Equipment must be in good operating condition and must be maintained in <br />good operating condition by the CONTRACTOR throughout the life of the <br />contract. The PROJECT MANAGER shall be the sole judge of whether <br />equipment is or is not in "good operating condition". <br />Equipment of any size above the minimum flywheel horsepower may be <br />furnished subject to the approval of the PROJECT MANAGER. In order to <br />evaluate the bids for various sizes of equipment proposed to be furnished <br />by the bidders, the unit price inserted in the bid must be adjusted. The <br />bidder may figure the unit price to insert in the Invitation and Bid by <br />doing the following computation for the applicable bid item: If the <br />desired unit rate to be received is $70.00 per hour for a 215 FHP <br />bulldozer and the minimum FHP requested is 140, then multiply $70.00 X <br />140/215 = $45.50 per hour. Use that calculated amount ($45.50 in the <br />example) as the unit price on the Invitation and Bid. If the CONTRACTOR <br />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 <br />the bid item in the Invitation and Bid. <br />After the successful bidder has furnished evidence of the FHP capacity of <br />the equipment to be used, the amount bid for Equipment Rental will be <br />modified by reversing the above procedure to reflect the unit price <br />desired by the CONTRACTOR with a corresponding reduction in the quantity <br />of hours required. This modified hourly rate and number of hours will <br />appear on the Purchase Order. <br />The number of hours indicated in the Special Conditions and on the <br />Invitation and Bid Sheet are estimated. It is impossible to determine in <br />advance the actual number of hours that the equipment rental will be <br />necessary. <br />4.3 Execution <br />A. Operators <br />The equipment shall be furnished complete with competent operating <br />personnel. Operators shall be qualified to perform all work under this <br />specification in a skillful and workman like manner. The OWNER may, in <br />writing, require the CONTRACTOR to remove from the work any employee the <br />OWNER deems incompetent or careless. <br />B. Supervision <br />The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the supervision of all mechanical <br />operations of the equipment including proper maintenance. <br />Equipment maintenance, fueling and repairs shall be done so spillage of <br />lubricants and fuel is minimized. <br />-12- <br />
