- Solicitation SP4510-18-Q-1011 15k Forklifts Questions & Answers: Q1 : 2.09 Tilt 15 fwd and 10 back: 15 degrees fwd is unusual and requires additional safety features, with the potential to significantly increase the price. Typical tilt forward values are 5 or 6 degrees. Is there an explanation why 15 degrees forward is needed? •A. You can remove this requirement altogether. If the cost is expensive, I would rather not increase the price over a specification that isn't a deal breaker anyways. Q2 : 2.5 Operator's Seat Safety Switch: Disable hydraulic functions is unusual as described. This requirement may require pilot or electronic control hydraulic functions, adding to the cost. Typical result of seat switch is the transmission going into neutral and the parking brake becoming active, thus bringing the forklift to a stop. Please confirm this feature. •A. The operator seat safety switch acts as a feature that disables the joystick or other hydraulic controls so it prevents an operator from standing outside, or to the side, of the forklift and manipulating the joy stick or individual lever to move the forks around. If the operator is not in the seat, then the forklift should be in neutral and parking brake applied already. This is a safety feature DLA would like to have. Q3 : CLIN 0002: Solid rubber tires are typically not made with a ply rating but rather a load capacity rating based on speed. Please verify specification. •A. I am not sure how to address this question other than to say that the solid rubber tires shall meet the same size and specifications as the original rubber tires. As long as the tire can carry the max capacity of the forklift at the safe operating speed the manufacturer recommends. Q4 : 6 Destinations: Mentions "locations below", and "They include, but are not limited to the following:" What are those possible delivery locations? Delivery and installation of all CLINs to be included in price, but allowing for delivery and training at any location in the world can add significantly to the quoted price. Can you please clarify? A. The destinations of the first delivery order will be San Antonio, TX, Fort Riley, KS, Norfolk, VA, and Anniston, AL. I do not have any sites for the option years as the requests have not been submitted for future purchases. Q5 : 15. Installation: "it is the contractor's responsibility to make arrangements to conduct site visit prior to... bid." Please identify all possible sites and POC. •A. See response to question four regarding destinations. Site POCs change all of the time and will be provided upon the first purchase order.
