Statement of Work (SOW) Project: Plot Combine Transportation
GENERAL INFORMATION
1.0 Scope of Work: The USDA-ARS Germplasm Enhancement of Maize (GEM)
Project in Ames, IA is seeking transportation services for a plot research corn combine to seven locations in Iowa between mid-September and late-December.
2.0 Background: The GEM Project conducts yield trial plot research at seven locations in Iowa. Transport of harvest equipment to these sites is contracted each year to allow timely harvest of the research trials. The contracted vendor must have the proper equipment and hauling schedule flexibility to provide safe transport of equipment between sites on the schedule set by the research team.
CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS
3.0 Technical Requirements/Tasks: The load is a New Holland TR-88 combine and a
4-row corn head with the following approximate specifications:
• Weight: 33,000 lbs.
• Length: 390”
• Width: 134”
• Height: 143”
Preference will be given to vendors with equipment that can support the full width of the drive tires during loading and transport. The wheels must remain on the combine during transport to facilitate quick loading and unloading. Previous years’ movements have required a low-boy trailer but any truck/tractor and trailer configuration capable of moving the combine without causing damage will be suitable. Vendors must be able to load and unload the combine.
Research plot locations are within 5-10 miles of each town listed; vendors must be flexible in delivery/pickup locations within that mileage radius.
The size of the load requires a valid Iowa DOT permit for oversize-load. The vendor receiving the award is responsible for provision of all Iowa DOT oversize-load signage and flagging as required by the permit.
Haul locations are listed below. The exact sequence and pattern of segments may vary depending on when each plot location is ready for harvest.
