The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is soliciting bids for a trailer-mounted, hand-feed lightweight Pavement Testing Core Drill, specifically the Kor-IT Model K-160. The manufacturer's engineering department is responsible for ensuring the unit is fully engineered, including any necessary adjustments to components or the gross axle weight rating based on weight distribution. The equipment must be delivered to the Fleet Management Division in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in a work-ready condition, meaning it is clean, lubricated, serviced, and fully operational. Deliveries must occur on working days between 7:00 AM and 2:30 PM, with the bidder bearing any additional unloading costs. Key requirements include the provision of both paper and electronic manuals on a USB drive, manufacturer warranty and service policies, and the necessary forms for Pennsylvania title and license applications. Each unit and major component must feature a metal identification tag with the OEM name, model, and serial number, and must be free of dealer branding. Hydraulic systems must be compatible with Universal Tractor Fluid. Payment is contingent upon a satisfactory review by the department to ensure all bid specifications are met and any deficiencies are corrected. Additionally, contractors must certify compliance with Pennsylvania state labor and workplace safety laws, including the Minimum Wage and Prevailing Wage Acts, via the BOP-2201 certification form.
