CITY OF THORNTONTechnical Specifications and Bid Items ForAutomated Side Loader Refuse TrucksGeneral StatementsDescriptionThornton is seeking proposals to have ongoing replacements within its fleet of refuse vehicles with automated side loaders (ASLs). These units will be utilized by Thornton for residential refuse pick-ups. These replacements will be on an as-needed basis, with the resulting understanding that one (1) Vendor will be Thornton’s awarded Vendor for up to the next five (5) years.The current Thornton fleet size of ASLs is nineteen (19) units. Thornton anticipates in 2020 to replace four (4) units and add two (2) more units to the fleet size. Thornton currently utilizes a seven (7) year replacement cycle on ASL units. Standard Factory EquipmentAll standard factory equipment shall be included with the equipment; no deletions of standard factory equipment will be permitted unless specifically superseded in these specifications. Accessories not specifically mentioned herein but necessary to furnish a complete unit ready for use shall also be ernment Requirements (where applicable) The vehicle/equipment shall be built to, and perform in accordance with, all the requirements of the latest edition of the following standards and specifications:FHWA,Federal Highway AdministrationSAE,Society of Automotive Engineers Specifications FMVSS,Federal Motor Vehicle Safety StandardsDOT,Department of Transportation RegulationsAWS,American Welding Society StandardsPUC,Public Utilities Commission (Colorado)Workmanship and DurabilityWorkmanship throughout the equipment shall conform to the highest standards. Durability shall be sufficient to allow safe and efficient operation of the pletion of Bid Items and AlternatesVendor shall complete each line item in “Offered Equipment” and “Cost” columns in the following manner:Offered: in “Offered Equipment” column write all requested information and specifications from the offered equipment. if the item can be provided as requested, provide cost of item in “Cost” column. Included: in “Offered Equipment” column write “Inc.” if the item is provided as standard equipment at no additional cost, “Cost” column enter $0.00.Differences: in “RED” type in “Offered Equipment” column adjacent to Description of Equipment provide information on the item being offered, in “Cost” column provide cost if there is a bid item cost. If a Vendor cannot meet or exceed a requested specification, the proposing Vendor is to note this difference on a separate letterhead with the Section number, and the corresponding specification letter/number. A variance tolerance may be allowed for some individual items, however, this will be at Thornton’s sole discretion. Vendors shall break out and list costs for each specification section. Failure to break out proposed costs may cause proposal to be non-responsive. Note breakout costs do not need to add up to the total cost, breakout costs will be used for comparisons clarifying cost issues and if deletions to the specifications need to be made.Basic Requirements or Approved Equal.When a brand/model is referenced in the specifications unless it is stated as “No Approved Equal” it is only a statement of expected quality, not a minimum qualification that has to be met. Information on alternative products shall be provided with the bid so a full technical comparison can be made of the product submitted as an “approved equal”. Thornton reserves the right to make the final determination if a Vendor’s submission will be considered as an approved equal.Thornton is expecting a completed unit, delivered and ready for service from the proposing Vendor. Thornton will not accept proposed units that are only for a cab and chassis or only for a refuse body. The proposing Vendor who submits their bid shall be responsible for the completed unit and final delivery to Thornton.
