About this file

This is Addendum #02 to Bid Invitation #61-25 issued by the State of New Hampshire Division of Procurement and Support Services, Bureau of Purchase and Property for a Wheel Loader Backhoe. The bid closing date is December 30, 2024 at 11:00 AM. The addendum addresses three technical questions regarding specifications for the wheel loader backhoe: battery capacity requirements, backhoe bucket size, and loader reach specifications. The state confirmed that two batteries totaling 1700 CCA would be acceptable instead of a single 1900 CCA battery, maintained that backhoe bucket specifications must meet or exceed requirements, and clarified that the 9-foot reach specification applies to the loader and not the backhoe.

The addendum maintains that all changes noted supersede previously submitted documents and must be submitted with the bid, while all other specifications remain unchanged and valid. Questions and responses should be directed to Purchasing Agent Lincoln Adams via NH.Purchasing@das.nh.gov. Complete bid documents and addendums can be accessed through the New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services purchasing website.

ADDENDUM # 02 TO BID INVITATION# 61-25

DATE AND TIME OF BID CLOSING: 12/30/2024 11:00 AM

FOR: Wheel Loader Backhoe

Question #26: 24.1.4 Electrical, Item 24.1.4.2-There already was a question asked about this that is contained in Addendum #01. The answer was that the battery needs to meet the specifications as listed in this item.

There is not a battery made that will fit into a loader backhoe with 1900 CCA’s. Our largest battery for a Backhoe this size is 850CCA’s, as on option we can have the machine built with 2 batteries which would equal 1700 CCA’s, will this be acceptable?

State Response: Must meet or exceed specifications. Yes, this is acceptable.

Question #26: 24.1.7 Backhoe, Item 24.1.7.1.3-There already was a question asked about this that is contained in Addendum #01. The answer was as long as it meets the specifications as listed in this item.

I would not recommend a backhoe bucket on this size machine in the 1 cubic yard capacity. The machine will struggle digging with this big of a bucket and will be very unstable when extended out. Typically, a machine this size has a backhoe bucket in the 6-7 cubic foot range. Can this item be changed?

State Response: A vendors bid submission must meet or exceed the specifications. If your bid exceeds the minimum spec.

then that is acceptable.

Question #26: 24.1.8 Loader, Item 24.1.8.4- There is not a Backhoe made that has a reach at max dump height of 9 Ft. Typically, a machine this size has a reach at max dump height of 2’9”. Can this item be changed?

The reach, that item is not up, it’s out. You have the up as 9’ and the out as 9’. Backhoe Booms can’t reach out 9’ in front of the machines.

State Response: This cannot be changed. Spec number 24.1.8 is for the loader not the backhoe.
