Please be advised of the following changes to the above-mentioned solicitation:
I. Questions and Answers:
The following are questions received from Vendors and responses from Illinois Tollway pursuant to the question and answer portion of the above-mentioned solicitation. The Illinois Tollway has provided its answers accordingly.
1. Question: We have reviewed the addendum and would like to request further clarification. Our sweeper design allows power to be taken from the chassis engine and power the sweeper via a pump assembly that is actually two separate variable displacement pumps mounted in tandem. Because we are using the chassis engine to power the sweeper, the engine and transmission are larger than on a dual engine sweeper. Because there are two pumps, they can operate at different loads, unlike single pumps that must operate at the highest system load, sending any leftover energy to the oil cooler as heat. This load splitting reduces fuel consumption and wear. The engine drives both the transmission and pump. Is this design acceptable?
Answer: Yes.
II. RESCHEDULED Electronic Bid Opening Details:
The Bid Opening has been rescheduled for the date and time as published in BidBuy.
