Manlift Rental

Added: Sep 08, 2015 9:29 am

Amendment 0001: The purpose of this amendment is to answer solicitation questions as follows:

Q1. The manlift basket is to be equipped with a swinging gate not a lift bar and also the work tray item 401 (see illustration at the end of the specification)." I do not see an illustration anywhere on this solicitation. Can you please send me a copy of the illustration to confirm the end user is asking for the standard Tool Tray option that JLG offers on their boom lifts?

A1. Please see Attachments section for illustration.

Q2. CLIN 0002 M450AJ asks for a 2 person basket. JLG offers the following standard size basket on NEW boom lifts:

Platform 30 x 60 in . ( .76 x 1 .52 m) Side Entry w/ swing gate.

Would the Navy find this acceptable as a 2 person basket?

A2. The Navy would find this example acceptable as a 2 person basket.

Q3. CLIN 0004 - 80' boom lift, JLG 860SJ asks for an 860SJ boom lift however the Navy has the following verbiage within their spec description:

"The manlift shall be a self-propelled hydraulic boom lift with a nominal 80 ft platform height."

Since the Navy only ask for 80' platform height and nowhere do they ask for a 6' jib, Does this mean that they would accept a JLG800S or do you want the JLG860SJ?

A3. The 860SJ is what the Government is requesting.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged and in full effect. The date/time for receipt of quotes has not changed.

4) Provide signed/dated documentation, showing the annual and/or most recent subsequent quarterly inspection with each machine upon delivery. The vendor's inspection sticker on the machine is not acceptable documentation. The contractor will deliver equipment with the aforementioned certification records that demonstrate the equipment maintenance is up to date with current standards listed in this contract. This will require the equipment to be delivered with the annual maintenance record of the machine and any monthly/quarterly/periodic inspections as applicable. The equipment acceptance will be delayed if the accurate paperwork is not delivered and the invoice will be adjusted accordingly.

5) Schedule and provide quarterly maintenance and inspections for each aerial platform.

A statement or certification to the effect that maintenance has been performed will not suffice. The record must reveal the actual elements of inspection and maintenance being performed. The checklist to be utilized is an attachment of this contract. Up to date inspections will be kept with the equipment at all times. It is the sole responsibility of the contractor to insure the preventive maintenance is kept up to date. If records are not up to date and records are not provided as set forth in these specifications, the equipment will be inoperable to the government and the government will not pay for the downtime caused by inadequate or incomplete records. The contractor shall provide forty-eight (48) hour notification to the Government prior to providing preventative maintenance (PM) of the manlift on site.

If hydraulic leaks become frequent the government may request to have the equipment removed from the shipyard and replaced with a different manlift.

F. Transportation - All delivery and pick-up charges are the responsibility of the contractor.

The criteria set forth in this solicitation, has in mind the utmost importance on safety of operator's and assistant workers in the use of this equipment. There are significant costs to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in training for safety and operational features of manlift aerial equipment. The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard has determined it necessary, both in financial aspects and readiness factors, to standardize the training for aerial manlifts. Because of the significant costs of training and the importance of safety & operational features, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is limiting the types of models for the purpose of standardization and familiarity with equipment as set forth herein. THE MODELS LISTED ARE THE ONLY MODELS, WHICH WILL BE ACCEPTED.
