I am just curious as to the pricing. There is allot of talk that the pricing is going to be low. We did a Jack in the box for 1,100 a few months ago. we did their parking lot, sidewalks , dumpsters and drive Thur. There was 4 bids. We came in second to the lowest. Got the job based on equipment and experiences.

Since TWS is involved in a Target contract mid west, I heard that Dumpsters go for 165 dollars at Target with full reclamation. People was getting 400+ before contract. Is this going to be the case?

just want to expand on my comment...

is the UAMCC going to be negotiating terms and pricing on contracts with potential clients on behalf of contractor members?

or

will it remain solely an advocate for the pressure washing contractor where awareness (of opportunities) and education (sharing of ideas, tips, knowledge) are the focus.

I can understand where some may have concerns that the individual contractors that make up the industry are having aspects of the competitive environment and what 'makes them different/better' taken away by the national organization.

I can also see where there may be issues with regard to TWS contractors being able to service an account without being UAMCC members.

I'm not trying to rain on the parade, as I do think that it is great that the UAMCC is getting these kind of calls from national customers, it truly shows the growth and progress made :yes:

However, as one of the three primary groups of customers of the UAMCC, the pressure washing contractor(s) may feel a little disjointed at the thought of our organization setting/negotiating prices on contracts - I would argue that the UAMCC should empower contractors by continuing to distribute job opportunities, provide education, share knowledge, etc. etc.

Perhaps I am 100% wrong with my observations, but I think there is some discussion needed on the role of the UAMCC in negotiating pricing.

Hope this helps Steven. Once we have the conference call I am confident that members will walk away from it feeling confident on how the UAMCC has approached this account.

You get $400 for Target dumpsters, and Jim says you're the Walmart of pricing, . Sorry Jim could resist

I wouldnt go near a dumpster at a food place, I hate the smell of grease & food. I think its from my teen years as a busboy

I have a feeling Jim and the rest of the world are going to find out I'm actually high compared to UAMCC pricing.

Good questions/thoughts Steve, but so you know we are not and cannot negotiate pricing and contracts its not the UAMCC role. JITB was going to use a service company, they are testing one with these 154 stores one we knew and one that will work with us at every possibility/opportunity

Steve no we are not going to be setting prices or contracts, The uamcc isnt a pressure washing company, we are not a service company. National JITB wanted a service company, the UAMCC directed them to a member service company, a company that already uses UAMCC members. The UAMCC isnt a service company and cant be with our non profit statis as I understand it, no setting prices or signing contracts or taking anything away. We took a call and responded to it to better position the chance to get this work. Like you say, we are trying to give job opportunities, along with everything else.

Jeff, Carlos

THanks for the clarification... as I said in a message to Jeff, I am of the same mold as what the UAMCC stands for, therefore will try to constructively ask the questions that are floating about.

With the information you have both provided, it is clear now why TWS was chosen and the reason for them being chosen. It is also clear now that the role of the UAMCC was as 'facilitator' since it was unable to service the account due to organizational status.

Thanks guys. :biggrin:
