This document is a detailed Request for Bid (RFB 215-25) issued by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) for snowplows and snow wing plows. The specification covers three primary types of equipment: one-way front-mounted snowplows (right or left discharge), reversible front-mounted snowplows, and snow wing plows, with variations for light, medium, heavy, and extra-heavy duty models. The bid seeks ruggedly built snowplowing equipment from experienced manufacturers capable of producing at least 100 units per year, with specific requirements for moldboard construction, drive frame assembly, lifting hardware, and paint/primer coatings. Approved manufacturers include Everest, LaRochelle, Viking, and Tenco.
The bid specification includes extensive technical requirements for equipment design, performance, and durability, with precise measurements for moldboard dimensions, weight ranges, and construction standards. The document mandates that all equipment must be compatible with existing Frink or Viking truck attachments, fully interchangeable, and capable of high-speed highway snowplowing. Paint and coating specifications are particularly stringent, requiring environmental compliance, specific solids content, film thickness, and color matching to NH Omaha Orange. The bid also provides suggested vendors and contact information for potential bidders, with detailed reference models for each manufacturer and duty level. Notably, the specification requires comprehensive technical documentation, including operating instructions, maintenance manuals, parts lists, and service bulletins to be provided with the equipment.
