1. Questions and Answers

Question 1

In the purchase description for Loader, Skid Steer Section 1.1 Scope it describes a tracked type compact loader. And in section 3.12 Tires, it requires Tires with L-2 tread design.

Please advise.

Answer 1

The requirement is for a Skid Steer. Section 1.1 of the Purchase Description has been amended to read the following: "This purchase description covers the requirements for multiple configurations of a skid steer loader"

Question 2 If you look at the purchase description under Scope, 1.1, it states:

This purchase description covers the requirements for multiple configurations of a tracked type compact loader.

Under section 3.12, Tires, it says

Tires with L-2 treads or equivalent shall be provided.

My question is, are they looking for a tracked type unit or a wheeled type unit as they are two different types of machines?

Any clarification would be much appreciated.

Answer 2

Please refer to answer 1.
