Salient Characteristics

1. The Government is Requesting Caterpillar or equal equipment. See the below minimum specifications for each piece of equipment.

2. The Government is requesting that the Rental equipment will be within two years old or newer with less than 1500 hours of operating time. As rental equipment gets past the two year mark there is a significant loss in horse power, track wear, Shims, pins, tires and overall degradation of the machine resulting in a less productive and operator friendly piece of equipment costing more money in rental fees and more man hours potentially going over budget and time frame allotted to complete the project.

3. The Government requests that all of the below listed equipment have the (DEF) Diesel

Emissions Fluid system (where applicable) this is a more environment friendly, low emissions system that allows the equipment to run more efficiently at a lower fuel cost to the Government.

These are the minimal requirements that we are willing to accept in order to successfully complete these projected projects within the time and budget that has been allotted. Equipment horse power, size, tonnage, blade width/length, Attachments, Cab and A/C, Equipment weight, hauling, loading and pushing capacity.
