REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS 

SPECIFICATIONS OF GOODS

The Contractor, to the satisfaction of the City, shall furnish all necessary labour, materials, supplies, and transportation necessary for the supply and delivery of the Good(s) and any additional work reasonably required to be done for the fulfillment and completion of this Agreement.

It is the intent of this specification to provide for the purchase, and delivery of one (1) or more new and unused, twelve (12) inch tailorized chipper units (the “Goods”). The unit bid quotation shall be the manufacturer's current production model that meets or exceeds the following minimum specifications. Only a standard production machine may quoted on these specifications and a supplier will not be permitted to modify their standard production unit in order to meet these specifications.

The Goods should be manufactured by a company with a registered quality standard no less than ISO 9001.

Quotations will be accepted for consideration on any make or model that is equal or superior to the machine specified. Decisions of equivalency will be at the sole interpretation of the Fleet and Garage Manager of Surrey's Engineering Department. A blanket statement that equipment proposed will meet all requirements will not be sufficient to establish equivalence. Original manufacturer's brochures of the proposed unit are to be submitted with the Quotation.

Contractor should be prepared to demonstrate a unit similar to the one proposed, if requested.

It is the responsibility of Contractors to check the Websites for addenda. The only way this RFQ may be added to, or amended in any way, is by a formal written addendum. No other communication, whether written or oral, from any person will affect or modify the terms of this RFQ or may be relied upon by any Contractor. By delivery of a Quotation the Contractor is deemed to have received, accepted and understood the entire RFQ, including any and all addenda.
