IFB No. 65846

Highway Service Vehicles Listed below are the Questions (“Q”) Metra has received and Responses (“R”) of our agency: Q1: In the bid “General Requirements” section on several vehicles it calls for a 4 WD truck, but then

in the “Detailed Specification” section the drive train calls for Rear wheel drive which would contradict the specification. So am I to follow the General Requirements and the Specification List or the Detailed Specification?

R1: Refer to Addendum No. 1 Replacement Specifications. Q2: On Specification FM-15-002, 1 ½ Ton 4 Door 4WD Truck with Dump Body and Plow, calls for

the dump to be powder coated red. Is that accurate? R2: Yes, 100% powder coated RED inside and out. Q3: The rail gear also asks for powder coated red material. Is this accurate? R3: Specification No. FM-15-002, 1 ½ ton 4 Door 4WD Truck with Dump Body and Plow, does not

specify a rail gear. This specification requires a Storage Pack to be 100% powder coated RED inside and out.

Q4: On Specification, FM-15-006, 2 Ton 4 Door 2WD Truck with Crane and Rail Gear, Section 2.1.7

calls for mid ship fuel tank which is not available on the requested WB and cab configuration. Can the standard 40-gallon fuel tank be acceptable?

R4: Yes. The standard fuel tank is acceptable if it works with the other equipment in the specification. Attachments
