About this file

This is Addendum #01 to Bid Invitation 194-25 issued by the New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, Division of Procurement and Support Services, for loader mounted wing posts. The solicitation seeks bids for the retrofit of two Caterpillar 926M All-Wheel Drive Articulated Wheel Loaders (one 2016 model with serial number CAT0926MJLTE02295 and one 2017 model with serial number CAT0926MLLTE03968) with hydraulic plow wing towers permanently attached to the right side of the front articulating frame. The addendum addresses clarifications regarding acceptable wing systems, material specifications, valve mounting locations, and equipment documentation requirements. The final day for submitting questions was May 14, 2025, with the bid due date established as May 21, 2025, at 9:00 AM Eastern Time. The addendum confirms that certain wing system designs requiring the front plow to be raised for high-wing operations are not acceptable due to safety concerns, and that chrome-plated cylinder rods cannot be substituted for nitride specifications. Vendors must provide detailed photographs of each loader, including overall and close-up side views, interior cab views showing control installation areas, and legible serial tags for dealer coordination purposes.

The addendum does not disclose specific pricing terms, set-aside designations, incumbent vendor information, or funding sources. All changes noted in this addendum supersede previously submitted documents and must be included with bid submissions. All other specifications from the original bid solicitation remain unchanged and valid. Respondents must acknowledge receipt of the addendum by signing and returning the form provided, which requires submission of business name, address, contact information, and email address to the purchasing agent, Abigail Poole, at NH.Purchasing@das.nh.gov. Complete bid documents and addendums are available on the New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services website at https://das.nh.gov/purchasing/vendorresources.aspx.

ADDENDUM # 01 TO BID INVITATION 194-25

DATE AND TIME OF BID CLOSING: 5/21/2025 9:00 AM

FOR: Loader Mounted Wing Post

QUESTION: Would this wing system be acceptable to bid?

STATE’S RESPONSE: The State would not accept this system, the units these would be mounted to perform a lot of “High Wing” operations. This system requires the front plow to be up in the air in order to accomplish this. This creates a considerable safety concern for the State.

QUESTION: Are chrome-plated cylinder rods acceptable in lieu of nitride?

STATE’S RESPONSE: No

QUESTION: Is it acceptable to mount the valve on the rear articulating frame, provided it is adequately protected? (This prevents the need to route valve control cables across the articulation point.)

STATE’S RESPONSE: Please provide more information as to the exact proposed location.

QUESTION: Can you provide some photos of each loader, as follows, to ensure equipment can be installed in the specified locations:

1. An overall side view from the right-hand side

2. A side view of the right-hand side that is more close-up, showing the area just ahead of the articulation point (where the wing mount is to be installed)

3. A view inside the cab, looking toward the right-hand side that shows the area where the plow & wing controls are to be installed

4. The serial tag, with a legible serial number (to allow us to work with the dealer on additional questions specific to each loader, if it becomes necessary)

STATE’S RESPONSE: Equipment info:

1: 2017 CAT 926M S/N CAT0926MLLTE03968

2: 2016 CAT 926M S/N CAT0926MJLTE02295
