3. Description of Supplies and Services. Describe the supplies/services to be acquired.

Provide the estimated total value (including options, if any).

ATF requires the purchase of three (3) T770 T4 Bobcat Compact Track Loader equipment and attachments to ensure the range maintenance at the National Center for Explosives Training and Research (NCETR) explosive ranges are completed without interruption. NCETR is utilized to train local, state, federal Certified Explosives Specialist (CES) bomb technicians, and military Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) safe practices for the handling and disposal of explosive materials.

The estimated cost of one (1) T770 T4 Bobcat Compact Track Loader is $77,379.10, one (1) P67 Performance Package is $4,391.28, one (1) C37 Comfort Package is $4,633.20, one (1) Selectable Joystick Controls is $680.40, one (1) 80” Combination Bucket is $3,792.40 and one

(1) Material and Logistics Surcharge is $5,014.10. Additional cost Dealer P.D.I is $350.00 and Freight Charges is $1.745.00. The estimated a total cost of three (3) Bobcat Compact Track Loaders, attachments and additional cost is $232,137.30 without Trade-in.

The following are estimated trade-in values for NCETR’s current Bobcat Compact Track Loaders:

Year Model SSN Hours Trade-In Value

2008 T300 532040282 1302.0 $36,000

$113,000

Therefore, the cost for three (3) new T770 T4 Bobcat Compact Track Loaders will be $119,137.30 ($232,137.30 – $113,000 = $119,137.30).

The Required Delivery Date (RDD) will be no later than 60 days preferred.

4. Identify statutory authority permitting limiting sources FAR 13.106(b)(1)(ii).

The Brand Name Bobcat is essential to the Government’s requirement base on the current inventory of Bobcat attachments owned by ATF the multiple buckets, multiple forks (lifts), multiple sweepers, and an auger. Going with another brand would add unnecessary cost for the purchase of new equipment/attachments.

5. A statement demonstrating the unique qualifications of the proposed contractor or the nature of the action requiring use of the authority.

NCETR currently has three (3) older Bobcat Compact Track Loaders. There are numerous implements/attachments that go with the current Bobcat Compact Track Loaders.
