Sixty-four casters with a 1,800 pound capacity per caster are needed.

2. PROJECT/TASK NUMBER
3. ESTIMATED AMOUNT
4. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE.

THIS PART IS A SPECIALLY BUILT CASTER TO MEET THE LOAD CAPACITY AND ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY REQUIREMENTS OF OUR ENVIRONMENT. NO RESEARCH WAS PERFORMED DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS A CUSTOM BUILD TO SUITE OUR UNIQUE
SITUATIONAL REQUIREMENTS.
6. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES. COMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING SYSTEM, IF APPLICABLE, & NON-CONPATIBILITY COULD RESULT IN EXCESSIVE ADDITIONAL MANUFACTURING AND/OR
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS.
THIS CASTER IS CUSTOM BUILD BY THE MANUFACTURER TO HANDLE THE LOAD AND HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR OPERATION. A CASTER THAT DOES NOT MEET THE LOAD CAPACITY WILL POSE A SAFETY RISK TO OUR WORKFORCE AND THE ASSETS WE PRODUCE.
