About this file

This is a technical specification document from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) for procuring a trailer-mounted aerial lift. The document details the procurement of a 35 ft. articulating aerial platform boom lift, specifically referencing the JLG ET350 model or equivalent, to be delivered to the DOTD Equipment Acquisition location in Baton Rouge. The specifications outline precise requirements including a 34 ft. 5 in. platform height, 18 ft. 9.5 in. horizontal reach, 410-degree non-continuous rotation, and a 440-pound platform capacity. Bidders are required to provide comprehensive documentation including a notarized bill of sale, original certificate of origin, service manuals, and owner's manuals, with the bid expected to be evaluated based on lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting the detailed technical specifications.

The procurement emphasizes specific technical requirements such as 24-volt DC power, auto-leveling hydraulic outriggers, fully proportional controls, and compliance with OSHA and ANSI standards. The document mandates that the manufacturer must have at least one authorized dealer within Louisiana capable of providing parts and service, with a preference for Louisiana-based businesses. Additional accessories required include a tilt alarm indicator light, hour meter, battery condition indicator, motion alarm, 110V AC platform receptacle, and a spare tire. The bid allows for equivalent equipment, but bidders must provide detailed documentation proving equivalency, and any exceptions to the specifications must be explicitly noted on the "Bidder's Exceptions" page. The number of delivery days after receipt of order may be used as a factor in the award decision.
