Gov Response:

For the 540 or 1000 rpm question, it is an established range to provide for maximum competition and options. As long as the RPM is at least 540 but no greater than 1000, it will be found technically acceptable for both mowers.

We are unable to clarify any further for that technical requirement.

For the driveline, it must be a category 5 or greater driveline for both mowers. We are unable to clarify any further.

For the wheels, the style is laminated, foam filled, or better. There is not a specified number of wheels, as different mowers have different number of wheels, and our customer did not want to prevent a quote from being made due to not having the proper number of wheels.

The SOW clearly states, for both mowers, safety deflectors need to be either single or double, and made of chain or stronger material, with plastic or rubber not acceptable.
