Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. BPM007187 Grease Trap Services for ASPC-Douglas, ASPC- Phoenix & COTA Shannon Dineley, EdD, MEd <shannon@tucsontallow.com> Tue, Oct 14, 2025 at 1:41 PM To: Nora Valenzuela <nvalenzuela@azadc.gov> Cc: Christina Jimenez <cjimenez1@azadc.gov>, Mario Angulo Rios <mangulo@azadc.gov>
Good afternoon, Nora.
The form was submitted as directed by our company owner who does not disclose prices publicly. We base our prices on:
1. Travel distance
2. Labor costs, including but not limited to salary and benefits (we pay 100% of employee and dependent health insurance and dental insurance)
3. Vehicles costs, including but not limited to wear and tear on the vehicle and fuel costs
4. Time to complete the work
Please let me know if I can clarify further. The ONLY thing we hold confidential are prices.
I am leaving my office for the day at 3p as I teach at the University in the afternoons.
Thank you!
