This is a specification document for a hand-feed, lightweight, pavement testing core drill mounted on a 28-inch hitch trailer, issued by Pennsylvania for procurement purposes. The specification details equipment requirements for a Kor-IT Model K-160 or equivalent unit designed for soil and core sampling operations. The document establishes minimum component specifications while allowing manufacturers' engineering departments discretion to upgrade components or gross axle weight rating (GAWR) when deemed necessary to ensure proper weight distribution and safe operation. The specification emphasizes that manufacturers bear responsibility for delivering a fully engineered unit that meets or exceeds the outlined requirements.

The specification prioritizes manufacturer compliance with established engineering standards and quality assurance protocols. The document serves as a baseline for equipment procurement, permitting qualified manufacturers to propose solutions that enhance performance and safety beyond minimum specifications. No explicit pricing, award dates, term lengths, renewal options, site visits, or bidder conferences are detailed within this specification document. The procurement appears designed to ensure that bidders provide equipment meeting rigorous operational and safety standards suitable for Pennsylvania's pavement testing and soil sampling applications.
