BID SPECIFICATION – ITEM
Bidder must complete and return this form for the bid to be considered
responsive. A check mark shall be placed in the areas of specification
agreement. Variances must be clearly identified and bidder may use a separate
sheet if necessary. Approved equals will be considered if vendor includes
detailed product specifications for the City’s consideration. Failure to comply with
any part of the specifications will not remove that bid from consideration but will
indicate a variance on which the City alone will determine the importance to the
overall performance of the item and suitability for the intended purpose.
Equipment bid is to be new, unused and of the Manufacturer’s latest model. Any
omission from the specifications shall not relieve the bidder from the
responsibility of furnishing a mini excavator with optional trailer, hammer and
thumb attachments ready for use. All specifications in this bid are minimum
specifications, unless otherwise noted, and bidders are reminded that equipment
should meet or exceed these specifications. Items highlighted by “bold” letters
indicate items for which variances will not be allowed.
