About this file

This is Addendum #2 to Bid Invitation #61-25 issued by the State of New Hampshire, Division of Procurement and Support Services, for the procurement of one 2025 Wheel Loader Backhoe for the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources. The addendum addresses three vendor inquiries regarding technical specifications and clarifies state responses to proposed modifications. The bid closing date remains December 30, 2024, at 11:00 AM. The addendum confirms that bidders must meet or exceed all stated specifications, with limited flexibility permitted in certain areas: dual battery configurations totaling 1,700 CCA may substitute for the 1,900 CCA requirement, and backhoe bucket capacities exceeding the 1 cubic yard minimum specification are acceptable. However, the addendum maintains that loader reach specifications at maximum dump height cannot be modified, as those requirements apply to the loader component rather than the backhoe boom.

The document establishes that all changes contained in the addendum supersede previously submitted documentation and must be included with bid submissions. Purchasing Agent Lincoln Adams serves as the primary contact for this procurement, with vendors directed to the New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services website for access to complete bid solicitation documents and all addendums. Respondents are required to provide their business name, address, representative contact information, and signature acknowledgment of receipt and understanding of the addendum specifications.

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.
