Dear Mark:
Thanks for taking the tine recently to share with Scott Owen, Tom Brasfield and me the positive projections for Alibris going into 2003. It certainly is a success story for the unique logistics partnership we forged back in 1998.
Accordingly we wanted to respond to your suggested changes to our contract. With regards to the transition to contracting directly with PSI for agency labor, we have no objections and, at your direction, will delete that provision from our contract. The second request to lower our fee on ODC labor from 24% to 15% depletes our profit margin substantially. As you know, our corporate overhead is just under 10% and such a reduction to 15% would only enable ODC to achieve a 5% pre-tax margin or 2% to 3% after tax. In good faith, however we understand your objectives and, as your alliance partner, would propose a reduction of 4.5% to a new fee of 19.5% on ODC employees.
We hope this compromise is acceptable and, if so, please acknowledge in the space provided below and we look forward to continuing our logistics partnership for many years to come.
Should you have any questions or need more information, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely | Acknowledgement: | |
