About this file
This document is an addendum to a solicitation (IFB) for a cone penetrating rig (CPT) for the Illinois Department of Transportation (DOT). The addendum provides responses to vendor questions regarding the specifications, including the weight of the complete CPT rig package, the tilt bed trailer dimensions, and the trailer load capacity. The DOT clarifies that the trailer must be capable of carrying 14,000 lbs, but does not need to be "rated" at 14,000 lbs. The DOT is seeking to balance the weight of the equipment, trailer, and any field equipment to align with the tow vehicle capabilities available.
The related state and local contract opportunity is for the re-bid of a D6 cone penetration test unit. No other details are provided about the procurement, such as response dates, award dates, funding sources, or contract term.

DOT Cone Penetrating Rig B-19557 Addendum # 1 Response to Vendor Questions
· Addendum # 1 is to answer all vendor questions submitted.
· The vendor questions listed below specifically pertain to the solicitation document.
Vendor Question 1 IFB Doc: (Attachments defined) Is this defined as the complete package with CPT cone tooling system or just the track crawler, 20 CPT mast & detachable rod rack?
Total package will weigh over 8,000lbs (CPT rods 150’ weigh 750lbs alone) Track chassis, 20CPT press & drop rack will weigh less than 8,000lbs (estimating 7,300lbs) Answer Question 1 IFB Doc: 8,750 would have to be noted as an exception. We are trying to balance weight of equipment, trailer and any field equipment that may be loaded on trailer vs. tow vehicle capabilities available.
Vendor Question 2 IFB Doc: Tilt Bed trailer -The bid states a 12’ tilt portion w/4’ stationary deck. *** Is the 12’ spec a mistype? After speaking with our local long time trailer dealer he is stating that 12’ is a length that can create a steep load angle so most and if any manufactures do not offer this short length in a dual axel 14,000 gvwr trailer, only a single rear wheel which would be underweight requirements. Would a longer tilt (16’) by 4’ stationary be accepted?
Answer Question 2 IFB Doc: The 12’ would be the minimum allowed. There are many trailer manufacturers and different designs of drop decks we have to set the basics. Most tilts have 2’ knife edge in addition to deck. A 14’ tilt deck with 2’ knife edge (16’) is common and would exceed specifications.
Vendor Question 3 IFB Doc: Tilt Bed trailer- According to the sheet, it is written that a trailer can carry 14,000# and also be rated at 14,000#. This would be impossible, a trailer rated at 14,000# can only carry around 10,700# because it will weigh around 3,300# empty. If you want a trailer that can carry 14,000# it will be a completely different unit. Can you please clarify if you want a unit that is rated at 14,000# or a unit that can carry 14,000#?
Answer Question 3 IFB Doc: The specifications do not indicate the trailer being required to be “rated” at 14000 #. Please bid a trailer that can meet 14k “load” capacity as stated. Trailer should be capable of hauling 14k # at highway speeds. All other components of trailer are listed as minimums, a vendor may offer products based on a vendor’s description of their trailer if it meets load capacity.
