ITEM 0001 - 0002, 6 PASSENGER CARGO PICKUP TRUCK

OTHER MISCELLLANEOUS REQUIREMENTS

(4) Technical Publication (In Japanese. CD or CD ROM is acceptable):

If you cannot accept the above Question 12, please reconfirm and accept "One (1) set of operator manual for each vehicle and one (1) set of technical (shop repair) manual to be furnished for consignee by Contractor at time of vehicle(s) delivery." only.

As far as our research, only one model of one manufacturer completely meets required specification which is a truck with double cabin, AT and gasoline engine. However, due to the companies policy's change since this June, the manufacturer cease to provide parts catalog by CD/Book to any end-customers and now only manufacturer's workshops can access database for parts.

Therefore, if either request of Question 12 or 13 are not accepted, no companies could offer the item without deviation.

Technical publications are required for immediate completion of vehicle maintenance at government facilities. Regarding fuel types of Item 0001 and 0002, the specifaction (our requirement) are not limited to gasoline engines only.

ITEM 0010, TRUCK STAKE

MINIMUM # OF VEHICLE REQUIRED & CHARACTERISTICS

(2) Minimum Dimensions (Metric/Inches).

Cargo Bed Inside Length

Please accept Cargo Bed Inside Length is 7,100mm.

According to manufacturer's available option and chassis list, cargo bed length size limit is 7,200mm. If we can comply with your required cargo bed inside length 8,400mm, we must offer bigger size chassis with expensive price.

If you can admit cargo bed inside length is 7,100mm, we can offer with lowest price. The reason why we suggested 7,100mm is to avoid inconsistency between prospect design specification and actual specification.

Item 0010 is revised via Amendment 0003.
