Since the job was originally bid over one year ago, we were <br />unable to hoid the price for that length of time. Both bronze ingots and cur <br />labor costs have increased significantly since then. <br />The bid on yc ur 8 x 10 inch plaques was S204.26 each plus freight nine <br />months ago. The current cost of these plaques is $246.26 each, plus <br />freight. <br />The bid on your 4 x 5 inch plaques was $80.76 each plus freight twelve <br />months ago. The current cost of these plaques is $111.86 each, plus <br />freight. <br />We have also instituted an additional 10% meta! surcharge to cover the <br />56% increase in he cost of bronze that has occurred in the last 2 months. <br />I am not gong to add that surcharge to this job in the hopes that your <br />customer win be able to accept our new prices. I am so sorry that we had <br />to do this but long te, m bids are a difficult situation for all of us. <br />I have the H(,we-Waffle House plaque in production and it will be ready in <br />about two we Mks or sooner, if needed. I will wait to hear from you on the <br />others. They can be produced quite quickly if you give us the go-ahead. <br />Yours truly, <br />Linda Krabill <br />U.S. Marketing k anager <br />Architectural Bronze Division <br />BLP Bronze International <br />** TOTAL PAGE.01 r* <br />
