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 <br /> the Invitation and Bid. Mounted or attached equipment shall be that customarily <br /> manufactured for the respective size of equipment being offered. Size will be determined by <br /> maximum flywheel horsepower ratings at sea level and are the minimum size that shall be <br /> 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 <br /> are 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 <br /> the 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 /> (Rate you want per 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 for a 215 FHP bulldozer and <br /> the 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 <br /> Bid. If the CONTRACTOR plans to furnish a machine other than the minimum FHP listed on <br /> the 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 <br /> be used, the amount bid for Equipment Rental will be modified by reversing the above <br /> procedure to reflect the unit price desired by the CONTRACTOR with a corresponding <br /> reduction in the quantity of hours required. This modified hourly rate and number of hours <br /> will appear on the Purchase Order. <br /> 19.3 EXECUTION <br /> Operators <br /> The equipment shall be furnished complete with competent operating personnel. Operators <br /> shall be qualified to perform all work under this specification in a skillful and professional <br /> manner. The OWNER may, in writing, require the CONTRACTOR to remove from the work <br /> any employee the OWNER deems incompetent or careless. The OWNER will be the sole judge <br /> of the acceptability of any employee. <br /> 4 <br />
