ADDENDUM
Addendum Number: 01 Dated: November 5, 2024
Solicitation Number: 802-25-55509
Solicitation Title: Compact (Mini) Track Loader
Due Date/Deadline: November 14, 2024; 2:00pm CT Purchaser: Christina M. Brown
PURPOSE OF ADDENDUM: CLARIFICATIONS
Except as provided herein, all terms and conditions of the document referenced herein remain unchanged and in full force and effect. The following are specifications to this solicitation. This Addendum may be attached to and form a part of the referenced solicitation document and any resulting awarded contract and may be considered in your response.
Clarification
QUESTION 1: Specification Item 3.1.11 Gross Horsepower: Is the parameter between 96HP and 110HP a hard requirement? We want to better assess the needs for this equipment. If the unit will be spending a lot of time mulching, we would like to quote a higher HP unit, but if mulching is only once in a while, we would recommend a lower HP unit, that can meet all the requirements of the attachments requested, and save additional money and not require a DEF.
ANSWER: TPWD requires Gross Horsepower as defined in Specification Item 3.1.11 due to the intended use for this equipment for State Parks Wildland Fire Program. The unit will be used to reduce dead and live fuel loads around park infrastructure, control invasive brush, and mechanically thin trees and brush species for habitat restoration. The unit will be used extensively for mulching and clearing brush year round. If a Vendor is taking exception to a specification, they must clearly identify the exception and state how it will meet the agency’s needs and/or is better than specification listed. TPWD will consider exceptions and make an award determination based on project requirements and best value.
