Attachment 1 Specifications
Specifications Document: 36CD, 74AB, 44CD, 53B IRRIGATION PIVOT SYSTEMS SPECIFICATION
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
Scientists at the Roman L. Hurska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (USMARC) are developing scientific information and new technologies to solve high priority problems for the U.S. beef, swine, and sheep industries. USMARC can produce a large amount of the feed required to feed such a large animal population. Nearly all the fields used to produce forage and other feeds are under pivots to keep the crops properly watered and at peek production. Due to extreme weather conditions resulting in damage to four pivots we are needing full replacement of each of the four.
CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS:
