General:

This addendum will form a part of the RFQ and modifies the original Request for Quote (RFQ)

document. The following changes take precedence over items in the RFQ. Any portion of the

RFQ not changed by this Addendum remains in effect. Recipients of the Addendum are advised

Failure to do so may subject Proposer for disqualification.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/CLARIFICATIONS/DESCRIBED BELOW:

1. Question: I was wondering if you want hydraulic deploy/stow spray arms. The hydraulic

version would allow the operator to access all operations from the cab of the truck, except

filling and emptying of the liquid tank.

Answer: Yes

2. Question: You ask for casters at the end of the spray arms; we use a metal leg to prevent the

nozzles from rubbing on the surface when turning tight. Is this acceptable? A heavy caster

wheel will weigh the arm down unnecessarily.

Answer: Yes

3. Question: Our standard nozzles are a 3-way nozzle; we have a Streamer (Pencil style), a #18

Fan nozzle and a #35 fan nozzle. Is this acceptable?

Answer: Yes

4. Question: Our break away for the 50' spray arms is a manual break away and must be reset

manually. It will not return to its normal operating position on its own. Is this acceptable?

Answer: Yes

5. Question: We mount a LED strobe light at the end of each spray arm. We currently have no

provision for a strobe light mounted on the tank. Is this acceptable?

Answer: Yes

6. Question: We do not currently install STT & reverse lights on these trailers because the

lights on the truck pulling it are visible and the trailer is not used on public roads. Is this

acceptable?

Answer: No, we would like the lights on the trailer.
