The Government requires the repair of the cab and engine of a John Deere model JD6400 tractor. The JD 6400 tractor sustained damage when used in mowing and maintenance of the training areas. The tractor cab struck low hanging branches causing damage to the cab roof. The cab roof was broken in 5 locations causing weather leakage into the cab. The headlights and turn signals are integral to the roof structure. One headlight and one turn signal was destroyed and one headlight only suffered bezel ring damage. The inner roof, work light and head liner have all been destroyed by the weather leaks and requires replacing. The JD 6400 engine was damaged when an object penetrated the air breather assembly unbeknown to the operator. When normal equipment inspection was performed the puncture was discovered. Upon further investigation the foreign matter that escaped through the puncture, past the air cleaner into the engine caused damage to the engine. It is estimated that the engine will require a new air cleaner housing, overhaul kit plus normal miscellaneous parts used during the overhaul process.The Government shall pay for work actually performed on this tractor to the successful offeror only.
