ANALYSIS
Ashland Industries, in Wisconsin, is the sole manufacturer of the TR-1200 Trash Rake. The TR-1200 has the capability to lower cycle times of debris removal during rain events, which in turn will allow for continuous, uninterrupted pumping operations. A sole manufacturer letter from Ashland is attached for your review.
It is my recommendation to award the purchase and delivery of one (1) TR-1200 Trash Rake to Ashland Industries for the total price of $125,000.00.
Thank you.
