Waterhog 130mil - Alternative

CIBC ALTERNATIVE FLOOR MAT PROPOSAL

Bi-Level Matting CDF Cleaning Technology

August 30, 2017 To Whom It May Concern

Dear Sir/Madam Subject: Executive Mat Service I am pleased to provide this letter of reference for Executive Mat Service.

As with any organization, of vital importance to the Saskatchewan Abilities Council is ensuring our clients, visitors and staff members have a safe environment in which to receive services and carry on business. This focus on safety extends to our floors and flooring surfaces. It is important to us that our floor surfaces are free of tripping hazards, wetness, and that they can accommodate a variety of mobility equipment and needs. To that extent, we are pleased to have installed Executive Mat’s Waterhog Plus matting. The Waterhog Plus mat provides a safe, clean surface that stays in place and is able to accommodate mobility devices and needs. We are pleased with the functionality, look and, most importantly the safety the mats bring.

The Council’s experience with Executive Mat has been excellent. We were able to trial the mats to ensure they met our needs and we benefited from working with a local company that provides direct and ongoing contact with expertise and years of experience in the field of commercial matting. I would not hesitate to recommend Executive Mat. Thank you and please contact me for further information.

Yours truly, SASKATCHEWAN ABILITIES COUNCIL INC.

Karen Moore Director of Provincial Services Yours truly,

DRAFT ONLY Canadian Bank Reduces Carbon Footprint While Improving Safety At Branches Across Canada.

Industry Sector: All buildings Measures used: Energy (kWh) associated with supplying heated water to clean and sanitize commercial entry matting.

A study has been conducted to determine the cost benefits of adopting Waterhog Plus safety floor matting, including significant reductions in greenhouse has (GHG) emissions.

Background CIBC is one of Canada’s 5 big banks with over 11 million clients, 40,000 employees and 1,100 Branches across Canada.

CIBC has engaged 3rd party floor mat service providers to supply the Branches with industry standard matting. Each Branch uses on average 150 square feet of matting and the matting is exchanged out on an every week schedule.

Traditional rental matting tends to be light weight with a tendency to distort causing the matting to develop bacon-like ripples. These ripples cause the matting to become a significant trip hazard.

Executive Mat Service, a Canadian based floor mat service provider, has introduced an innovative service for the mat service industry.

Executive Mat’s bi-level construction matting is made with 100% recycled fiber along with 90 mil nitrile rubber. The matting has been proven to outperform traditional matting in side-by-side testing.

Technology Name Bi-Level -CDF Energy Use Reduction 1.37 million kWh per annum Water Use Reduction 22.68 million litres per annum GHG Emission Reduction 2.4 million lbs. CO2e per annum (based on Alberta CO2 water intensity) Other Savings Zero incidence of slip/trip and fall.

“Not only has the Bi-Level-CDF floor matting program been a key component of our building cleanliness and safety strategy, it also helps achieve our carbon footprint reduction objectives.”

Chris Smith - CF Chinook Centre

Cleaner safer flooring Reduced slip & fall

CDF Technology

Executive Mat has developed a new technology (CDF mat washer) for cleaning their bi-level matting that keeps the matting working and looking like new indefinitely. The CDF washes, sanitizes, dries and rolls the matting in one single operation while consuming 99% less water than traditional washing technology.

Extensive testing in the harshest environments has proven that the bilevel mat service is very effective on an every-four-week service schedule. This program produces significant cost reductions in addition to energy intensity reductions.

CIBC Calculations: 1,100 Branches @ 150 ft2 / Branch = 165,000 ft2 Washed weekly = 165,000 x 52 = 8,580,000 ft2 per annum Bi-Level – CDF Program 165,000 ft2 x 13 changes = 2,145,000 ft2 /annum.
