About this file
This is Addendum No. 1 to RFQ 22-25-002 for Effingham County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, issued on August 27, 2021. The addendum clarifies warranty and service requirements for the Crawler Dozer purchase solicitation. Sealed proposals were required to be submitted to the Office of the Purchasing Agent at the Effingham County Administrative Complex, 601 N. Laurel Street, Springfield, Georgia, by 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Friday, September 3, 2021. Interested parties were required to notify the Purchasing Agent of their intent to bid by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, August 23, 2021, via email to abruton@effinghamcounty.org. No mandatory pre-bid meeting was scheduled. Bidders were required to acknowledge receipt of the addendum by signing and including a copy with their submitted bid, with failure to do so potentially resulting in disqualification at the county's discretion.
The addendum addresses two critical pricing considerations for vendors submitting quotations. The county specified that a comprehensive 60-month or 5,000-hour warranty is required, as warranty term and coverage options could create price variations ranging from $500 to $20,000 depending on vendor selections. Additionally, the addendum clarifies that travel time and mileage charges for warranty service calls, which historically resulted in $1,000 to $1,500 bills per service visit, must be addressed in the extended warranty pricing. Vendors are instructed to list any additional costs for travel time and mileage separately in the Extended Warranty section if these costs are not included in the comprehensive or extended warranty offerings. All other terms and conditions of the original RFQ remain unchanged, with the county reserving the right to reject any and all proposals and award based on the most responsive and responsible submission.

DATE ISSUED: August 27, 2021
Crawler Dozer 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: 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 60 months / 5000 hours
2) 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.
