Uncovering the secrets of fresh goods – Ahorramas’ chilled logistics centre Imagine frozen and chilled grocery goods moving around with high speed – in totes, containers and pallets. High quality grocery goods are a prerequisite for the Spanish grocery retailer Ahorramas. For their central warehouse in Spain, they ordered an extensive logistics system at TGW. Grab a thick jacket to discover the new distribution centre of Ahorramas, we are entering arctic temperatures and chilled areas. Since their foundation in 1979, the Spanish grocery retailer Ahorramas has been growing continuously. With about 200 stores located in and around Madrid, the company generated a revenue of almost 1.4 Billion Euros in 2013. The concept of “the store in your neighbourhood” is followed meticulously by pursuing the wish of reliable replenishment of fresh goods in all areas. TGW helps to pursue this strategy and implemented a complex logistics centre in Madrid, Spain. The Arctic in the middle of Spain What happens before the stores receive roller containers full of fresh and frozen food? We invite you to uncover this logistics secret with us. As you can imagine, grocery goods are highly sensitive and they need to be handled immediately after their arrival at the logistics centre in order to provide the best and freshest quality for the customer. Thus, Ahorramas defined a ten hour order batch regarding frozen goods for approximately 200 shops with bundled expedition time slots due to difficult shop access in some areas. 400 SKUs are stored in the frozen area, where 28,000 cartons per day are handled. Ahorramas’ employees prepare 680 roller containers per day, using 14 hours for picking and 10 hours for replenishment. Quite a lot of numbers? Yes, but these numbers are crucial not only for the performance of a distribution centre, but also for the customers. As soon as the goods arrive in the distribution centre, they are sent to the pallet warehouse. After that the

standard terms and conditions of the State's RFP, including the Standard Contract in Exhibit A, if included herein. As such, Vendors whose proposals, in the sole opinion of the State, reflect a substantial number of material exceptions to this RFP, may place themselves at a comparative disadvantage in the evaluation process or risk disqualification of their proposals. For Vendors who have successfully negotiated a contract with ITS in the past, ITS requests that, prior to taking any exceptions to this RFP, the individual(s) preparing this proposal first confer with other individuals who have previously submitted proposals to ITS or participated in contract negotiations with ITS on behalf of their company, to ensure the Vendor is consistent in the items to which it takes exception. For ITS General RFPs, ITS will not review or approve any exceptions taken at the time of the General RFP response submission. If the Vendor’s response is complete, the Vendor will be approved to participate in the Letter of Configuration process under this General RFP but will be marked in the General RFP database as having contractual issues to be dealt with at the time of any future award for a specific project. If and when the Vendor is awarded a project under this General RFP, ITS will be willing to work with the Vendor for acceptable terms and conditions or additional contractual protection as requested by ITS, the Vendor, or the requesting state entity, within the confines of state law. The burden will be on the Vendor to raise the issues from the Proposal Exception Summary Form at that time. Please note that any such negotiations must be substantially within the terms and conditions of the General RFP. Vendors whose proposals reflect a significant number of material exceptions to the General RFP and/or to project-specific requirements for subsequent Letters of Configuration may place themselves at a comparative disadvantage in the evaluation process. PROPOSAL EXCEPTION SUMMARY FORM List and clearly explain any exceptions, for all RFP Sections and Exhibits, in the table below.

A BILL TO AMEND SECTIONS 5656410 AND 5656420, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE REQUIREMENT THAT CERTAIN CHILDREN MUST BE SECURED IN A CHILD PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM WHILE TRAVELING IN A MOTOR VEHICLE, AND THE TRANSPORTATION OF CHILDREN IN A VEHICLE WITH AN INSUFFICIENT NUMBER OF CHILD RESTRAINT DEVICES, SO AS TO REVISE THE AGE, WEIGHT, AND POSITION OF A CHILD WHO MUST BE SECURED IN A CHILD PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM. Whereas, motor vehicle crashes remain the leading cause of accidental death for children ages one to nineteen; and Whereas, South Carolina’s motor vehicle death rate per 100,000 is 20 as compared to a national average of 10.9; and Whereas, each week approximately one South Carolina child seventeen years of age or younger dies from a preventable transportationrelated incident; and Whereas, a child riding unrestrained in a motor vehicle is the greatest risk factor for death and injury among child occupants; and Whereas, child safety seats, when used correctly, can reduce fatalities by seventyone percent for infants and fiftyfour percent for toddlers; and Whereas, the proper use of age- and sizeappropriate child restraint systems is the most effective way to minimize injuries and fatalities to children. Now, therefore,
