D3 12B LGP TRACTOR CFG34 OUTFITTED FOR WILDLAND FIRE MANAGEMENT - $282,204.00

The Cat D3 LGP Fire Suppression Dozer/Tractor meets the detailed requirements listed in the original solicitation document and must be equipped with a factory-installed Fire Suppression Package designed to help protect the operator and the machine in harsh applications commonly associated with wildland fire responses. This factory-installed wildland fire safety equipment meets industry and National Wildland Fire Coordinating Group wildland fire dozer standards

Fire suppression package consistent with the following non-standard upgrades: A) option for halogen or LED lighting with front work light guard, B) external hinged brush screen release for cleaning, C) hydrostatic winch with variable line speed for load control, D) D-Ring tie downs for safety chaining to trailer, E) 0.47” thick extreme duty bottom guard for protection, F) exhaust pipe secured to sweep for protection, G) sweeps to protect the machine from branches, H) right side hinged door and quick release engine panel on left side for ease of access, I) hinged, heavy duty radiator grill guard for easy access, J) fire sleeve protection covers on coolant lines, diesel exhaust fluid lines, heater hoses, hydraulic lines, K) air intake filter with spark arresting fire elements, L) steel hydraulic tank, M) stainless steel fuel tank, N) internal release on side screens for emergency exit, O) blade hydraulic lines with nylon sleeves protecting hydraulic hoses from puncture or other abrasion damage, P) work lights on three independent circuits for choice of illumination of the work area, Q) manual fuel shut off, R) winch with maximum speed and pull.

Another factor in the selection of this vender is that Caterpillar offers this wildland fire package as factory installed equipment and that comes with the full machinery warranty coverage. The only other option is to purchase a bulldozer and then send it off to multiple different custom fabrication shops to have all of the required safety modifications installed which could take more than a year by which time our factory warranty would be expired or voided due to the end user modifications. In looking at the cost of time, a factory installation of the fire package is the most efficient and cost-effective solution for the government. As Caterpillar is the only company offering this package as a factory installation, brand name only is therefore considered to be most efficient means of delivery to the government.

The Caterpillar 275XE Compact Track Loader factory installed Debris Management (DM2) and Fire Suppression System package with mastication head meets similar requirements/standards associated with this type of wildland fire operations equipment.

Lastly, as these machines are subjected to conditions that are extreme for any use, as well as being utilized anywhere, nearby service is also a factor. Caterpillar service is available nation-wide currently showing 2,392 locations according to this estimation: Number of CAT locations in the USA in 2024 | ScrapeHero.

Text25: Due to the high fire activity, weather, fuel conditions and resource (equipment) availability and the fact the equipment is outfitted and ready to be delivered, it is in the government's best interest to purchase the equipment directly from the manufacturer instead of soliciting the requirement again.

A notice will be publicized as required by part 5.
