Buying on a purchase order
Cities, counties and public agencies buy on a PO with net 30 terms. Everyone else pays by card or ACH before the truck is scheduled. Here is the paperwork and the path through it.
The path
01
Request a quote
Pick your government or public agency on the form, or call the desk. Say which department and which fiscal year.
02
We send the quote and the vendor pack
W-9, certificate of insurance, and whatever your portal needs to register us.
03
You raise the PO
The quote number is the reference. Net 30 terms on approval.
04
We schedule and deliver
Invoice follows delivery, with the PO number on it, in the format your AP office asked for.
What we send
- W-9On request, same day
- Certificate of insuranceNamed certificate holder
- Vendor registrationYour portal, we fill it
- Quote on letterheadWith a quote number
Additional insured endorsements and specific insurance limits are confirmed with our carrier before we promise them. Tell the desk what your contract requires and we will tell you plainly whether we meet it.
Send a PO to po@americanbarrierblocks.comLanguage you can reuse
For a specification or a requisition, where the department needs the product described without a brand attached:
Precast concrete barrier units, nominal 6 ft x 2 ft x 2 ft, approximately 3,600 lb each, interlocking top and bottom profile, delivered by flatbed to the address in this order. Supplier to schedule delivery and provide the certificate of insurance named above. Unloading by others unless placement is quoted.
Copy it, change what your job needs, and send it out for quotes. We would rather compete on answering the phone than on being the only name a department is allowed to call.
Tell us the job. We send a number.
Product, count, delivery ZIP and the date you need it. The desk prices it and emails an itemized quote, freight included, within the hour during desk hours.
