About this file
This is Addendum No. 1 to RFQ 22-25-003 issued by Effingham County, Georgia, providing supplemental information and clarifications to the original Mid-Size Excavator request for quote dated August 10, 2021. The addendum clarifies specifications for the primary attachment—a 72-inch wide ditching bucket with water release holes and a cutting edge—and establishes warranty requirements of comprehensive coverage for 72 months or 5,000 hours. The contact for the procurement is Alison Bruton, Purchasing Agent. Sealed proposals were due by 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time on Friday, September 3, 2021, at the Effingham County Administrative Complex in Springfield, Georgia. Interested bidders were required to submit an email expressing interest by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, August 23, 2021. No mandatory pre-bid meeting was held. All bidders must acknowledge receipt of this addendum by signing and including a copy with their submitted bid, or risk disqualification at the county's discretion.
The addendum addresses critical cost and coverage considerations, specifically requiring vendors to include travel time and mileage provisions within extended warranty pricing or separately itemize these costs, as the county has experienced $1,000 to $1,500 charges per service call for warranty work on previously purchased equipment. Vendors must also provide protective cab guarding suitable for use with the county's current cutter head. The ditching bucket is the only attachment being bid. All other terms and conditions of the original RFQ remain unchanged. Effingham County reserves the right to reject any and all proposals, waive technicalities or irregularities, and award based on the most responsive and responsible submission.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
ADDENDUM NO. 1
PROJECT: RFQ 22-25-003
Mid-Size Excavator
CONTACT: Alison Bruton, Purchasing Agent

DATE ISSUED: August 27, 2021
RFQ 22-25-003 – Mid-Size Excavator dated August 10, 2021 is hereby amended as noted herein:
BIDDER TO ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF ADDENDUM BY SIGNING ON THE
SIGNATURE LINE BELOW AND INCLUDING A COPY WITH SUBMITTED BID.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY, AT THE OWNER’S DISCRETION, SUBJECT THE BIDDER TO
DISQUALIFICATION
1) QUESTION: Ditching Bucket … how wide? Does it need holes to release water?
Cutting edge?
ANSWER: 72” wide, must have holes for the release of water and a cutting edge
2) QUESTION: Protective Package for cab…. Is this for covering the glass at night or is this for guards around the cab for mulching?
ANSWER: This is for protection when utilizing the County’s current cutter head and must protect front and sides.
3) QUESTION: Is the ditching bucket the only attachment being bid?
ANSWER: Yes
4) QUESTION: There is no stated warranty requested for quote. With that being, said the different warranty options and term options are very wide. Price wise, it can make a $500
- $20,000 swing depending on what you would like to see. Therefor for any vendor it could put them out of the running should they gamble and choose a warranty. Is there a certain style or term warranty that you would like to see?
ANSWER: Comprehensive 72 month / 5000 hours
5) QUESTION: Also, I have discovered where on the Motorgraders that were purchased a few years back, there was no “Travel time and Mileage” included in the bid specs. After talking with Clyde, that is a hot point with the county. Each time a service call is made for warranty, you guys receive a $1000-1500 bill for the travel time and mileage to get to the machine. If we include that up front it will do away with those bills for the term of the warranty? Would you like to see that included? This is also something that could put any vendor out of the running if not included.
ANSWER: If travel time and mileage are not included in the comprehensive warranty and/or extended warranty please list the additional pricing for this in the Extended
Warranty section.
