About this file

This RFP packet contains specifications for motor graders solicited by the Clinch County Board of Commissioners in Georgia. The solicitation requests bids for one 2022 CAT 150 or John Deere 770G motor grader with a Rome Sloper attachment for a 5-year period or 7,500 hours, and three 2022 CAT 140 or John Deere 670G motor graders for a 5-year period or 6,000 hours each. The specifications document provides comprehensive technical requirements for the CAT 140 motor grader, covering engine specifications, powertrain and transmission requirements, steering and implement controls, brake systems, hydraulic systems, front axle and tandem configurations, tire specifications, operator station features, circle and moldboard requirements, electrical systems, serviceability standards, safety and environmental features, and optional attachments. The specifications also include a parallel section detailing requirements for the John Deere 670G as an equivalent alternative.

Key specifications for the CAT 140 include a turbo-charged diesel engine with minimum 9.3L displacement and 179–231 HP across eight gears, a power shift transmission with eight forward and six reverse speeds, joystick steering controls without a steering wheel requirement, and a 14-foot minimum moldboard. Both options require a 24-volt electrical system, ROPS cab with air conditioning and heating, rear vision camera capabilities, and a 5-year or 6,000-hour full warranty with no travel, mileage, or deductible charges for warranty repairs. Bidders must provide a service and parts center within 50 miles of the Clinch County Public Works Department and deliver machines to that location. The specifications include detailed requirements for brake systems meeting ISO 3450:2011, hydraulic systems with closed-center load-sensing design, vandal protection, and ground-level accessibility for servicing and fueling.
