Request for Technical Literature

(a) The bidder shall provide, with its bid, descriptive literature that has previously been used to market the proposed equipment. The literature will be used to technically evaluate the bids and shall describe how the equipment meets the requirements of the specification; specifically the paragraphs:

Information furnished Ref. paragraph

1. Hoist paragraph 5.1-5.10

2. Carrier paragraph 6.1-6.3

3. Bridge paragraph 7.1-7.4

(b) The features required above to be shown in the descriptive literature are necessary to consider the bid responsive. If the bidder's preprinted literature does not show all these features, the bidder must attach a letter of supplemental information to the literature describing in detail those required features. All literature and supplemental information shall be in the US Customary System of Units and the English language.

(c) The failure of descriptive literature to show that the product offered conforms to the requirements of this solicitation will require rejection of the bid.

(d) Descriptive literature furnished under this solicitation that contains statements similar to "specifications are subject to change without notice", "bid is subject to the following conditions", or "prices are subject to change without notice" shall not be considered for an award. These types of statements qualifies the bid and the Government has no assurance the products offered conforms to the specification; therefore, the bid is not considered a firm bid and will not be considered for an award.

(e) Bidders who furnish a product catalog to satisfy this requirement must indicate which item are the subjects of the bid by highlighting marking and/or citation of model numbers and page numbers from the catalog in Section B of the IFB along with the bid price. Bids, which fail to clearly establish what item or items are bid, will be considered as nonresponsive.
