Manufacturer Celebrates Milestone


MINNEAPOLIS (August 13)—Lindgren Machinery, a manufacturer of precision machine parts, recently celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of its founding. The company was started by Jona Lindgren, who began his career as an apprentice at a metal parts firm in Sweden. He eventually immigrated to the United States and settled in the outskirts of the city of Minneapolis. Mr. Lindgren established a modest enterprise that grew, generating most of its revenue from the production of custom machine parts.

Thirty years ago, Lindgren Machinery was purchased by James Wallin. Today, the firm continues as a family-owned and family-directed operation. In recent years, current president and CEO Mary Wallin has gradually assumed the leadership role from her father.

Lindgren Machinery makes parts for airplanes, exercise equipment, and healthcare devices. According to Ms. Wallin, the company is planning to expand its facility and add capacity as its product list grows and diversifies.

Request for Proposal

Purpose

The City of New Langston is seeking proposals for the manufacture and installation of electronic signage at bus stops throughout the city. New Langston plans to deploy new electronic signs that display real-time arrival information to bus riders.

Background

Currently, New Langstons bus stops are marked by simple metal signs displaying only the location of the stop and the lines that stop at the location. Cities around the world have begun to incorporate real-time arrival information into bus stop signage. Electronic signs are proving to be very popular with riders, and studies show that the introduction of such signage has contributed to increased ridership in numerous cities.

Project Description

The successful bidder will provide New Langston with up to 350 electronic signs. The signs must be powered by solar energy and have a battery backup allowing them to operate at night, on cloudy days, and in all weather conditions. The signs must have a reliability factor of at least 99 percent. The signs must display at least three and no more than five lines of text, and be connected to the Internet in order to provide real-time information to bus riders.

Please submit detailed bids outlining costs by 11:59 p.m. on May 31 to the City of New Langston Regional Council at regionalcoimcil@cityofnewlangston.gov.

Date: 6 April
Subject: Trencher machine

Hi Sharia,

You had mentioned the other day that you anticipate needing to dig an irrigation trench on your property, just as I do. I wanted to let you know that I did some searching on the Zolio Rentals Web site, and 1 have decided that tomorrow I am going to rent the smallest trencher that is available. I will need the machine only for a couple of hours, but since the closest rental location is 45 minutes away in Durham, and it will take time to load it onto my truck both for the trip home and back to Durham again, I have decided to rent the machine for a full day.

Would you want to use the machine while I have it? If so, we can coordinate our schedules, and I can bring it to you after I finish. Then I can return the trencher to Zolio Rentals the next morning. I will gladly cover the entire rental fee. It is my way of returning the favour for your help with my lawn mower last autumn. Please let me know.

Regards,

Ralph

Hi Susan,

I’m supposed to complete my first water testing on May 20. Are you available to meet me there to help me do it correctly? I’m available any time between 3:00 P.M. and 6:00 P.M. I looked up the site online, and it looks like we will have to park about half a kilometer away from the river and then walk to the site. Ms. Schroeder mentioned that it will add about 30 minutes to our trip.

Also, do you have an extra water-testing kit? It looks like mine is missing a few pieces. Can we use one of yours until I can get my supplies replaced?

Thanks,

Mary

To: Kristof Szasz <kszasz@budaceramics.com>
From: Anouk Ayala <aayala@ayala.net>
Subject: Solar power options
Date: January 25

Dear Mr. Szasz:

Thank you for your recent e-mail requesting recommendations for solar power options for your ceramics company. Before I make a recommendation for which company would best serve your needs, could you answer these questions?

1. How flexible is your budget for solar panel purchase and installation ?

2. What is your time frame? The government plans to provide financial incentives toward the cost of installing solar power that will take effect in about two years.

3. What is the configuration of your property? If you have the space, you could choose to install solar panels in a parking area or on the ground. The first choice consists of canopies over your parking lot, while the second choice is great for large, unused areas.

4. What kind of roof do you have? A flat roof is not ideal. Neither is a roof that has a lot of equipment on it, as there is not enough room for large solar panels.

5. Are you planning on expanding your business in the future?

I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Anouk Ayala

To: Anouk Ayala <aayala@ayala.net>
From: Kristof Szasz <kszasz@budaceramics.com>
Subject: RE: Solar power options
Date: January 27

Dear Ms. Ayala:

Our company headquarters is located outside of the capital city. The ceramics factory occupies approximately one-half of our property. To ensure sufficient cooling, much of the roof space is taken up by industrial-sized air-conditioning units and venting silos for our ovens. The rest of our property contains a sizeable parking lot, because there is no public transportation in the area, and our 150 employees must drive to work.

The solar power business we choose should be well established. We have an inflexible deadline for our current project, so I am willing to sacrifice money to get the panels installed as soon as possible. I hope these answers help you with your recommendation.

Kristof Szasz

http://www.solarinsider.com

Based on a recent customer survey, these four solar power companies in the capital city area are rated the most successful.

Company Specialty Comments
AKX Solar Rooftop Very low cost; a very stable company
Sun365 All types Superior quality; very thorough; but a bit slow
Beranek Systems Parking areas Fast turnaround; but quite expensive
Plutosolar Ground installation Cannot begin until March
