Benoît Paquin Telephone: (819) 956-3966 Facsimile: (819) 956-5227 Email: benoit.paquin@pwgsc-tpsgc.gc.ca ----------------------------------------------------- AMENDMENT 003
This amendment is raised to provide questions and answers to potential bidders as follows:
Question: Will the shipping containers indicated in the addendum for all configurations with the 96" forks, weigh approximately 22,000 lbs loaded?
Answer: The 96" forks (Forklift Attachment (1)) are required to lift at least 10,000 kg. For some configurations this will be greater than the capacity of the vehicle being delivered. This greater forklift capacity is to keep commonality with attachments and will allow the forks to be used with other equipment currently operated by the Canadian Forces.
Question: Purchase Description, Table 1.4 Configuration Capability Table - Configuration G 3.4.2 (b) Breakout Force lists a value of 185 kN and 35,950 lbs. Is the correct value 185 kN and 41,590 lbs or 170 kN and 38,220 lbs?
Answer: For all values listed in the purchase description the metric values will be used to define the requirements as stated.
For configuration G 185kN is the minimum breakout force acceptable.
1.2 Instructions
(g) Metric measurements shall be used to define the requirement. Other measurements are for reference only and may not be exact conversions
Question: Purchase Description, 3.5.2 Optional Equipment section f. Forklift Attachment (1) and section g. Forklift Attachment (2): Do you require fork tines (right and left) that move simultaneously maintaining equal distances from center or fork tines (right and left) that move independently of one another, where distance from center can be dictated by the operator?
Answer: Both adjustment methods will be acceptable.
All other terms and conditions remain the same.

----------------------------------------------------- AMENDMENT 001
This amendment is raised to provide questions and answers to potential bidders as follows:
Question: Regarding Configuration G page 2 of 16.
The required Operating Capacity is 11,575 lbs, Tipping Capacity of 23,150 lbs and breakout force of 35,950 lbs.
The breakout force seems disproportionate compared to the Tipping Capacity and Operating Capacity. Is the breakout force of 35,950 lbs correct / mandatory?
The tipping capacity and operating capacity will determine how large the machine is. When you consider the breakout force this will increase the size of the machine by 2 or 3 model sizes larger.
Answer: The values stated in the Purchase Description are correct. The Breakout Force as well as the Tipping Capacity and Operating Capacity are used for evaluating the required vehicle size for each configuration. Configuration G is the largest sized machine required as part of this Purchase Description.
Question: Can you tell us if it's possible to submit 2012 model Snow Blowers for this bid?
Answer: A 2012 model year Snow Blower will be compliant so long as this is the latest available model.
(a) Be the latest model. The manufacturer shall have manufactured and sold this type and size class of vehicle for at least 1 year;
If the 2012 model is the latest model available from the manufacturer then the 2012 model will be acceptable.
Question: Regarding 3.5.2 (f) & (g) - normally the longer the fork tines, the lower the capacity. Are (f) and (g) capacities reversed?
Answer: In this case the longer forks are required to have a high capacity because they will be used to move shipping containers. The smaller forks are to be used for smaller day-to-day activities and so require a lower capacity. The capacities listed are the minimum capacities required. Higher capacities are also compliant.
Question: Regarding 3.5.2 (j) - In Configurations F1, F2 & F4 you ask for a Snow Blower attachment and also a Snow Blower Control Interface. The Snow Blower will be supplied with the interface. You should not require an additional interface.
Regarding 3.5.2 (j) - In Configurations F3 & F5, you ask for a Snow Blower Control Interface. What Snow Blower make is the Interface for?
Answer: When indicated in the Attachment and Option Table a Snow Blower Control Interface is required for the given configuration. For Configurations F1, F2 and F4 the Snow Blower Interface is required to operate the Snow Blower supplied with each machine.
To clarify the requirements of the Snow Blower Control Interface for Configurations F3 and F5:
The Snow Blower Control Interface required with Configuration F3 shall be capable of operating the Snow Blower unit delivered with F2.
The Snow Blower Control Interface required with Configuration F5 shall be capable of operating the Snow Blower unit delivered with F4.
It is preferred that all Snow Blower units delivered to be the same make and model for a given configuration size.
All other terms and conditions remain the same. -----------------------------------------------------
