QUESTION:

Requirement 6.8.16.1 in Section III states: One (1) Federal Signal INTG44S equivalent or better beacon warning light mounted above the cab to provide 360 degree Visibility.

When Cross referencing the Model Number it shows as a 44 inch bar, not beacon light. Is this a typo in the specs?

STATE’S RESPONSE: It is a 44 inch light bar. The guidelines we received from our Safety team refer to it as a beacon.

QUESTION:

Referring to item 20 and item 21 of the specification in Section III:

A spare tire mounted is specified, as is a spare tire loose. We can do both, but most people go with the mounted tire. Which is preferred?

STATE’S RESPONSE: The mounted tire is the preferred option and is what should be bid.

QUESTION:

Referring to item 17 and item 18 of the specifications in Section III:

Item 17 specifies a Loading Hoist 12 Volt and item 18 calls for a Loading Hoist Manual. Most people go with the 12 volt option. If the battery dies, there is a manual crank. Does this fulfill the requirement for the Loading hoist manual?

STATE’S RESPONSE: What we are requiring is a manual winch as a back-up in case the 12 volt battery were to fail. The manual crack your equipment has as a back-up is considered acceptable.
