523530 2

1. SCOPE

1.1 The following specifications are intended to meet the requirements of the City of Rochester to make a One Time Purchase of one (1) new and unused portable asphalt recycling machine, capable of recycling up to a maximum of ten (10) tons per hour, of either broken chunk or milled (RAP) asphalt, at the repair site.

1.1.1 The requested make and model of the machine is Bagela BA10000.

1.2 The unit shall be a portable, diesel powered, trailer mounted continuous operating asphalt recycler, designed to recycle asphalt using convection type heating. By design, flame from the burner shall not come in direct contact with material inside mixing drum.

Material is to be loaded into front of recycler via hydraulically operated hopper and discharged through rear of mixing drum at rear of recycler. Recycling operations shall not be interrupted to load or discharge recycled material. Normal output shall equate to one ton of recycled mix approximately every six minutes. The asphalt recycler shall be the manufacturer's current production model.

1.3 Wherever in these specifications a particular make or model number is indicated, it is done solely to establish the level of quality desired. This should not be interpreted to mean that the make or model specified is the only one acceptable. Bidders may submit a City approved equivalent that meets or exceeds the specifications listed herein.

1.3.1 If the bidder submits a bid on a make or model other than specified (an

“alternate”), the bidder must present with the bid a detailed specification describing the items the bidder proposes to furnish.

1.3.2 The bidder shall point out in detail wherein the item(s) proposed to furnish differs from the items called for in these specifications. The Director of Purchasing of the City of Rochester reserves the right to consider whether a substitute meets the requirements of this specification, and the Director of Purchasing's judgment shall be considered final.

1.4 Where any part or parts of the equipment are not specified or specifically mentioned, it shall be understood that what is usually provided as the manufacturer's stock model shall be furnished together with full appurtenances complete and ready for operation.

2. PREPARATION OF PROPOSAL

2.1 The proposal is contained in these contract documents and MUST NOT BE DETACHED

HERE FROM by any bidder when submitting a proposal.

2.2 All blank spaces on the proposal page of these specifications must be correctly filled in.

Either a unit price or a lump sum price, as the case may be, must be stated for each and every item, either typed in or written in ink, in figures, and if requested, in words.

2.3 INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

2.3.1 Proposals will be received by the Director of Purchasing of the City of Rochester in accordance with the contract documents set forth herein.

523530 3

2.3.2 Bids shall be made only on the form(s) provided with these specifications.

2.4 INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED WITH BID

2.4.1 The bidder shall submit with his bid DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS AND DRAWINGS, along with complete descriptions including pictures and catalogs, and all other pertinent data on the equipment he proposes to furnish.

2.5 BASE BID

Attention of the Bidder is called to the fact that the Proposal and Bid Form requires, under Base Bid, the Net Delivered Price covering the item(s) specified. Any deductions for freight allowance, cash discount, or quantity rebate should be included in the total net price, as given on the Proposal sheet, and should not be listed as separate items.

3. METHOD OF AWARD

3.1 Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder whose bid is the lowest best value offer to the City by Net Delivered Unit Price. The City deserves the right to make an award based on the lowest cost to the City after factoring in the cost to the City of any or all Options selected.

3.2 For purposes of this bid, if one or more bids are submitted by a business certified as an

MWBE business by New York State on the date of the bid, the MWBE bidder(s) shall receive a five percent (5%) price advantage over non-MWBE bidders pursuant to Section 8 of Ordinance No. 2018-54. The lowest best value offer shall be defined as the lowest bid after adjusting for any MWBE price advantage. For example, if three bids are received, one for $100.00, one for $103.00, and one by an MWBE business for $105.00., the lowest best value offer would be the bid submitted by the MWBE business for $105.00. If instead the MWBE business submitted a bid for $105.01, the lowest best value offer would be the bid for $100.00. If award of the contract is based upon award by total bid, or by group, or by item, the City reserves the right to determine its lowest best value offer based upon total bid, group and per item prices offered.

3.3 Bidders must include in their bid price all reasonable and necessary transportation, shipping, handling and delivery charges. The City of Rochester does not pay fuel surcharges.

3.4 The Director of Purchasing may reject any bidder who proposes an unacceptable product or cannot prove to the satisfaction of the Director of Purchasing its ability to execute the terms and conditions of this contract.

3.5 The City of Rochester reserves the right to reject any and all bids or proposals of the best interest of the City will be served by such action.
