Nobhill Road Tamarac, FL 33321
Dear Mr. Jablonka:
Smith & Loveless, Inc., is the manufacturer of several types of sewage
treatment and transfer equipment. This is to certify that Smith & Loveless,
Inc., is the supplier of this equipment. All orders are handled directly by Smith
& Loveless, Inc. The Smith & Loveless, Inc., representative forTamarac, FL,
is Sanders Company.
Smith and Loveless as the manufacturer establishes suggested pricing for its
products, with no price variables for the same equipment between
representatives in different areas. While suggested pricing is established by
Smith & Loveless, Inc., the City of Tamarac enjoys a discount on this pricing from
Sanders Company. This is due to the proximity of Sanders Company to the City's
location and their 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 the supplier of
Packaged Pump Stations to your City.
Best regards,
Robert Durdee Manager, Pumping Systems
