This document is the Exhibit S Specifications for an Accessory Snow Blower Attachment issued by the State of Illinois Department of Central Management Services. The specifications cover the minimum requirements for a front-end loader mounted snow blower, including that the equipment must be new, of current design and manufacture, and a production model. The snow blower must produce a minimum of 1,800 tons per hour, have a minimum 65-foot casting distance, and meet specific dimensional requirements. The blower must be a self-contained design to efficiently load trucks, have the ability to scrape, break, and discharge hard pack snow and ice, and feature a hydraulically controlled two-stage telescoping discharge chute. The blower must also be designed to allow easy removal of foreign objects without requiring removal of structural panels or components. The unit must be powered by a current production liquid-cooled diesel engine and include a wireless handheld controller with various operational functions.
The document states that the snow blower may be attached to pre-existing loaders, and the vendor will need to verify the type of coupler manufacturer with the ordering entity. No additional details are provided regarding a specific contract opportunity, pricing, set asides, incumbents, funding sources, or award information.

| Cutting height minimum of forty-eight inches (48”). | |
| Overall maximum width of ninety-eight inches (98”). |
The side cutting bars shall extend a minimum twelve inches (12”) over the cutting height.
The blower shall be a self-contained design to load trucks efficiently with a spout height to allow loading into a truck or trailer with side heights of up to eleven feet (11’) without excessive cast off and the blower resting on the ground. The blower shall have the ability to scrape, break and discharge hard pack snow and ice that builds up. Cross feed augers will not be accepted. No rotating component shall protrude ahead of the stationary chute or side of the blower.
The spout shall be designed for all casting and loading operations to be controlled hydraulically by the operator from the cab. The spout shall have a two-stage telescoping discharge chute.
The spout shall have a minimum of two hundred and seventy degrees (270°) rotation.
The fans shall be shear pin protected and pins easily replaced by the operator in the field. An additional twenty (20) shear pins shall be supplied with the blower.
The blower unit shall be equipped with aside draft compensator to prevent the snow from sucking the blower and loader into the ditch.
The blower shall feature bolt on wear plates and replaceable cutting edges. One additional set of each shall be supplied with the blower.
The blower shall be designed to allow easy removal of foreign objects that jams or obstructs the flow of material. Having to remove structural panels, shafts, or other blower components to remove most obstructions is not acceptable.
The ability of the blower to ingest foreign objects and not sustain damage is critical due to the emergency nature in which it will be used. Examples of the type of debris found along the roadway include, mufflers, 4”X4” wood blocks, chains, and large tire debris. The State reserves the right to review design and functionality of the blower and its ability to ingest foreign material and not cause damage to the blower.

· Horsepower shall provide maximum capacity at 100% duty cycle
· Dry style air cleaner
· Fuel filter water separator
· 12-volt electrical system
· Alternator/regulator
· Maintenance free battery
· Hour meter
· Cold weather starting aid
· Engine cover(s)
· Safety shut down for low oil pressure or high engine temperature.
The fuel tank shall provide an approximate 8 hours of run time at maximum capacity. Clearly labeled “Diesel Fuel Only”.
System shall be filled with manufacturer’s approved extended life antifreeze and equipped with engine coolant heater if available.
A remote in cab gauge system shall be provided allowing the operator to monitor all critical engine and blower functions.
All controls and blower components shall be movable from loader to loader without the use of special tools.
The snow blower shall include a wireless handheld controller. This controller shall include the following functions:
· Clutch
