Tremco Roofing and Building Maintenance together with WTI (Weatherproofing Technologies, Inc.), a subsidiary of Tremco Incorporated, announced they have been awarded a contract for Roofing and Related Services through Educational and Institutional (E&I) Cooperative Purchasing.
BEACHWOOD, Ohio - Tremco Roofing and Building Maintenance together with WTI (Weatherproofing Technologies, Inc.), a subsidiary of Tremco Incorporated, announced they have been awarded a contract for Roofing and Related Services through Educational and Institutional (E&I) Cooperative Purchasing. This contract provides Tremco Roofing and WTI with a distinct product offering in the higher education marketplace.
Based in Jericho, N.Y., E&I is a member-owned, not for profit buying cooperative established by members of the National Association of Educational Procurement (NAEP) in 1934 to provide lower costs for higher education. Current annual E&I Cooperative purchases exceed $1.5 billion, and membership is comprised of over 2,000 institutions.
“The E&I contract provides Tremco Roofing and WTI with an opportunity to further expand our relationship-based sales approach into a key growth market,” said Brian Burden, Tremco Roofing’s Market Development Manager for U.S. Education. “More importantly, it enables prospective higher education clients to work with best-in-class facilities and procurement professionals, as well as highly skilled construction contractors. When colleges and universities elect to partner with E&I and their awarded vendors, they know that proper due diligence has been done. Quality is expected and realized in both the procurement process and in the construction deliverable.”
The Roofing and Related Services contract will allow E&I members to access pre-competed, line-item contracts to address roofing and building envelope needs. The contract is based upon a nationally solicited request for proposal (RFP) and multiple bid responses. Ultimately, Tremco Roofing and WTI were chosen as the sole national provider for this five-year agreement. For more information, visit www.tremcoroofing.com.

Tremco was just fined $61,000,000.00 by the DOJ for abusing GSA contracts. I find it hard to justify exposing our schools to unnecessary suit.
Everything I say is public record, and I can back it up.
Type "School Roofing Scam" into your browser, and then YouTube. and there is no shortage of public there.
Roof Consultant's Institute has a position paper against purchasing cooperatives.
The cooperative excludes "Competitive Bidding". You may not name a "Preferred Vendor" (Tremco), and have their approved applicators bid the job. It eliminates all incentive for Tremco to compete, and the outcome is a foregone conclusion.
Roofinbg may not be chosen from a "Menu" list, and has bo place in a purchasing cooperative, and MAS..
Notice you never see mainstream manufacturers like GAF, Firestone, Carlisle Syntec, Barrett, involved in such taxpayer scams.
Do a tiny bit of research, and you will find what I say is true.
Or:

I suspect you are paying an average of 50% MORE than necessary, and I'd like an administrator to grasp what I'm saying.
You are administrators, not roofing professionals, and I expect you to do some homework.
A MASSIVE groundswell is forming throughout all of North America. This taxpayer abuse will stop, and we will be the ones to stop it.
Note: Retired 2003, I do not solicit, nor accept compensation, or personal advancement of any kind. That includes manufacturers, distributors, consultants, and contractors.
You are allowing "Commissioned Salesmen' to write the specifications, and specifying only their material. It gets much worse from there.
25% of your tax dollar goes directly into a salesmans pocket.
4% goes straight to the purchasing cooperative.
Your tax dollart just became .71, and nothing to show for it.
Stings doesn't it?
Respect.

Forgive the typos, and syntax please.
I didn't have an option to correct it.
I think the point is clear though.
Line should read "no shortage of public record"
