About this file

This is a technical specification document issued by the State of Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development for the procurement of a 20-24 metric ton steel tracked excavator under the DOTD Buy Back program. The specification establishes minimum requirements for a diesel-powered, 1.0 cubic yard capacity tracked excavator that must be new, a current production model, and compliant with all applicable state and federal safety and emission standards. Representative equipment models referenced for equivalency evaluation include the Caterpillar 320, John Deere 210, Case CX210, and Volvo EC220. The specification details engine requirements (153 HP net diesel), hydraulic system specifications (110 GPM total), swing system capabilities (full hydraulic, 360 degrees, 11 RPM with positive lock swing brake), track specifications (steel triple semi-grouser shoes with fully independent brakes), and cab features (fully enclosed with ROPS/FOPS certification, air conditioning, heating, adjustable suspension seat, and safety glass). Equipment must be equipped with two 1.0 cubic yard buckets (42-48" width general purpose and 60" width clean out type), a folding mechanical thumb, work lights, and fire extinguisher. Delivery must include complete assembly and test run documentation, with all fluid levels and fuel tanks at specified marks.

Bidders must be from manufacturers with at least one authorized Louisiana dealer capable of providing parts, service, and warranty support. All bid submittals must include a completed specification document with compliance confirmations for each section and a detailed "Bidder's Exceptions" page noting any deviations from specifications. Equipment delivery must be "on the ground" with the vendor responsible for unloading; the Department will provide unloading space. Each unit must be accompanied by dealer service policy, owner's and service manuals in both hardcopy and digital formats (PDF via USB or email), and build sheets written in plain language detailing all standard and optional features. Payment processing is contingent upon inspection and compliance verification by the Equipment Engineer. The specification notes that delivery timeframe may be used as an award factor. Equipment is subject to rejection if evidence of poor workmanship is detected, and any defects must be corrected by the vendor prior to final acceptance. The warranty requirement specifies one year of full coverage at the nearest authorized location.
