Q&A – Round 2 – W912NS19Q2001

All Prior Questions, see Amendment 1

Q8: Are any of the proposed machine deliverables required to have "long reach" arms?"

A8: No. Addressed in SOW via the changes already made, this requirement was canceled.

Q9: Are any of the proposed machines required to have military paint color scheme?

A9: No. Commercial JD models are acceptable.

Q10: In regards to the note that day/week /month preventative maintenance and corrective service will be performed by schoolhouse. Kindly clarify what maintenance this contract requires the offeror to perform?

A10: The Soldiers/Students/Requirement holder will only do the daily lubrication requirements. All other maintenance shall be provided by the contract awardee.

Q11: Do you want all five of the excavators to have wedge lock couplers, or do you want some to have the quick latch kit?

A11: Wedge lock, the Wedge lock brand coupler. It has to work with the bucket/s and other attachments.

Q12: Do you want only the Wedge lock brand coupler, or would you take an equivalent, or would you want a pin grabber?

A12: Wedge lock, the Wedge lock brand coupler. It has to work with the bucket/s and other attachments.

Q13: For the plate compactor, do you have any specs that you want it to meet, or a model that you're looking for? There are a variety of plate compactors available for this excavator.

A13: We would use this as we discussed (PE). We might even use it to compact the ditch we dig so it should be slightly narrower than the bucket. No particular model, but must fit models, locks, need, etc.

Q14: For #7 - the grade ready reference mount that you requested, does this mean that you are planning to put a Trimble or some other aftermarket grade reference system on this excavator? If so, we would need to know exactly what you're planning to put on the machine and how you're going to use it.

A14: "IF" we had a Trimble system or the components, I would be hooking it up. We can possible borrow the system from AC (Active Component) for show and tell. This is not mission essential and won't break our heart if they come with no mount.
