If you know what your expenses are, you will know what to charge. Besides, if you asked what I charge, I would refuse to tell you until you had credibility with me.

0 Thad 135 Report post Posted August 2, 2010 It's a service company trying to put a bid together to get all the Kroger stores. They called me today. I don't even have any Krogers in my town. Last month it was a company trying to put a bid together for all the (deleted) pharmacies. They didn't have the contract yet, they were just looking for numbers to put a proposal together.

0 Thad 135 Report post Posted August 2, 2010 Rick what is your problem. He's giving you a heads up about reclaim on the sidewalks. You should thank him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 apple 14 Report post Posted August 2, 2010 Thanks Thad. Mike, some guys on these boards dont like newbies coming in and demanding answers without putting in some time and effort for it first...... Get used to it and try not to take it personal. They just dont know us. Douglas is right knowing our own costs BUT that doesnt mean I wouldnt mind knowing what theyve been going for! Not like theyre going to dish out a few hundred bucks an hour but you never know something till you learn it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Russ Spence 76 Report post Posted August 3, 2010 We recieved the "RFI" (request for information) from the Kroger home office, we submitted the figures for over 600 plus stores in several states so I am sure the company is looking of subs just like we will be doing if we are awarded the contract, however I am sure I am probably to high! haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Rick2 42 Report post Posted August 3, 2010 Rick what is your problem. My problem? Well, let's see. I couldn't find the keys to the truck this morning which made me late for the first job. Then the toggle switch on my deck sprayer broke at about 1:30 pm. I think that's it. Why, do you know of a problem that I'm not aware of? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Adrian 155 Report post Posted August 3, 2010 Rick, the magnum already broke???????? How? Was it your fault or the design of it? Curious. Easy fix????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Rick2 42 Report post Posted August 3, 2010 Yeah but it was a simple break, just the toggle switch. It isn't a waterproof switch and it's mounted in just the wrong spot, right where you're apt to get liquids splashed on it. The wiring to the switch wasn't very impressive either with exposed butt connectioners for the power supply. I just put a waterproof switch in, routed the wires in a better location, sodered and used heat-shrink tube for the connections. It was an easy fix but it could have been avoided if the right material was used in the first place. I also rerouted the pressure hose and zip tied it because it would get caught up in the wheels each time I moved it. Other than that I love it, it's a great machine.

0 Adrian 155 Report post Posted August 3, 2010 Glad it worked out ok for you. I know you just got it and haven't been using it that long. Got to expect little crap like that I guess. I have re-routed a few lines and wires on the deckster as well. Improvements in my opinion. Glad it is still working out for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Chris Tharpe 40 Report post Posted August 7, 2010 you got that call too I see. Just to inform everyone, there are bids out for Walgreens in the southern region (unsure if its the entire company) but they are looking at going with a service company. I get calls now monthly from a new one and once they inform me of who they are I tell them I don't support their method of cheap prices and payment plans. I don't mind financing my customers for 30 days or 60 if needed on service however I am not going to finance the middle man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Thad 135 Report post Posted August 7, 2010 A service company called for a bid on the Walgreens for windows. Just a little digging and a few pointed questions revealed that *they* were bidding on Walgreens and wanted someone to do the legwork and figure out pricing. They were trying to get ALL maintenance- washing, landscaping, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rick, next time you break a toggle switch, get a latching push buttom switch. They do not stick out so far and will not get broken off. When you find one, let me know. I need one for my Sprinter. NAPA no longer has them for sale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were trying to get ALL maintenance- washing, landscaping, etc. While were at this this region of Walmart signed a contract that places a maintenance company in charge of everything ourside the building. Washing, striping, parking lots, retention ponds, and so on. It will be in effect soon and one local contractor will have to eat that reclaim unit he purchased and doesn't use for those stores. They will go to a low bidder at cheap rates and no reclaim will be used on Walmart around here anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
