For Items #8 and #11, the specification for a Knapheide 696 8-foot body has been corrected to a Knapheide 6108D54 9-foot body, based on the wheelbase and bed configuration requirements for the F-350 Supercab DRW chassis specified in the original bid documents.

RE: Ford Fleet Vehicles - FBR2096-27
A D D E N D U M N O. 1
The purpose of this addendum is to address the submitted exceptions.
1) Exception: Item #6 3.73 E-locking rear axle is not available. The closest thing Ford offers is a 3.55 E-locking rear axle, but requires 535 HD Trailer towing pkg and 68U Upgraded payload pkg. This also picks up a recommended Trailer Brake controller.
Answer: Please proceed with the 3.55 E-Locking rear axle & addition of options 535 and 68U..
2) Exception: Item #8 Asks for a Knapheide 696 8ft body. This should be Knapheide 6108D54 9ft body. Due to the description in the main part of the bid request a F-350 Supercab DRW would have to be a 60CA meaning it's a 9ft bed.
Answer: This is correct, please proceed with Knapheide 6108D54
3) Exception: Item #11 Asks for a Knapheide 696 as well. It should be a Knapheide 6108D54. This is due to the description asking for an 8ft body however a 179" wheelbase is for a 9ft body, which is the Knapheide 6108D54 .
Answer:This is correct, please proceed with Knapheide 6108D54
