I just wanted to bring to your attention a few items <br />which are listed below. <br />* Treasure Coast Contracting is a local company; licensed and <br />located in Indian River County. <br />* Treasure Coast Contracting works almost solely in Indian River <br />County, and is always available and on call for call-backs or <br />in case of an emergency. <br />* Treasure Coast Contracting pays real estate, tangible personal <br />property and sales taxes in Indian River County. <br />* All of my employees reside in, pay taxes in, and buy goods <br />and services, etc. in Indian River County. <br />I feel that since the bid was so close, it would be advantageous to Indian River <br />County and Treasure Coast Contracting to award this contract to a local company, <br />thereby keeping the monies paid out on this contract in the local economy. <br />I appreciate the time and consideration that you have taken before making your decision. <br />Respectfully yours, <br />7:1��" <br />Lawrence J.
