(v) Description of item(s) to be acquired:

The purpose is to tow this vacuum to the 109 warehouse structures we maintain in a 3K acer area. These structures do not have power so a self-container, mobile, diesel power unit is essential. The unit must be parked 100' from the structure and the hose must be able to reach inside the structure another 100'. The hose can be reduced from 4'' to 3'' but the use will require a floor tool to accommodate floor cleaning. The material will be standard dirt/dust that accumulates in strorage structures. Due to Hanta Virus concerns in Utah the filtration must be HEPA certified with dustless bagging. The preferred method for bagging would be common, small size bagsthat are not special order.
