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 <br /> on 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 <br /> by maximum flywheel horsepower ratings at sea level and are the minimum size that shall <br /> 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 <br /> MANAGER shall be the sole judge of whether equipment is or is not in "good operating <br /> condition". <br /> The number of hours indicated in the Special Conditions and on the Invitation and Bid <br /> Sheet are estimated. It is impossible to determine in advance the actual number of hours <br /> that the equipment will be required to be used, or to guarantee that any equipment rental <br /> will be necessary. <br /> Calculations for FHP Adjustments <br /> Equipment of any size above the minimum flywheel horsepower may be furnished subject <br /> to the approval of the PROJECT MANAGER. In order to evaluate the bids for various <br /> sizes of equipment proposed to be furnished by the bidders, the unit price inserted in the <br /> bid must be adjusted. The bidder may figure the unit price to insert in the Invitation and <br /> Bid by doing the following computation for the applicable bid item: <br /> (Rate you want per hour) XX (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 <br /> and 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 <br /> on the Invitation and Bid, he must write the FHP of the machine, in ink, under the bid item <br /> on the Invitation and Bid, or include it on the List of Equipment Offered form. <br /> 13 <br />
