A. ORDERS AND PAYMENT. To access the contracted Equipment, Products, or Services under
this Contract, a Participating Entity must clearly indicate to Supplier that it intends to access this
Contract; however, order flow and procedure will be developed jointly between Sourcewell and

unpaid invoice of any Participating Entity.
B. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS/PARTICIPATING ADDENDUM. Additional terms and
conditions to a purchase order, or other required transaction documentation, may be
negotiated between a Participating Entity and Supplier, such as job or industry -specific

or specific local policy requirements. Some Participating Entities may require the use of a
Participating Addendum, the terms of which will be negotiated directly between the
Participating Entity and the Supplier or its authorized dealers, distributors, or resellers, as
applicable. Any negotiated additional terms and conditions must never be less favorable to the
Participating Entity than what is contained in this Contract.
C. SPECIALIZED SERVICE REQUIREMENTS. In the event that the Participating Entity requires
service or specialized performance requirements not addressed in this Contract (such as e-
commerce specifications, specialized delivery requirements, or other specifications and
requirements), the Participating Entity and the Supplier may enter into a separate, standalone
agreement, apart from this Contract. Sourcewell, including its agents and employees, will not
be made a party to a claim for breach of such agreement.
D. TERMINATION OF ORDERS. Participating Entities may terminate an order, in whole or
in part, immediately upon notice to Supplier in the event of any of the following events:
1. The Participating Entity fails to receive funding or appropriation from its governing body
at levels sufficient to pay for the equipment, products, or services to be purchased; or
2. Federal, state, or provincial laws or regulations prohibit the purchase or change the
Participating Entity's requirements.

mailed to the address above "Attn: Accounts Receivable" or remitted electronically to

must be received no later than 45 calendar days after the end of each calendar quarter.
Supplier agrees to cooperate with Sourcewell in auditing transactions under this Contract to
ensure that the administrative fee is paid on all items purchased under this Contract.
In the event the Supplier is delinquent in any undisputed administrative fees, Sourcewell
reserves the right to cancel this Contract and reject any proposal submitted by the Supplier in
any subsequent solicitation. In the event this Contract is cancelled by either party prior to the
Contract's expiration date, the administrative fee payment will be due no more than 30 days
from the cancellation date.
Sourcewell's Authorized Representative is its Chief Procurement Officer.
Supplier's Authorized Representative is the person named in the Supplier's Proposal. If
Supplier's Authorized Representative changes at any time during this Contract, Supplier must
promptly notify Sourcewell in writing.

10 Provide a brief history of your company, Caterpillar was founded in 1925 when two entrepreneurs merged their companies:
including your company's core values, Holt Manufacturing Company and C.L Best Tractor Company. The merger was a
business philosophy, and industry longevity great success because the ethics of both men were focused on high quality
related to the requested equipment, products products and the best customer support.
or services.
11
What are your company's expectations in the
event of an award?
The key to this satisfaction is two -fold: build the best products and empower our
dealers to offer the best support. Through this combination, we are proud to prove
that our products offer the best value to our customers regardless of where they are
located.
Caterpillar produced its first diesel engine in 1939. In 1953, Caterpillar created a
division dedicated to the specific needs of a broad range of diesel engine
customers, including power generation. In 2021, the Energy & Transportation
segment including all Power Generation divisions contributed more than $20.2 Billion
of revenue globally for Caterpillar Inc. with more than $7.6 Billion in North America
alone.
Since the founding, Caterpillar Inc. has retained the culture of focusing on customer
needs and supporting products after the sale. Our company culture is keenly
focused on customer satisfaction and every employee realizes that a customer's
experience using the product will determine whether he or she will purchase another
one.
Caterpillar has a robust Code of Conduct that can be found at Caterpillar I Code of
Conduct I Caterpillar Values in Action. Here is a quote from Jim Umpleby,
Caterpillar Chief Executive Officer, summarizing this code and its significance in
Caterpillar culture. "We are proud that the people on our team come from across
the globe, with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. This diverse
culture and character make us stronger. What unites us within this diversity is a
common set of Values; that we are not just accountable for the work we do; we
also care deeply about how we do it. Our Code of Conduct defines those Values in
action —what we stand for and how we conduct ourselves with our customers,
suppliers and one another. Its purpose is not to provide a set of rules that covers
every situation or challenge we may face, but to guide us in living those values
every day. The Code of Conduct explains what Integrity, Excellence, Teamwork,
Commitment and Sustainability mean to us and how we use these Values to make
sound, ethical decisions. Our Code of Conduct is one of the most important
documents we produce at Caterpillar.
We can prove measurable advantages in total owning and operating costs as well
as tangible benefits in terms of standard safety features, telematic information
sharing, and many training, and application support services offered by our dealers.
Caterpillar is honored to have served Sourcewell and its members who have
purchased Cat construction equipment, work -tools, and electrical power generation
products through Sourcewell since 2008. Furthermore, we are proud to have earned
the Sourcewell Legacy Award in 2019. Caterpillar is the top contributor to generator
sales in our current Power Generation and Services contract 120617-CAT. Together
with the Machine contract, we look forward to the opportunity to further grow
business and serve member needs together in this new Power Generation contract.
With average 20-30% growth over the past 5 years, we will be dedicated to
continuing with this annual growth.

26 Sales force. The Cat dealer salesforce is the most capable and highly trained in the industry. The
Cat dealer salespeople are consultants to their customers and advise their customers
on the best solutions for their application and job. As a manufacturer we request our
dealers to follow strict training protocols to ensure our sales force remains current on
all product updates. Specifically, as it relates to governmental sales, each dealer has
one or more people named to be a key liaison between us as manufacturer and
their dealer sales team. This person is offered additional in-depth training on
Sourcewell and ensures that all contract terms are followed. In addition, dealers also
have electric power specialists located in house to work with customers on all
aspects of their power generation business.

Dealer network or other distribution
methods.
In North America, our dealers employ more than 53,000 people across the machine,
energy, parts and service divisions. The dealer sales teams are supported by a
network of Caterpillar professionals. Each dealer has in territory support of 5-8
Caterpillar sales/marketing employees. It is the responsibility of these people to
ensure that the dealer and Caterpillar are working well together to constantly improve
and to adapt to marketplace changes. Beyond the territory experts, the sales and
marketing department at Caterpillar is staffed by more than 600 people whose
mission is to focus on customer satisfaction. Even more are employed "behind -the -
scenes" to ensure industry leading product design, up to date product information,
and maintaining the ease of doing business in an increasingly connected marketplace.
The Cat dealer network is key to the success of our company. Within Canada and
the United States, we have more than 800 dealer owned locations that sell and rent
equipment. Please refer to our directory listing of Cat dealer locations and locations
map in the attached "Cat Dealer Directory". Cat dealers are independently owned
and many cover an entire state or province. In some cases, dealers cross
state/provincial boundaries, and in other cases, more than one dealer will be located
in a state). Each dealer has multiple branches and a mobile service fleet that can
serve customers regardless of location. These are full physical locations our
governmental customers can use.
Because of the size of Cat dealers, they are exceptionally capable to serve
governmental customers and customers in the governmental industry. Dealers have
trained specialists that cover many industries. Many of our dealer sales reps sell
more than 50% of their sales through Sourcewell. To support these dealers and
specialists in the field, Caterpillar has an electric power division with 30+ dedicated
electric power territory managers dedicated to training and focused on the electric
power industry. To help with Sourcewell sales, we have a dedicated sales rep, Nicole
Warnstedt, who is expert on co-operative purchasing for the power generation group
as well as an intern to assist with day to day tasks. Caterpillar also pulls together
the electric power specialists into a Dealer Advisory group to have a continuous
feedback loop on industry trends and to collaborate on future new product
introductions.
Collectively, Cat dealers' large net worth permits them to stock a high volume of
replacement parts - allowing governmental customers the fastest turnaround on parts
availability and repair time. Cat dealers recognize the importance of governmental
business to their overall success and their product support sales reps are well
versed in working with government entities.
Please refer to the Cat dealer locations list and map included in "Additional
Documents".

Service force. At Caterpillar we are very proud of the saying "The sales department sells the first
machine; the service department sells every one after that." The Cat dealer network
in North America collectively employs more than 20,000 factory trained technicians,
parts experts, product support managers and other service -oriented staff. These
people are supported by the best repair shop equipment and materials. As machines
and engines are constantly updated, so too are our service experts. We conduct
product -specific training every week of the year. Technician shortage is an industry-
wide
concern, but because Cat dealers are large, long established companies, they can
offer strong compensation and benefit packages that encourage the best people to
seek employment and to retain them once hired. Caterpillar works very closely with
dealers and through a program called "Think Big", we are able to keep the pipeline
of high quality employees full.
In addition to the technicians and mechanics that work on the generators directly,
each dealer has a service support staff that includes customer -facing consultants who
are responsible for working with customers to set up maintenance and repair
schedules to ensure the best possible up -time. Collectively, service support staff
makes up the bulk of each dealers' staff. Roughly half of their personnel investment
goes to ensuring customer success via product support.
Describe the ordering process. If orders
will be handled by distributors, dealers or

The dealer service teams are supported by a network of Caterpillar professionals.
Each dealer has in territory support of 5-8 Caterpillar parts/service employees. It is
the responsibility of these people to ensure that the dealer and Caterpillar are
working well together to constantly improve and to adapt to marketplace changes.
Beyond the territory experts, the service and support groups at Caterpillar are staffed
by thousands of people whose mission is to focus on post -sale customer satisfaction.
Even more are employed "behind -the -scenes" to ensure technical literature is up to
date, service standards are adhere to and repair questions are answered quickly.
Historically, we have exceeded our 95% 2-hour response rate target in responding to
dealer service inquiries.
Our simple order process has been and will continue to be well appreciated by
Sourcewell and Sourcewell members:
1) When a member decides to purchase a new Cat Generator, they include the
contract number and their Sourcewell member number on the Purchase Order they
issue to the Cat dealer.
2) The Cat dealer then accepts the PO, issues the invoice, accepts payment and
delivers the generator.
3) After the generator has been delivered, the dealer, as part of their normal
process, includes the member number when filing their sales claims with Caterpillar.
4) At month end, Caterpillar aggregates these reports and sends the sales
information quarterly to Sourcewell along with the administrative fee.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Should a member wish to include additional terms and
conditions to this contract, or to otherwise request a Participating Addendum, that
agreement / PA should be executed between
the member and Cat dealer directly.

network provides unmatched service capabilities to meet customer servicing
requirements.
Technicians have access to an electronic library of technical information including
Service Letters, Technical Information Bulletins, System Operations, Troubleshooting
and Disassembly and Assembly manuals. These manuals are provided for every Cat
product. Each dealer also has one or more "Technical Communicators" who are
dedicated to supporting the service technicians by acting as a liaison between the
shop personnel and Caterpillar.
The service technicians also have a dealer support network (DSN) system with direct
access to Caterpillar's Service Engineers. Caterpillar responds to more than 95% of
all high priority tickets within one hour.
Depending on a customer's needs, they may choose to handle service issues
themselves, in conjunction with their dealer, or they may ask their dealer to handle
them entirely. To meet the varying desires of each customer, Caterpillar offers a wide

Describe any technological Technology is a key product differentiator for Caterpillar. To describe each of them in detail
advances that your proposed would expand the length of this response beyond a reasonable level. For brevity, key
products or services offer. technologies specific to products in this RFP are listed below. More details are available
on our product pages on www.cat.com.
1. Cat Remote Asset Monitoring and telematics are available on every generator.
Generators smaller than C32 come equipped with Product Link devices which allow ease of
setup for monitoring. This allows customers and dealers to monitor generator health and
operation with the intent of early issue detection. Through our proprietary fleet monitoring
software, we are leaders in using technology to prevent unexpected downtime.
2. Caterpillar has invested in controller technology for generators, offering our EMCP
4.4 control panel for most generator offerings. This controller has an easy -to -use interface
and allows for paralleling of multiple units, creating redundancies and allowing customers
even more protection against outages.
3. Caterpillar equips every Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB engine with ACERTTM technology with
an ideal combination of electronic, fuel, air and aftertreatment components, based on engine
size, the type of application and the geographic location in which it will work. Applying
technologies systematically and strategically optimizes them to meet our customers' high
expectations for productivity, fuel efficiency, reliability, and service life. The right technology
fine-tuned for the right application results in improved fuel efficiency, boosted power and
performance across applications, no additional space requirements, and reduced emissions
with up to 90 percent reduction in particulate matter (pm) and 50 percent reduction in
oxides of nitrogen (NOx).
4. As the global climate changes, more companies are turning to sustainable solutions
to help lower their carbon footprint. Renewable hydrogen and hydrogen blends are among
several alternative fuels customers are considering achieving their sustainability goals.
Leveraging 35 years of expertise in hydrogen technologies across multiple end markets,
Caterpillar continues to improve the performance of hydrogen -fueled power technologies with
minimal impacts on maintenance costs and schedules, availability, and operations.
5. Caterpillar offers a full range of Cat® Microgrid projects from 10kW to 10OMW
through our global dealer network. The projects would include an integrated or standalone
solution using solar, energy storage and/or diesel/gas generator sets. We can also offer
monitoring services for our projects. The solutions are all module and scalable. Our CAT
dealers can offer product upgrades, financing services, warranties, service agreements, and
parts availability. We will customize our microgrid technologies to meet your business and
industry needs.
6. In 2022, Caterpillar acquired Tangent Energy Solutions, an Energy -as -a -service

HUBZones, all while ensuring expectations are met with regards to quality, velocity, capacity,
and cost. Currently more than 37% of our direct and indirect purchasing is conducted with
suppliers in these categories.
Caterpillar is a proud member of the National Minority Supplier Development Council
(NMSDC). We also use the System for Aware Management (SAM), SBA, and NMSDC
databases to locate SDB, VOSB, SDVOSB and HUBZone suppliers.
Supplier Diversity is discussed with Global Supply Network Division leadership during the
Monthly Operating Results Review meetings. This in turn forces accountability for divers
supplier inclusion by measuring drivers, such as the number of sourcing projects, which
include Divers Suppliers and the values of the projects in which they participate. The goal
is to create greater transparency to determine which teams are creating inclusive
environments and which are not.

CAT SAFETY SERVICES / SAFETY FEATURES:
In addition to the tangible, measurable aspects of the life cycle cost equation, we also bring
our focus on safety to every product that we manufacture. Quantifying a human life or
debilitating injury is impossible, but each generator has industry -leading features that strive
to minimize the possibility for accidents. Some examples include:
- UL2200 Certified — all units include guards over rotating compartments, safety
shutdowns and alarms, and grounded wiring installations among many other safety features
Emergency Stop Button
Enclosures are lockable to allow human contact to be avoided

DEALERSHIP ATTRIBUTES:
Back up power is a critical asset of many Sourcewell members. Caterpillar dealers bring a
unique solution to provide second to none service to our customers. Unlike competitors, our
dealers own their own rental fleet and make available as needed. Even with stationary
products, we have options to provide back up rentals to best serve Sourcewell's members
when emergencies occur. Our vast dealer network with 800 locations is positioned to
service both urban and rural areas throughout the US and Canada.
PRODUCT ATTRIBUTES:
Over the last five years, Caterpillar has invested in a product that is lower capex cost for
the public and non-profit industry sector. This new line of generators, our GC models,
involved a redesign of 15 of our current generator offerings, which created an average cost
reduction of 10-15%. The cost savings is driven by offering fewer options on these models
without sacrificing Caterpillar quality.

customizable based on member's situational and local needs, including
some standard options as well. For instance, all units under 1250kW have
standard parts kits available. Examples of options that can be included in a

The Caterpillar Dealer Network will receive additional
discounts from Caterpillar to help reach Sourcewell members
purchasing prices per the Sourcewell contract. To qualify for
the discounts, the selling Caterpillar Dealer must identify
each applicable sale as a Sourcewell sale on their order
and they must also fill out a report to the Caterpillar
designated Sourcewell custodian, Nicole Warnstedt, including
the product order number and Sourcewell member number.
Reports are updated and reviewed on a quarterly basis to
assist in providing payment to Sourcewell. To ensure correct
pricing and auditing, Caterpillar has created a focus program
that dealers can use on their quotes. This focus program
automatically populates associated discount levels. The

Addenda, Terms and Conditions
PROPOSER AFFIDAVIT AND ASSURANCE OF COMPLIANCE
I certify that I am the authorized representative of the Proposer submitting the foregoing Proposal with the legal authority to bind the
Proposer to this Affidavit and Assurance of Compliance:
1. The Proposer is submitting this Proposal under its full and complete legal name, and the Proposer legally exists in good standing in
the jurisdiction of its residence.
2. The Proposer warrants that the information provided in this Proposal is true, correct, and reliable for purposes of evaluation for
contract award.
3. The Proposer, including any person assisting with the creation of this Proposal, has arrived at this Proposal independently and the
Proposal has been created without colluding with any other person, company, or parties that have or will submit a proposal under
this solicitation; and the Proposal has in all respects been created fairly without any fraud or dishonesty. The Proposer has not
directly or indirectly entered into any agreement or arrangement with any person or business in an effort to influence any part of
this solicitation or operations of a resulting contract; and the Proposer has not taken any action in restraint of free trade or
competitiveness in connection with this solicitation. Additionally, if Proposer has worked with a consultant on the Proposal, the
consultant (an individual or a company) has not assisted any other entity that has submitted or will submit a proposal for this
solicitation.
4. To the best of its knowledge and belief, and except as otherwise disclosed in the Proposal, there are no relevant facts or
circumstances which could give rise to an organizational conflict of interest. An organizational conflict of interest exists when a
vendor has an unfair competitive advantage or the vendor's objectivity in performing the contract is, or might be, impaired.
5. The contents of the Proposal have not been communicated by the Proposer or its employees or agents to any person not an
employee or legally authorized agent of the Proposer and will not be communicated to any such persons prior to Due Date of this
solicitation.
6. If awarded a contract, the Proposer will provide to Sourcewell Participating Entities the equipment, products, and services in

10. The Proposer understands that Sourcewell will reject RFP proposals that are marked "confidential" (or "nonpublic," etc.), either
substantially or in their entirety. Under Minnesota Statutes Section 13.591, subdivision 4, all proposals are considered nonpublic
data until the evaluation is complete and a Contract is awarded. At that point, proposals become public data. Minnesota Statutes
Section 13.37 permits only certain narrowly defined data to be considered a "trade secret," and thus nonpublic data under
Minnesota's Data Practices Act.
