A O R IVE REPRESENTAT 1 r ACORD 26(2001108) ©ACORD CORPORATION 198E Attachment A, Page 13 of 198 FERRARA FIRE APPARATUS, INCORPORATED INTRODUCTION In 1977, Mr. Chris Ferrara, President and CEO of Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc., was employed as a pipe fitter/fabricator by one of the nation's largest petrochemical refineries located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Additionally, Mr. Ferrara contributed many hours to his community by volunteering his services as a member of the Central Volunteer Fire Department. Chris soon realized and understood the many restraints placed. on many fire departments. As a rural fire department, Central's lack of water supply to adequately service their community, created an extreme need for a water tanker to assist in firefighting operations. Due to the cost of a new apparatus, and the virtual lack of funding, other avenues had to be explored to procure the apparatus.. With the knowledge of firefighting and the experience in fabricating, Chris Ferrara and other members of the Department embarked upon a quest to build their own tanker. After many hours of hard work and dedication, this group of young firemen, led by Chris Ferrara, delivered the new tanker fire truck to their department in Central, at a savings that amounted to thousands of dollars. This feat led the way for a career change for Chris. In 1979, Chris founded a firefighting equipment and supply distributorship, which he operated out of his home. Ferrara Firefighting Equipment represented many of the industry's top suppliers and manufacturers of firefighting equipment and supplies. It also became the largest sales and service center in the South for the nation's leader in vehicle extrication equipment and the third largest manufacturer of fire apparatus. In 1983, Ferrara Firefighting Equipment was officially incorporated. In order to keep up with the fast growing needs of the fire industry, a full scale service, warranty, and repair center was opened, which provided preventative maintenance and repair on existing apparatus and warranty service repairs on new apparatus. From 1983 to 1987, Ferrara Firefighting Equipment, Inc. functioned solely as a full sales and service center for several major apparatus manufacturers, and, in early 1987, expanded to offer the industry the capability of major refurbishment of apparatus and the assembly of pre-built fire bodies and fire pumps on new and 27855 James Chapel Road o P.O.

In 1987, the focus of the Company began to change one again, and the desire to meet the customer's individual needs became paramount. Ferrara Fire Apparatus began by manufacturing mainly commercial pumpers, tankers, mini pumpers, and service/utility vehicles. Ferrara Fire Apparatus was officially incorporated in 1987, which marked the beginning of the manufacturing of an extensive line of fire, rescue, and specialty vehicles that were marketed nationwide, with recent deliveries to the Philippines and Indonesia. The entire marketing focus rapidly changed from a regional builder to a manufacturer of fire and rescue vehicles nationwide. The number of apparatus delivered between 1980 and 1987, prior to Ferrara's expansion, was approximately 20 to 25 trucks per year. By 1992, Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. was ranked as the tenth largest U.S. manufacturer of fire apparatus, with a delivery of 103 units. Today, Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. ranks among the nations top five fire truck manufacturers, delivering as many as 290 custom and commercial fire trucks across the nation. No other fire apparatus manufacturer in the U.S. has grown as rapidly and with such dynamic results as Ferrara. The dreams and ideas of a volunteer firefighter have indeed become a reality, and, with those ideals, came Ferrara's new home in Holden, Louisiana, which Chris Ferrara laid out and designed around the actual production stages. In August 1994, Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. relocated to their new 110,000 square foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, located between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. The facility is equipped with the latest technology and equipment available on the market today and easily the most modern in the nation. To meet the increasing demand for their fire apparatus, and in concert with the introduction of the Inferno custom fire chassis, Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. expanded the Holden facility to 150,000 square feet in 1998. Faced with a growing volume of sales for innovative Inferno custom fire chassis, Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. opened its Zeeland, Michigan chassis production facility in 1999, This strategic Michigan location provided Ferrara with the opportunity to recruit a highly skilled workforce with the experience necessary to begin producing the Inferno custom fire chassis quickly and efficiently. While new truck sales were steadily growing, Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. saw an increased demand for good quality pre-owned and used fire apparatus. A dominant player for many years in the refurbishment and resale of used fire apparatus, Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. increased their Used Fire Apparatus Division by once again expanding the Holden, Louisiana facility to it's current size of 200,000 square feet. Ferrara's extensive line of fire apparatus ranges from a full line of commercial pumpers to their own custom designed fire apparatus, which includes pumpers, Attachment A, Page 15 of 198 tankers, hazmat units, large and small rescue vehicles, and a complete line of aerial ladders and platforms. Taking the'cue from major business enterprises that stress the initiative of filling customer wants and needs, Ferrara now offers the "market driven" concept to the fire service customers. Just as no two fires are identical, no two fire departments are exactly alike. Ferrara is the only fire apparatus manufacturer in the industry that offers its customers the widest variety of body styles and construction materials, from Galvanneal steel, aluminum, and stainless steel; modular and unitized all-welded bodies, to Ferrara's premium all extruded aluminum. The corporation's commitment to top quality, premium service, and outstanding performance at an affordable price has been the trademark of Ferrara and has directly contributed to the success and reputation it is fortunate to enjoy in the fire service industry. At Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc., the customer is considered to be a very valuable asset. FFA listens to its customers and is, therefore, able to devise many of the innovative ideas available on the market today. To this end, Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. is the only fire apparatus manufacturer in the country that provides its customers a 24-hour emergency hotline for warranty and service. Service after the sale is a mainstay at Ferrara. Everything built by Ferrara's is designed to be easy to use, easy to service, and tough enough to give many years of dependable service. Every product is backed with the best warranties in the business. Additionally, Ferrara's dealer network spans across the United States, Canada, and internationally with successful sales and service centers throughout. Ferrara services their customers with the acquisition of top quality personnel from across the fire service industry. The future looks very bright for Ferrara and it's team. In the design of the Holden, Louisiana facility, Chris Ferrara left no reason for doubt that Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. was to play a major role in the future industry of fire service. With Chris' keen focus on marketing advantages and his aggressive approach to unsurpassed service and integrity, and quite simply, giving the customer what they want, he continues to research the market in search of development of future designs and new production concepts. Even for the future, the customer service approach in construction makes Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. a cut above the rest.

MECHANIC FRIENDLY DESIGN In the nearly 19 years FERRARA has been manufacturing fire apparatus, we have seen few, if any, products provided that are so easily maintained with access to all serviceable components. Hinged gauge panels, large left and right pump panel-service doors, bolt-on compartment tops, removable access panels to wiring, bolt on wheel well liners and dozens of other features make a FERRARA truck the choice your mechanics will find the easiest to service and maintain. 34.

The proposal consideration information he sent to me was very valuable in dealing with the Mayor and City Commission. I believe you are lucky to have a elan like him on your staff. Our delivery only took one month and his recent delivery took about 9 months, you think he would take the things he learns from work home with him. I don't know what to say about Chief Hurst. He was a joy to work with and I was so looking forward to coining back to just talk with him but the storms put a stop to that. I can tell he takes his job very seriously and seems to love his job. Its not often you find someone like him to work with.. I think people like him don't come around very often. He is also a great asset to your organization. If you know of anyone in our area who is looking for a ladder truck I would be glad to show them ours. I have been impressed with your company and look forward to working with you in the future.

This letter is in reference to our transaction with.your company regarding a xiew pumper tanker we recently purchased.. I felt as chief of the department compelled to write you regarding our satisfaction with your company and our salespersons,Davy:Carlton and f Randy McClendon. Both of them were invaluable to us throughout the pro ss. From the beginning,they were available to us any time we needed. Randy shade;several visits to myselrin various locations(i.e.horne,work,fire department),dropping of'blueprints. There were countless telephone calls at all times o:E the day, night,and weekends. If I left a message,they returned my calls expediently. They made a complex sitUation simple. Second,I would like to say something about our trip. Having never been to a factory to { seethe operation first hand,I didn't have anytI. ng to compare it to. Now,after discussions with rather departraen,ts, I feet fortunate to bane had shy First experience with Ferrara. The delivery team assigned to us were fantastic. Any problem we found or change we wanted was taken care of. :It was advantageous to see other trucks in the process,also. It.gave us the ability to see if their options were the same as ours,how the options would work,and if we needed to add something,delete something,or change it altogether. I appreciated the lunch and dinner,and the place to sleep. It made:for a easier trip harm. Finally,just a note about your company. I am impressed. 1 feel if l have to visit another f comparny,they will have to do a lot to c onie close to'what l saw at Ferra m, When in the future we have the opportunity to purchase another track,I will come to the factory first to see all the options beforehand.

Lee Chambers was the sales representative that catered to our needs and price range. His professional and expedient handling of our account was more then helpful. Once the light bar ! arrived some of our installation personnel had installation questions and again I phoned Lee and he was very helpful. Bert McCutcheon called me shortly thereafter, and coordinated to send a Ferrara employee to our Fleet Operations Center the next morning, Shane Charles (electrical supervisor) came to our Fleet Operations Center and without haste, installed the light bar within two hours. Shane's knowledge and professional mannerism speaks greatly for your company. I was amazed at the cooperation that Shane had when working with people he did not know. All three of your employees worked very quickly and efficiently to make sure the job was done. In this case I can honestly say that your company employees went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure this was a flawless transactions and because of that I cannot tell you how grateful I am for their hospitality.

Box 249 Holden, Louisiana 70744 Dear� a�; J� How surprised I was when I received the beautiful framed photograph of Pittsburgh's four Ferrara ladder trucks. Overwhelmed would be a better word. As you might suspect it brought back a flood of memories, remembering major fires I attended and seeing one (or more) of these ladder trucks in action on those same incidents. One of the great things about excellent apparatus is, while there's more than enough to worry and be concerned about at fires, outstanding fire apparatus such as you at Ferrara provide is not one of them! A good feeling I might add. Ironic, or so it seems, is the photo background of"3 River Stadium,"which like myself is no longer there in Pittsburgh(new stadiums); however, it brings back many memories as well. I'm comforted though knowing when called upon, these four Ferrara Ladder Trucks continue to "lead the way" in Pittsburgh's fire fighting work. They provide what every fire fighter really wants in fire apparatus—well designed, well built, and most importantly dependable! For all Pittsburgh firefighters and officers, as well as myself, a heartfelt thank-you Joel, to you and everyone at Ferrara Fire Apparatus, for a job well done.

Such as the tour of your facility, we are really impressed with the quality of craftsmanship from the chassis shop to fabrication to the detail shop. We also appreciate the patients for the long process of specing the truck for our needs. We really like the way all compartments turned out, they were exactly how we speced them. In the past we dealt with S&S, we thought it would be a hassle to travel to Louisiana from Indiana. Soon we realized the further we traveled the more pleased with your service we were. We appreciated the use of the break room in the detail area, it made us feel at home. Special thanks to the warranty Department to Beth she explained everything very thorough. Special thanks to Glen Harding for going through the truck at final inspection and had things fixed that we didn't see. Special thanks to Erin for the thorough pump training & everything that he did. Special thanks to Ronnie in the chassis shop for installing the radio's and two extra fans, job very well done.

PO Box 249 Holden, LA 70744 Mr. Ferrara: It is our pleasure to write this letter thanking you and your staff for the wonderful hospitality shown on our recent trip to your facility for a pre-construction meeting for our apparatus. We were pleased to see employees that were happy with what they were doing, happy with their employer, and working in a top notched facility. We feel that this attitude reflects in the quality of the products they manufacture. In addition to the friendly, courteous, and helpful nature of the employees in the plant, there are several others that went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was an informative and enjoyable one. These persons also helped us to understand how our engine will be constructed based on their first hand experience and extensive knowledge. The first to commend is Glen Harding. Mr. Harding, who spearheaded the pre- construction meeting, went out of his way to assist us in making decisions and changes to the engine that were in our best interest and that we would be pleased with down the road. He offered advice on technical aspects that were unfamiliar to us and never left a question unanswered,no matter how insignificant. His expertise and professionalism in fire truck manufacturing, along with a personable nature, were a great help in a process we were unfamiliar with. Another person worthy of commendation is Mike Ken. Mr. Kerr, who also assisted with the meeting, was also a great contributor of information and advice. He is very familiar with the specifications we submitted, and this showed as the meeting progressed. He — leek-the time to 4earn whyqu sted omeTof-t d-and-made several Attachment A, Page 50 of 198 suggestions that were taken by us. He also took the time to get to know us which is uncommon with most industries today. He has a great personality that deserves recognition. Last, but certainly not least, is Mike White. Mr. White went out of his way to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. In addition to making our stay comfortable, Mr. White also wanted us to be pleased with how our truck is to be constructed, which he accomplished. He also offered advice and gave us a top notched tour of the plant. It is evident he is very familiar with the construction of Ferrara's trucks. He also goes above and beyond selling a truck. He has helped us in areas beyond Fire trucks. He deserves recommendation for this as well. So far we are very pleased with our decision to purchase our engine from Ferrara. We have arranged to fiend two additional trips to the facility to check the progress of our truck. We are excited about this truck, and look forward to the possibility of future purchases from you and your staff Again, thank you and your staff for everything. Respectfully, Alex St.Clair Asst.

Our members were invited to the dinner and tour of the Aquarium during the Exposition. The evening was a very special to our group. We appreciate your generous hospitality. Our department has purchased two Ferrara pumpers over the past three years. The pumpers have served our community without any problems. Our dealer, Bob Smith, has gone out of his way to serve our needs. Bob should be commended for the many trips to Watkinsville, Georgia in representing Ferrara. In the twenty-five years of fire service, I've never experienced the amount of service and sincere work that Bob Smith provides to our department. We plan to purchase a new mini-pumper this year. I look forward to working with Ferrara on this purchase. Again, thank you for your hard work in satisfying the customer needs. Sincerely, r-R- Bruce J.

Without a doubt, the reception that you sponsored at the Aquarium was a standard ,for the others to measure up to. Additionally, the many Ferrara apparatus that were located around the casino and aquarium, added that special touch. I also wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your recognition of First Responder Fire & Safety with the Rookie of the Year Award. I personally know how hard Bob Smith and Bill Austin work at promoting Ferrara Fire Apparatus, as well as assisting my department and others, with our needs. Of course, I'm exceptionally happy since they are based out of Riverdale, GA. Again, without being too metaphoric, congratulations on the grand slam that you all hit! As I told Bob just the other day, Ferrara has always had a great product, but I believe that you now have everybody's attention. I know I am proud to have two Ferrara apparatus as my first out fleet.

Upon the many visits to your plant during the construction of our truck, the people like Glynn Harding, Darryl and the other people working on the truck were very helpful.

P.O. Box 249 Holden, LA 70744 Dear Chris, I wanted to personally thank you for the high value you place on customer service and the quality of the people you employ to deliver the exceptional service for which your company is known. You know already how important the new Ferrara 1750 pumper is to the City of Bay St. Louis. We have had newspaper and television coverage receiving our newest Engine 1, more coverage as our firefighters were trained on the use of the truck. Of course, we have been enjoying serious bragging rights throughout the county because of having the newest pumper on the block with our special innovations. You can imagine my Captain's dismay when returning from a training run she discovered large amounts of hydraulic oil leaking from the area of the A.M.P.S. unit on Friday evening at 8 p.m. I was notified immediately about the leak and called the 800 number provided for emergency warranty service. This call led me to the voice mail of Mike Supal Ferrara's service/warranty advisor. 1 honestly did not except to have my call returned for serval hours. After all, it was Friday night, 8 p.m., prime time for dinner and relaxation. I was not only surprised, but ashamed for even being concerned about a return call, because within 15 minutes of leaving my message Mr. Supal returned my call. I explained our serious situation and was promised that a service technician would be on site that night. At 11:30 p.m. Gerald Mizell, delivery engineer, arrived at the Bay St. Louis station to inspect Engine 1 and confirm that the problem was in the A.M.P.S. unit. He said that he would return later in the morning with the proper parts to make repairs or replace the unit. At 9 a.m. Saturday morning Supal called to let me know that another A.M.P.S. unit was on its way while Mizell was removing the damaged unit from the pumper. The repairs were completed and Engine 1 back in service by 4 p.m. that afternoon. My staff and I were kept informed throughout the repair process. Attachment A, Page 58 of 198 We never had the chance to be concerned that we would not be able to have Engine 1 returned to service quickly in order to insure the public's safety in Bay St. Louis. Your employees were prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. I know that it's your job to honor our warranty. I know your reputation for customer service. However, I have never worked with a company that so thoroughly stands behind its work, thank you. My parents raised me to believe that a man's word is his bond when he shakes your hand. I'm glad to shake your hand and the hands of your employees any day. I will be sure that the Mayor and City Council know how fortunate we were to select Ferrara to build and service Engine 1.

Safe,dependable and efficient equipment is essential to their success on the job and for their safety,so seeing our new engine under construction was very special. The organization of the Ferrara plant and the workstations for the vehicles under construction was very impressive. Safety is obviously of primary importance to your company, followed by the quality of your equipment. Your work areas were free of any debris;the work carts were organized and trash free. Your shop employees were clean and neat in dress. The overall friendliness in the smiles and nods to strange visitors made me feel very welcome: I can well understand why Chief Gavagnie is proud to be making our purchase through your company. With his military background he is a stickler for organization and holds his company to very high standards. Ferrara exceeded what I know to be his demanding expectations. On a side note I was surprised and pleased to see a woman on the work floor at what appeared to be a metal cutting station. I admire women who meet the challenges of non-traditional professions and business owners and managers with no prejudice. I want to thank you for the time you took to show me the plant and explain its operations. The growth of the company and its product development makes me envious of the community that is so fortunate to have Ferrara as a corporate citizen. Bay St. Louis will certainly be proud of our new pumper and I know every child who gets his tour during Fire Prevention Week will be just as impressed as I was yesterday.

The truck looks and performs great. I am a person who is a pessimist and am very hard to please, so this is a rarity. Shane Dulany sold this truck to us by bringing the demonstrator and letting us drive and use it. Before he did this, I would not have purchased this particular truck. Dave Carlton worked with me diligently on pricing and options before we bid the truck and after the bid was accepted. We visited the shop on three occasions, pre-construction, mid-construction, and final acceptance. All shop employees that we encountered were very helpful and knowledgeable. The workmanship on the pumper body is excellent. The truck went on the assembly line three days before New Year's Day and was finished on March 13, 1999. We placed the order in mid-December. The delivery time is almost unbelievable and must rank the quickest in the industry. Thanks again, and we look forward to working with you on our next truck purchase.

Normally would not have been too concerned because I would simply make a telephone call to your company and the Warranty Department would correct the problem. However, this incident did worry me because it was approximately 6:15 a.m. Saturday morning. Not knowing what type of help I would receive, I telephoned your company. I followed the directions on your answering machine not really expecting to hear from your company until Monday morning. To my surprise, and pleasure, Mike Supal called me right back. He advised me that he would start working right away to have someone over here that morning to correct the problem. I am pleased to say that before 11:00 a.m. Russell Babin was setting at our fire station. While the problem did not turn out to be as serious as we thought, Russell corrected it and showed us how to avoid the problem in the future. Chris, I am writing this letter simply to say that I appreciate the level of service that you provide your customers. Your warranty department has always addressed my problems, no matter how small they may have been. This latest example of your companies commitment to stand behind what you sell is a breath of fresh air. In todays' world of fly- by-night salesman and companies, it is good to know that you and your people really do care about us the end users.

The truck we purchased from Ferrara just turned one year old, and I could not be more pleased with the quality of the truck. It has met our expectations in every aspect; performance, quality of workmanship throughout the vehicle, and the overall looks of the truck. We are truly pleased. While I'm at it, I want to brag about a couple of your employees. Eric Adams has called me personally several times during the past year to insure that our truck was operating as expected, and I really appreciate the interest he has shown. Doug Bradford took over our account in early 1997, and I have never had a more considerate, knowledgeable, and respectful salesman call on me. Doug has never come across as pushy, yet he is always prompt to return my caps, regardless of where he is or what he is doing. I appreciate that in a salesman. As far as I'm concerned there is none better than Doug.

Box 249 Holden, !.A 70744 Chris: Recently, our department had a large scale, time consuming fire, in our Western community. We had some bi-products of the sugar industries burning. The pile consisted of and area 120 feet-high.and encompassed approximately ten acres of land. With the assistance of the State Forestry Service, employees of Osceola Farms, and surrounding communities we were able to handle this situation in two and one- half days. The reason I am bringing this to your attention is because of the fine piece of equipment you manufacture that.was really put to the test. One particular pumper that we had recently purchased from you, pumped continually for a period of more than twenty four hours at 150 PSI. At the conclusion of this incident we brought it to the shop and went completely over it to see if there were any problems. To our surprise and delight there were none. You and your organization can be proud-of what you-produce.-and how well it holds up during actual situations. In conclusion, all I can say is "A job well done by all." Sincerely, John E.

I had a good idea what I wanted and needed for our department and with Harold Fontenoes help I.got what I.waated.I As.you know everyone wanted to write the specs,but they were wasting their time because I didn't-want anyone but 11dr Harold and his no pressure approach. Mr. Harold and I made a few trigs to Opelousas and Baton Rouge to check out new pumpers, from there we added and deleted until we came up with the pumper that we proudly own today. I was impressed with the energy and knowledge your staff put forth whey I toured your plant. Your employees were very helpful every.step of the way. During coastructi0a whenever there was a question they would beep me to fnd'out what my feelings were, and a few times they beeped me with suggestions to improve the truck, I liked that, you people are the experts and I am always open to suggestions. Another thing, I was always welcome.at the plant curing cons" an, I think I visited once a week. "l hat wouldn't have been possible if our truck had been built in another. state. Chris, I want to cangmudate you and your family on the successful Grand Opening of your new plant last Saturday. WOWI I When you do something, you really do it right, even down to the weather. I really enjoyed my day.
