This is a brand name requirement to acquire a RING-O-MATIC hydro-excavator vacuum trailer. The vacuum trailer is a diesel fueled machine ideal for high pressure water vacuuming, potholing, and construction site cleanup.

Per Civil Engineering (CE), the RING-O-MATIC is a hydro-excavator already in CE inventory of equipment. Therefore, CE has a shop stock of supplies and parts for this specific unit to ensure a uniform inventory of parts rather than storing parts and supplies for multiple units. CE personnel have been trained on using and maintaining these specific hydro-excavators. Furthermore, CE has acquired the RING-O-MATIC due to its unique features, such as the Viper Potholing tool which allows technicians to operate the unit with minimal manning. Additionally, the extendable boon simplifies access to sites in which heavy equipment would be incapable of operation, the 500 gallon water tank and 800 gallon waste tank allows for less stops in work time, the EPA Tier 4i compliant engine mitigates the noise factor for residential areas, and 4000 PSI pressure is required to meet minimum requirements.
