Approval of equivalent equipment is at the sole discretion of the DCNR.

C. BREAK DOWN AND NON-OPERATIONAL EQUIPMENT:

If the rental dump truck or any of the specified components breaks down and becomes

non-operational in the field, the DCNR will notify the Contractor either verbally or by email.

After notification, the Contractor or a contractor-authorized mechanic\technician will repair

the dump truck or its component in the field if possible.

Department) or any mileage driven by the contractor or by an authorized repair technician

equipment rental services performed in the previous three (3) years as proof of

qualifications to provide the services involved in this contract. Similar service is defined as

rental of multiple heavy equipment for a period of six (6) months.

The bidder may already have one or more contract areas with the Department. If the bidder

additional evidence of their ability to operate multiple rentals within a specific time frame.

Evidence may include past, satisfactorily completed rental services of similar scope and

rental period.

References are an optional tool available to the Department to help determine bidder

capabilities. If any of these references are requested and the bidder cannot supply the

inadequate references will be made solely at the discretion of the Department.

to work performed for the Commonwealth.

Prior to commencement of the work under the Contract and at each insurance renewal date

during the term of the Contract, the Contractor shall provide the Commonwealth with

current certificates of insurance. These certificates or policies shall name the

Commonwealth of PA as an additional insured and shall contain a provision that the

coverages afforded under the policies will not be cancelled or changed until at least thirty
