The document contains instructions and specifications for a bid submission for a 4-wheel drive backhoe loader with an extendable dipperstick. The document states that bids must be submitted in duplicate to the Purchasing Department and any changes or interpretations must be requested at least five days before the scheduled bid opening date. It also mentions that incomplete or improperly endorsed bids may be rejected, and conditional bids will not be accepted.
The document includes a Certificate of Good Faith form that must be provided with the bid, certifying that the bid has been made in good faith without collusion or fraud. The form requires the name and signature of the person signing the bid, as well as the name of the company.
The specifications for the backhoe loader include requirements for the engine, transmission, front axle, final drive, brakes, steering, tires, loader, ride control, and backhoe. The engine must be a diesel, 4-cylinder, turbocharged, and meet certain specifications for horsepower, torque, and EPA certification. The transmission should have a torque converter with a full power-shift and electrically activated twist grip. The front axle should have mechanical front wheel drive with limited slip differentials, and the rear axle should have an operator-controlled differential lock. The brakes should be hydraulically actuated wet disk brakes, and there should be a separate parking/secondary brake system. The steering should be hydrostatic power with emergency dead engine steering. The tires should be a specific size and tread. The loader should have a pin-on bucket with certain specifications for breakout force, lifting capacity, and dump clearance. The backhoe should have a specific digging depth, boom lifting capacity, dipperstick lift, and bucket digging force. It should also be equipped with stabilizers, a front counterweight, and a lifting hook. The electrical system should be 12 volt with a certain alternator and battery specifications.
Additionally, the backhoe loader should have four front driving/work halogen lights, four rear halogen lights, and two cab rear side corner (docking) lights as part of its lighting system. These lights are required to provide adequate visibility during operation.
