Subject: Smith & Loveless Sole Source Letter
Dear Mr. London
This is to advise that all Smith & Loveless manufactured, equipment, accessories and/or parts

Smith and Loveless Inc. as the manufacturer of Sewage Treatment and Package Pump Station
equipment establishes the suggested pricing for Its products, with no price variables for the
same equipment between reprssentativos in different areas. While suggested pricing is
established, by Smith and Loveless Inc. the City of Tamarac enjoys a discount on this pricing
from the Sanders Company. This is due to the close proximity of the Sanders Company to the
City's location and their on going ability to provide both sales and service to the city on a cost
effective basis.
We do thank you for allowing Smith & Loveless to be a sole source supplier of Waste Water
Process Equipment to your City.
Sincerely,
Robert Durdee
