WILDLAND FIREFIGHTING BULLDOZER

I. GENERAL STATEMENT OF WORK:

The purpose of this specification is to establish a purchase requirement for specially equipped wildland firefighting crawler bulldozers (dozers) and accessory equipment for use by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Eastern Region – Division of Wildland Fire Management. The machine as specified will be used for hazardous fuels projects and emergency wildfire response purposes. The mission requirements for fire dozers differ from those that are utilized in the construction and other non-emergency related industries due to the critical nature of the work that these machines and operators are expected to perform. The requirements identified in this document will be strictly adhered to as the safety of our firefighters and public are the number one priority for the wildland fire agencies. This equipment will be subjected to extreme heat, steep slopes, rocky terrain, swamps, bogs, dusty conditions, forested landscapes, all risk incidents including hurricanes, floods and other natural disasters. It’s critical to the mission that the equipment identified in this specification is reliable and properly outfitted to perform under the most extreme conditions that may exist in the environment that it will be exposed too. For those reasons these specifications were developed to provide our dozer operators with a safe, reliable and effective tool.

The firefighting dozer offered must meet the detailed requirements listed in this document and must be equipped with a with factory-installed Fire Suppression Package designed to help protect the operator and the machine in harsh applications commonly associated with wildland fire responses.

The offeror shall include all costs associated with dealer upgrades or modifications required to meet the specifications identified in this document as part of their final quote.

The machines offered in answer to this request for bid must be new and unused current production models of the equipment required. No prototype, or demonstrator, or rebuilt products will be accepted, and offering of such products will be cause for bid rejection.

The offeror shall furnish supporting documentation with their quote in the form of specifications sheets, equipment brochures, catalog pages or other documentation as requested to support their quote. The Bureau reserves the right to obtain technical data and to request clarification when deemed necessary.

Failure on the part of the bidder/Vendor to provide all requested documentation may be cause to reject the bid/request as non- responsive.

Each fire dozer is to be completely assembled, including options and attachments, thoroughly tested and ready for operation upon delivery. Once received and inspected the equipment will be placed into service by a qualified representative of the Bureau at the delivery location. The representative must demonstrate that each fire dozer, all installed equipment, and attachments are operating correctly, with no defects in materials, parts, or installation. The representative must operate each vehicle and all the equipment and instruct user personnel in operation of all items, maintenance/service, and safety requirements.

Contact Reese Kerbow at (828) 736-0952 (Cell) or e-mail reese.kerbow@bia.gov not less than 48 hours prior to delivery. Provide your best delivery lead time after receipt of order (ARO), in the “DELIVERY” section at the end of the specifications.

Delivery: Eastern Cherokee Agency, 32 Drowning Bear St. Cherokee, NC 28179

Period of Performance: Machines shall be delivered within 180 Days after successful vendor receives the Notice to Proceed From the Contracting Officer.

mailto:reese.kerbow@bia.gov

No Federal tax, excise tax, or registration is to be included with the bid. Tax exemption registration number will be furnished.

Operator training shall be for no more than four (4) hours for the assigned dozer to BIA Eastern Region - Division of Wildland Fire Management personnel at Cherokee, NC.

Products provided must include warranty to provide the best practical no-cost protection to the Bureau for correction or replacement as needed for defects in manufacturing, assembly, or parts, to cover dozer tractor and all included equipment. Minimum warranty requirement is 12 months full coverage. Provide documentation of your best warranty in the “WARRANTY” section at the end of the specifications.

Warranty must commence when the vehicle is put in service as evidenced by purchaser’s records, rather than commencing on the date of delivery. Copies of the warranty and a manufacturer’s certificate of origin shall be delivered with invoice.

POWER WIRING REQUIREMENTS:

• If the Tractor is designed on a primary voltage system other than 13.8 V DC, a power convertor converting system power voltage to 13.8 V DC at 20 amps nominal is required. Such systems must include documentation, schematic diagrams, and covered under warranty by vendor.

• Main Positive and Negative leads shall each be wired with a separate circuit; the Positive lead shall be protected by a self-resetting Fire Fighting Bulldozer/Tractor grade circuit breaker of 30 amp rating.
