This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation is issued as Request for Quotation (RFQ) from the Purchase Request number F1T2AP2150AQ01. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this acquisition is 811310. CLIN 0001: Excavator Repair This bid is for the service of a 20+ year old John Deere Excavator (Model 690D-LC). Currently, the engine operates, but the functionality is degraded. The engine often overheats, and runs sluggishly. The engine has not had a full service in over 5 years. The engine requires overhauling, optimization as well as a complete tune-up. The hydraulic system is sluggish, especially the boom cylinders. The speed of movement drastically declines when operating over an hour. After an hour, the system starts to overheat causing it to shutdown. The thumb portion of the bucket is broken with a bent hydraulic ram. Some of the excavator valves remain open, sacrificing fine control of excavator functions. The aforementioned issues compromise mission capability and the hydraulic system requires thorough maintenance to restore it to manufacturer's specification; to include hydraulic line and fitting replacement. The cab and chassis are worn and excessively rusted, refurbishment and painting of both is required. The following items inside the cab require restoration to manufacturer's specification: non-functional gauge clusters, missing floor mats, roof padding, correct seat and air conditioning unit. Due to the age of the equipment as well as damage caused by rates, the electrical system requires overhauling and replacement. The track and drive system requires maintenance and must be restored to manufacturer's specifications. Vendor will be a John Deere certified technician. Proof of certification will be required along with the quote. Equipment will be picked up from and returned to Bldg. 914, Perimeter Rd, Eglin AFB, FL, 32548.
