer on the basis of a standard work week of 40 hours. Work in excess
of the standard work week is permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of
not less than one and a half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40
hours in the work week. The requirements of 40 U.S.C. § 3704 are applicable to construction
work and provide that no laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or
under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous. These requirements
do not apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the

hereby incorporated by reference into this Contract. Vendor certifies that during the term of an
award for all contracts by Sourcewell resulting from this procurement process, Vendor must

Andy Campbell, Supplier Development Supervisor
202 12th Street NE
Staples, MN 56479
Dear Mr. Campbell,
Due to unprecedented increases in commodity costs and extreme volatility in component availability and
pricing related to all aspects of manufacturing logistics, we find it necessary to modify and provide clarity
to our responses related to the following questions:
Table 10: Payment Terms and Financing Options
Line Item 51
Briefly describe your proposed order process. Include enough detail to support your ability to report
quarterly sales to Sourcewell as described in the Contract template. For example, indicate whether your
dealer network is included in your response and whether each dealer (or some other entity will process
the Sourcewell participating entities’ purchase orders.
Change response to:
Sourcewell participating entities will work directly with Toro’s authorized local distributors/dealers to
identify product options, availability, and receive initial pricing quotation.
Toro will communicate to its distributors/dealers that the following statement is to be provided on all
quotations: “Pricing may be subject to change between the original order date and the delivery date.” In
addition, Toro suggests the same language to be included in the Sourcewell participating entity’s PO or
order agreement.
Prior to delivery, the distributor/dealer may reach out to the participating entity with updated pricing. The
updated pricing will not exceed the category discounts off of current MSRP reflected at the time of
delivery. At this time, the participating entity may accept the updated pricing and continue with the order
or cancel the order without penalty.
Sourcewell participating entities may contact Toro (or Sourcewell) at any time to verify a specific
distributor/dealer and/or confirm pricing provided by the local distributor/dealer. Entities may also confirm
authorized distributors/dealers online at www.toro.com/locator.
After the order is complete, the local Toro distributor/dealer will deliver the product(s) to the participating
entity and provide an invoice requesting payment. All quoting, billing, setup, delivery and ongoing
maintenance of the equipment will be handled by the local distributors/dealers.
Toro distributors/dealers supporting the Sourcewell contract will receive rebates from Toro for equipment
sold under the Sourcewell contract. Toro distributors/dealers will be required to submit documentation to
8111 Lyndale Avenue South, Bloomington, Minnesota 55420-1196

ensure compliance with the contract in order to receive their rebates. This information will be shared with
Sourcewell directly from Toro on a quarterly basis, or as requested by Sourcewell. Toro has an
impeccable track record of providing this information accurately and on time since the beginning of our
first contract. We understand the importance of transparency and accurate reporting for Sourcewell and
for Sourcewell participating entities.
Table 11: Pricing and Delivery
Line Item 53
Describe your pricing model (e.g., line-item discounts or product-category discounts). Provide detailed
pricing data (including standard or list pricing and the Sourcewell discounted price) on all of the items
that you want Sourcewell to consider as part of your RFP response. If applicable, provide a SKU for each
item in your proposal. Upload your pricing materials (if applicable) in the document upload section of your
response.
Change response to:
Product-category discounts off of current MSRP as reflected at the time of delivery will apply as
described in items 54-60.
Toro will communicate to its dealers and distributors that the following statement is provided on all
quotations “Pricing may be subject to change between original order date and delivery”. In addition, Toro
suggests the same language to be included in the Sourcewell participating entity’s PO or order
agreement. The updated pricing will not exceed the category discounts off of the current MSRP as
reflected at the time of delivery.
In Canada, the pricing model is our US MSRP multiplied by the exchange rate at the time of delivery
(exchange rate based on the monthly average published rate at the time of delivery, according to the
Bank of Canada – Monthly Exchange Rate). This creates a new MSRP for Canada and then the discount
off that price is applied.
Bank of Canada – Monthly Exchange Rate:
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/rates/exchange/monthly-exchange-rates/

No changes to previously amended response
Line Item 57

response. This includes all additional charges associated with a purchase that are not directly identified
DocuSign Envelope ID: 085CE876-ADCE-4DFE-83DC-03D481E591C2
as freight or shipping charges. For example, list costs for items like predelivery inspection, installation,
set up, mandatory training, or initial inspection. Identify any parties that impose such costs and their
relationship to the Proposer.
Change response to:
Toro’s authorized distributors/dealers may include setup fees – not to exceed 5% of the total product
cost, plus up to an additional 5% for cab-unit setups. Setup fees must be identified as a separate line-
item on the quotation.
In addition, due to unprecedented market conditions it may be necessary for Toro, or our local
distributors/dealers to implement temporary surcharges to offset the volatility of material and/or
transportation costs. Surcharge requests will be sent through a Price and Product Change Request Form
to the assigned Sourcewell Contract Administrator for approval.
Line Item 58
If freight, delivery, or shipping is an additional cost to the Sourcewell participating entity, describe in detail
the complete freight, shipping, and delivery program.

exceed actual pass-through costs. Freight and deliver fees must be identified as a separate line-item on
the quotation.
