1 1700000 4.5

Is it required to start the lease service for 1.2ton and 1.5ton forklifts on 16 Mar 2021? Also, is the lease service ordered continuously 8years including option years?

指定されている 1.2 トンと 1.5 トンのフォークリフトのリースサービス

は 2021 年 3 月 16 日に開始され、オプション期間を含めると 8 年間連

続で使用され続けるのでしょうか。

The awarded contractor must be prepared to accept and perform services / provide equipment for all ELINs beginning on the first day of the ordering period for the

IDIQ.

The period of performance would be specified in any task order issued for any ELIN(s) including forklifts.

The Government has historically required these forklifts to meet operational requirements for at least 10 years. However, operational requirements are subject to change including increasing or decreasing required quantities.

2 1700000 4.5.3

We cannot ensure to complete repairs of disabled forklifts within four hours of initial call because mechanic is not always available at the time and some parts may need to be ordered for the repair.

Also, any substitute or replacement is unavailable. Because explosion proof type is very rare and forklift lease company doesn’t have spare.

Could you please reconsider about the requirements for forklift?

Repair work can be completed within 5 working days instead of 4 hours.

It is preferable that the explosion-proof type of forklift is provided as substitute. However, if the same type is not available, it is acceptable that a forklift of similar type is provided as practical.

Attachment J-0200000-10

What is the factor to be determine the number of riggers when contractors crane is ordered? Which ELIN of rigging support team is expected to be ordered depending on the situation?

業者のクレーンが注文される際、リガーの数は何によって決定される

のでしょうか。どのシチュエーションでリガーサポートのどの ELIN

が注文される予定ですか？

A crane team is consisted of, at minimum, one crane operator and 5 to 6 riggers.

5 to 6 riggers are ordered when a contractor crane with operator is ordered.

- 6 riggers are required (1 signal man + 2 slingers on both ends) where “lift from” and “place to” locations are relatively distanced such as between a pier and deck of a ship.

- Where lifts are conducted within small enough envelope, then required riggers may be down to 5.

Small number of riggers are ordered as supplemental workforce to PWD crane team.

Above policy will apply when we order contractor crane of any size.

4 1700000 2.3.1

Could you please reconsider the minimum order amount for each ELIN of rigging support from four hours to eight hours on the basis of regular working hours, 0800 – 1645? Because it’s highly difficult to maintain riggers without guarantee of their wages.

賃金の保障が無いと人員の確保が難しいため玉掛サポートの時間は

0800-1645 の 8 時間を保障していただけませんか。

Yes, we will change the minimum order amount for rigging support to “8 hours per day” from 4 hours per day.

Annex 1700000 Spec Item 2.3.1 has been revised.

See updated PWS, Attachment (1).

Section F- 170000 /4.5.2 /4.5.3 (cannot meet your requests)

The forklifts service company says that it takes about 4.5 months to install an explosion type (1.5ton) and about 5 months to install 1.2 ton (Rack stocker) because they are a kind of built to order manufacture.

Besides mentioned above, they cannot provide any substitutes when the forklifts are out from the Base for repair or other reasons, because the company don’t have same type of inventory at hand.

The POC of the company said that they are not sure how they deal with the forklifts after their contracts end, which have been rented to the government right now for their own contracts. This means that it is a

Requirement of forklift lease will be removed from this considerable possibility that they cannot provide old types of forklifts either, when the new ones are out of service.
