Allen Bradley products for Baggage Handling System Rexel USA, Inc.

Allen-Bradley parts stocked and utilized throughout RSW for areas including the BHS, jet bridges, air handler units, and chiller units. Allen-Bradley parts are also used in variable frequency drives (VFDs), which adjust the speeds of electric motors to modules that help establish interface and communication channels between electrical components. The use of parts from another manufacturer within these systems would require a complete change-out of all components.

The Authority has determined the quoted pricing to be fair and reasonable based on previous cost history. There is not a published part and price list available; however, pricing has been compared with previous purchase parts from Rexel.

Allen-Bradley's distributor network is set up with one distributor per Area of Primary Responsibility (APR). An APR is a geographical area that each distributor is authorized to sell in. This approach allows Allen-Bradley to partner very closely with the authorized distributor. The authorized Allen-Bradley distributor in our area is Rexel USA, Inc.

Re: Rockwell Automation Authorized Allen-Bradley Distributors

Rockwell Automation extends and enhances its own significant automation capabilities by partnering with a network of authorized distributors. Some of the many benefits that customers enjoy working with their local authorized Allen-Bradley distributor include:

• Access to local distributor inventory (including spares and replacement parts)

• Technical assistance from local distributor product specialists

• A knowledgeable staff that has access to factory training

• Rockwell Automation support of local distributor activities

Rexel USA Inc.– Sarasota, FL is the only distributor authorized by Rockwell Automation to sell Allen-Bradley and Rockwell Software products, along with related services, in the geographic area in which your facility is located. As a matter of Company policy, Rockwell Automation only provides product and sales support to the local authorized distributor, and it is our practice and policy to always promote and recommend that customers buy from their local authorized Allen-Bradley / Rockwell Automation distributor. Rockwell Automation discourages purchasing from non-authorized sources, including distributors who may hold an Allen-Bradley appointment in another area.

If you purchase Allen-Bradley / Rockwell Automation products from an unauthorized source, you may not receive the latest version. The latest version of Allen-Bradley products, along with related factory product services, only is available through your local authorized Allen-Bradley / Rockwell Automation distributor.

Also, products that are not purchased directly from Rockwell Automation or its local authorized distributor may not be covered by a manufacturer’s warranty. Rockwell Automation’s standard manufacturer’s warranty covers new Allen-Bradley products for a period of one year from the date of Rockwell Automation’s or its authorized

Allen-Bradley distributor’s invoice to the customer. As a result, there is no assurance that products sourced from unauthorized parties will carry a valid and unexpired manufacturer’s warranty. Customers purchasing products from unauthorized sources should not assume that they will receive any rights under any Rockwell Automation factory warranty. Only an authorized Allen-Bradley distributor may offer access to factory warranty coverage on Allen-Bradley products.

We recognize that price can be an important consideration in any purchasing decision; however, it also is important that customers understand what they are getting for that price (or in the case of purchases from an unauthorized source, what they’re not getting). Rockwell Automation firmly believes that the best customer value in the long-run is achieved by dealing with the local authorized Allen-Bradley distributor.

Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact Rexel USA Inc. at 941.360.8298 or your local Rockwell Automation sales office at 813.466.6400.
