Bulldozer Repairs 2021

Scope of Work The Mat Sinking Unit of the Corps of Engineers requires the rebuilding of the power train on its two bulldozers – D6R DT-211 (Serial # 08Z99687) and D7H DT-209 (Serial # 08Z90398). The dozers are made by Caterpillar and require Caterpillar certified mechanics from an authorized Caterpillar service dealer to perform the rebuilds in order to receive a factory warranty equal to that of a new Caterpillar bulldozer. The components listed under the Caterpillar Certified Powertrain Rebuild Program shall be completely disassembled for the two dozers being rebuilt. All seals, gaskets, hoses, belts, knobs, wiring, switches, and gauges shall be replaced with new Caterpillar parts. All other parts are required to be inspected and measured against the Caterpillar reusability guidelines. The parts that do not meet Caterpillar reusability guidelines shall be replaced with Cat Reman parts or shall be reconditioned to meet Caterpillar specifications if applicable. The Mat Sinking Unit requires the Caterpillar Certified Powertrain Rebuild Plus Program (CPT+), which is a customizable version of the Base CPT Rebuild Program with additional replacements and repairs as needed. All parts/components that are required to be inspected and replaced/reconditioned to be brought to Caterpillar standards are listed below.

The Mat Sinking Unit also requires repairs to its D5H bulldozer. The dozer requires repairs to its final drive, hydraulic cylinders, and winch along with other components as detailed below. This dozer also requires Caterpillar certified mechanics from an authorized Caterpillar service dealer performing the repairs. A factory warranty is not required within the repair of the D5H dozer. Repairs needed for the D5H are listed in detail below after the D6R and D7H rebuild requirements.

· Dealer shall be a Caterpillar dealer specifically for the Mat Sinking Unit’s geographical region, which would be the central Mississippi region or that region that covers the Vicksburg, MS area. This would allow for less time consuming site visit(s) for Mat Sinking Unit representatives when inspecting contractor work at the contractor facility. This would also allow for less travel time and less cost to the Mat Sinking Unit when the dozers are retrieved and delivered at the Mat Sinking location on the Mississippi River.

Transportation The contractor is responsible for transportation to and from the facility where work will take place. The dozers will be retrieved and delivered at the Mat Sinking Unit’s location on the Mississippi River (between Cairo, IL, and Venice, LA) unless otherwise specified by the COR. Contact Nathan Jabour, 601-415-0944, or Maurice Gilmore, 601-747-9140, upon arrival for retrieval and delivery.

Dozer Rentals The Mat Sinking Unit will soon be deployed and will begin work on the Mississippi River. The Mat Sinking Unit may require rental dozers from the time each dozer is hauled off until each of the two dozer rebuilds are complete (within 65 calendar days from contractor retrieval of dozer for rebuild. If required by the Mat Sinking Unit, the contractor shall supply a D6 rental dozer for use by the Mat Sinking Unit for both the D6R and D7H dozer being rebuilt as needed until the completion of that dozer rebuild unless another suitable machine is otherwise approved by the COR. The Mat Sinking Unit will incur the costs of the rental (including delivery and pickup) until the government-owned dozer rebuild is completed, up to the 65th day of the rebuild (retrieval to delivery). After day 65 of the rebuild period, the dozers shall be delivered back to the Mat Sinking Unit; and the government is not responsible for paying any more rental fees.

While the D5H dozer is being repaired, the Mat Sinking Unit will require the rental of a D2 dozer as needed to replace the production of the D5H. The Mat Sinking Unit will incur the costs of the rental (including delivery and pickup) until the government-owned dozer rebuild is completed, up to the 45th day of the repair (retrieval to delivery). Within 45 days of the repair period, the dozer shall be delivered back to the Mat Sinking Unit; and the government is not responsible for paying any more rental fees.

Period of Performance and Deliverables The contractor shall retrieve the dozers from government property within 3 days after receiving the notice to proceed from the Corps of Engineers contracting office or as agreed to with the COR. All work shall be completed within 130 calendar days of the contract award. Completed work assumes all requirement in the scope of work are completed including delivery back to the Mat Sinking Unit.

Upon delivery of machine back to the Mat Sinking Unit, the contract shall provide the Mat Sinking Unit with the list of all components/parts replaced so that parts under warranty will have records to be utilized by the Mat Sinking Unit should the warranty need to be used. All testing documentation that certifies that the rebuilt machine meets Caterpillar standards shall also be provided to the Mat Sinking Unit. All required documentation shall be emailed to the COR:

Nathanael.j.jabour@usace.army.mil
