RE: Consolidation of Bucher, Willis & Ratliff Corporation
and H.W. Lochner, Inc.
Dear Ms.Tasker:
Bucher, Willis& Ratliff Corporation (BWR) is currently providing services to the City of Salina, Kansas.
On November 12, 2010, BWR merged into, and consolidated with H.W. Lochner, Inc. (Lochner). While
BWR remains in existence as a legal entity, its operations are now part of Lochner, and the BWR
professionals are now employed by Lochner. Accordingly, the same professionals that performed
services under your projects are continuing to perform such services as contained in the contract. When
it would be in the project's best interest and yours as our client, this staff can now be augmented by
Lochner's professional staff and resources as might be required.
Lochner-BWR Division—a merger of values and quality services... Lochner is a national consulting firm
with offices across the nation. With this merger, we now have nearly 600 specialists with a wealth'of
experience. In addition to our traditional services as BWR, as Lochner we can provide additional
infrastructure and transportation services, such as rail and transit, construction management,
engineering and inspection, and alternative delivery, such as design-build and public-private
partnerships.
You can be sure that this is a merger created out of mutual benefit to each company; there Will be no
change, iri the value and quality of service you have experienced in the past or are receiving today.
How does this affect you? This change does not automatically affect contract(s)with BWR. However,
we believe it will be advantageous to assign current contract(s)to H.W. Lochner, Inc. Our obligation is
the same either way, but with the official name of the firm going forward being H.W. Lochner, Inc., there
is merit to completing the change.
Attached is an Assignment and Assumption which reflects the consolidation and Lochner's continuing
performance under the contract.
