I. GENERAL

1. It is the intent of the County of Sacramento to purchase a piece of equipment that will provide optimum benefit to the County. This does not necessarily mean that the County will buy the lowest priced product. Consideration will be given to the engine emissions, product warranty, service and parts support available in the Sacramento area, the number of satisfied users in this area, delivery dates and bidders past performance.

2. After mission consideration, the single most important factor in the bid evaluation will be emissions reduction factor of the engine. The County of Sacramento is committed to purchasing engines for vehicle(s)/equipment that meet or exceed actual tailpipe emissions standards for current year, specified by the EPA for the engine manufacturer.

3. ON ROAD ENGINE EMISSIONS: Engines compliant with Federal 2010 emission requirements and certified at or lower than .2 g/bhp-hr for oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and .01 g/bhp-hr for particulate matter (PM) are required. Bids submitted must include 2010 Federal compliant engines.

4. CARB CERTIFICATION: CARB certification is required for all engines included in bid submissions.

California ARB engine executive order(s) will be included with engines offered within the bid response.

A bid response that does not include this document for standard and optional engines will be rejected.

5. REDUCED EMISSIONS OPTION: Sacramento County is committed to using low emission, clean air engines. Should a reduced emission engine or any reduced emission category level be available for the vehicle(s)/equipment specified, it will be included. This must be shown as an added cost option. Show the up-charge from an equivalent diesel fueled vehicle. CARB reduced emissions certificate will be included with bid response.

6. HYBRID AND ALTERNATIVE FUEL OPTION PREFERENCE: Bidders are encouraged to submit options for hybrid systems and/or alternative fuel systems if available. The hybrid or alternative fuel options offered shall not be aftermarket or experimental systems, but will be fully engineered and tested and will be fully eligible for warranty and service work by the chassis manufacturer. Bids that do not include options for hybrid systems or alternative fuel systems will not be rejected, rather the County may select a bid that includes a hybrid or alternative fuel option if it determines that it is in the best interest of the County to help meet Fleet Rule emission requirements, reduce fuel consumption or reduce emissions. Bidders are encouraged to use available grant or incentive monies to help reduce the final price of the vehicle / equipment offered. Any grant or incentive monies that a vendor includes that reduce the final price of the bid will list the amount and grant or incentive name. Vendor will be responsible for all administrative work to complete the application process of the grant or incentive.

7. USERS LIST: Bidder will provide, with the bid, a user’s list showing the names and addresses of businesses and other entities in the Sacramento area using the bid product. This may be used as a reference list by the County and consideration will be given to the number of users in this area.

9. Electronic Back-up / motion alarm shall be an ECCO part #RMA 907E. Contact ECCO at (800) 635-5900 if assistance is needed. The alarm shall activate when the transmission is shifted into reverse, or when rotation of the driveline is detected. The alarm shall be circuit breaker protected to be energized full time, with ignition on or off. This system utilizes two magnets installed on the driveline and a sensor which detects driveline rotation. ECCO has two methods to install the magnets on the driveline. Installation instructions are included in the kit.

INSTALLATION NOTE: The preferred installation method is to bond the magnets to the driveline tube with epoxy. Use the two (2) magnets of equal size and weight (supplied with the kit) attached to opposite sides (180 degrees apart) of driveline tube with epoxy adhesive (on unpainted metal) then wrapped with the supplied special adhesive tape. This method does not require any disassembly of the factory installed driveline components. The alternate installation uses two (2) magnets attached to u-joint cap bolt lock tabs and MUST ONLY BE USED WITH THE PROPER U-JOINT CAPS. If the bolt on magnets are used, the u-joint cap bolts must be properly torqued to factory specifications and the lock tabs properly locked. DO NOT DRILL OR MODIFY THE
