SECTION II – EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS

It is the intent of these specifications, and requirements listed herein, to obtain proposals on vehicles to meet the needs of Butts County EMS, and to obtain bids that may be easily, and completely evaluated on an equal and competitive basis.

Because of the wide variances in types, configurations, options, and model available in the industry the purpose of the specifications is to set a standard by which all proposals received may be evaluated, studied, and compared equitably. In order for your bid to be accepted and considered responsive, vendors shall be required to submit exact CAD drawings of their unit offered. No stock drawings will be accepted. All options and features shall be included in these CAD drawings. NO EXCEPTIONS! Any requested data literature, drawings, etc. and detailed written lists of exceptions taken must also be enclosed.

Since bids from a number of suppliers are anticipated, Butts County EMS, cannot be expected to be familiar with all various technical details of all vendor’s products, the only adequate method of evaluation will be to compare in this format. Vendors are cautioned that failure to submit proposals in format specified herein, will be grounds to reject vendors proposal and remove bid from consideration.

BUY AMERICAN

It is the intent of these specifications and requirements listed herein to obtain proposals on vehicles to meet the local needs of the Purchaser that may be easily and completely evaluated on an equal basis. In accordance with “Buy America” programs, proposals will be accepted only from manufacturers that are only 100% wholly owned, financed, and operated by USA based firms.

LEGAL RIGHT TO SPECIFY

The Purchaser chooses to exercise its Legal Right to Specify as determined by the U.S. Supreme Court’s affirmation of the decision handed down in the case of Whitten Corp. Vs Paddock by the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts, the First Federal District Court:

1) That as trained professionals, the Purchaser makes informed judgments on products that they feel best serve their needs. Technically, very few brands of material or equipment are exactly alike, and if the specifier wants to limit the specification to one source, he has the right to do so and enforce it.

2) Only the specifier has the responsibility and judgment for determining whether a proposed substitution is an “or equal”.

3) That from start to finish in the purchasing process only the specifier can ultimately decide if another desirable product is available in lieu of the specification.

4) Finally, that the courts concluded “the burden is on the supplier or manufacturer, who has NOT been specified, to convince the specifier that their product is equal for the purpose of a particular project”.

The specifier has determined that this product specification shall represent the product to which all offerings shall be compared. Due to the fact that emergency response duties are ULTRAHAZARDOUS, and UNAVOIDABLY DANGEROUS activities, only trained personnel with specific knowledge in the area of Emergency Service Equipment shall be allowed to make the final decision on the selection of the appropriate product to best serve Butts County EMS.
