19.0 EQUIPMENT RENTAL <br />19.1 DESCRIPTION <br />This specification covers the furnishing and operation of equipment for other supplemental <br />earthwork as directed by the PROJECT MANAGER. <br />19.2 EQUIPMENT <br />All equipment shall be of the type and equipped as specified in the Special Conditions and on the <br />Invitation and Bid. Mounted or attached equipment shall be that customarily manufactured for <br />the respective size of equipment being offered. Size will be determined by maximum flywheel <br />horsepower ratings at sea level and are the minimum size that shall be furnished and operated. <br />Equipment must be in good operating condition and must be maintained in good operating <br />condition by the CONTRACTOR throughout the life of the contract. The PROJECT MANAGER <br />shall be the sole judge of whether equipment is or is not in "good operating condition". <br />The number of hours indicated in the Special Conditions and on the Invitation and Bid Sheet are <br />estimated. It is impossible to determine in advance the actual number of hours that the <br />equipment will be required to be used, or to guarantee that any equipment rental will be <br />necessary. <br />Calculations for FHP Adjustments <br />Equipment of any size above the minimum flywheel horsepower may be furnished subject to the <br />approval of the PROJECT MANAGER. In order to evaluate the bids for various sizes of <br />equipment proposed to be furnished by the bidders, the unit price inserted in the bid must be <br />adjusted. The bidder may figure the unit price to insert in the Invitation and Bid by doing the <br />following computation for the applicable bid item: <br />LRate you want oer hour) X (Requested FHP) =Price on Bid Schedule <br />(The FHP of your machine) <br />EXAMPLE: If the desired unit rate to be received is $70.00/hour fora 215 FHP bulldozer and the <br />minimum FHP requested is 140, then multiply $70.00 x 140/215 = $45.50 per hour. <br />Use that calculated amount ($45.50 in the example) as the unit price on the Invitation and Bid. <br />If the CONTRACTOR plans to furnish a machine other than the minimum FHP listed on the <br />Invitation and Bid, he must write the FHP of the machine, in ink, under the bid item on the <br />Invitation and Bid, or include it on the List of Equipment Offered form. <br />After the successful bidder has furnished evidence of the FHP capacity of the equipment to be <br />used, the amount bid for Equipment Rental will be modified by reversing the above procedure to <br />reflect the unit price desired by the CONTRACTOR with a corresponding reduction in the quantity <br />of hours required. This modified hourly rate and number of hours will appear on the Purchase <br />Order. <br />Colorado Division of Minerals & Geology GENERAL BID SPECIFICATIONS <br />1996 Page 77 <br />
