Portable Livestock Scale Specifications.doc

This is a specifications document for a portable livestock scale procurement issued by the Maine Department of Agriculture. The request specifies three items: a W-W Paul Scales Model 310 portable scale with 3,000 lb. capacity and 99" length x 60" width x 8" height dimensions equipped with new Highway 15" tires; a Model Beef Master Chute with self-catch HG featuring drop-down removable sides measuring 92" length x 41" width x 78" height; and a Model IQ+390DC digital readout with stainless steel enclosure.

Bidders must provide freight pricing separately to the Department of Agriculture's Cony Road Shop facility in Augusta, Maine. The specifications request documentation of lead time, warranty information, and any additional product differences or notes. Equivalent equipment from other manufacturers may be substituted if accompanied by detailed product and brand information. No specific response deadline, bid opening date, or contract award timeline is provided in this specifications document.
