Grapple Truck with 27 Yard Dump Bed Bidding Specifications

1.0 INTENT

It is the intent of this specification to provide for the purchase of one (1) new and unused Grapple Truck with 27 Yard Dump Bed to be used by the Solid Waste Department.

The City of Cartersville Solid Waste Department (SWD) has evaluated different styles of Grapple Trucks and has determined that this published specification is best suited for the SWD needs in terms of quality and features. This specification shall not be interpreted as restrictive but rather as a measure of quality and performance against which all other Grapple Trucks will be compared.

In comparing proposals, comparison will not be confined to price only. The successful bidder will be one whose product is judged as best serving the interests of the SWD when price, product, quality and delivery are considered. The SWD also reserves the right to reject any or all bids or any part thereof, and to waive any minor technicalities. A contract will be awarded to the bidder submitting the lowest responsible bid meeting the requirements.

2.0 EQUIVALENT PRODUCT

Bids will be accepted for consideration on any make or model that is equal or superior to the Grapple Truck specified. Decisions of equivalency will be at the sole interpretation of the SWD. A blanket statement that equipment proposed will meet all requirements will not be sufficient to establish equivalence. An original manufacturer’s brochure of the proposed product and detailed specifications of the truck and body is to be submitted with proposal.

3.0 INTERPRETATIONS

In order to be fair to all bidders, no oral interpretations will be given to any bidder, as tothe meaning of the specification documents or any part thereof. Every request for such a consideration shall be made in writing. Based on such inquiry, the SWD may choose to issue an addendum in accordance with local and state laws.

4.0 GENERAL

The specification herein states the minimum requirements of the SWD. All bids must be regular in every respect. Unauthorized conditions, limitations, or provisions shall be cause for rejection. The SWD will consider as irregular or non-responsive any and all bids that are not prepared and submitted in accordance with the bid document and specification, or any bid lacking sufficient technical literature to enable the SWD to make a reasonable determination of compliance to the specification. It shall be the bidder’s responsibility to carefully examine each item of the specification. Failure to offer a completed bid or failure to respond to each section of the technical specification (COMPLY:

YES NO) will cause the proposal to be rejected without review as non responsive. All variances, exceptions and/or deviations shall be fully described in the appropriate section.

Deceit in responding to the specification will be cause for rejection.
