B50960 Bid Amendment Doc.docx

This is a Bid Amendment document for the Illinois state and local contract opportunity for Jubilee College SHS Tractor and Accessories (Bid B-50960). The amendment specifies the procurement of a primary tractor unit along with compatible attachments designed for grounds maintenance and facilities management purposes. The primary equipment requested includes a Kubota L4802HST tractor with a Kubota LA766 front loader and 3rd function hydraulic installed on the loader, or equivalent models as determined by the buyer. Supporting attachments include a Land Pride STB1584 snow trip blade attachment (or equivalent) and a Land Pride GR1525 stump grinder attachment (or equivalent), with all items required to be compatible with the primary tractor unit. The amendment references attached specification documents for the Kubota L02 Series and Land Pride equipment to establish baseline performance and operational requirements.

The amendment addresses specific vendor questions regarding equipment configurations and preferences. For the tractor, the buyer prefers R14 Hybrid Tread tires, though vendors may offer alternatives including R1 Ag Tread, R3 Turf Tread, or R4 Industrial Tread options. For the snow trip blade attachment, the buyer prefers steel cutting edges with dual hydraulic cylinder angle options rather than manual angle options. For the stump grinder attachment, the buyer prefers two sets of rear hydraulic remote valves with corresponding optional kits from Land Pride to be installed on the tractor's rear to accommodate the stump grinder's hydraulic requirements. The document indicates that the buyer retains discretion to determine equipment equivalency based on the provided specifications.
