Roller Chopper Specs.docx

This is a specifications document for the Department of Natural Resources' Request for Proposal No. 240000002056 to furnish and deliver one (1) forestry roller-chopper implement. The equipment must be a ROCKLAND C-8 Rolling Chopper or approved equivalent, featuring a steel drum with bolt-on reversible and replaceable blades mounted to a square tube or I-beam steel frame via roller bearings and a full-length solid steel axle. The frame must include a drawbar type swivel hitch that can be folded for transport, with photos of the desired hitch design provided in the specification document. The owner's existing roller chopper with a comparable hitch is available for site visits upon request to allow bidders to take specific measurements. All exposed surfaces must be primed and painted.

The roller chopper specifications require a drum diameter of 58" to 62" (not including blades), drum width of 94" to 98", overall width of 118" to 122", minimum drum wall thickness of 3/8", twelve blades measuring 1" X 10" X 96" each, and an empty weight between 12,000 and 16,000 pounds. The drum must be constructed to allow for field filling with liquid to add weight. The document does not specify pricing terms, response dates, due dates, award dates, contract term, set-asides, incumbent information, or funding details.
