Rear Tailgate <br />McNeilus does not incorporate a manual rear "safety pin" as we believe it <br />is safer for the operator to be able to handle the operation of dumping the <br />load off the body while remaining in the cab as opposed to your requested <br />specification which increases the opportunity for operator injury by having <br />the operator exit the cab while at the dumping location. <br />Hydraulic System <br />The McNeilus ZR uses a tandem piston pump in lieu of the "double vane <br />pump" requested. This pump will be run off the transmission as opposed <br />to the front mount crank shaft configuration requested. <br />Warranty <br />Regarding the following statement, "if travel outside the City of South <br />Bend is required for warranty repairs, transportation of the unit is the <br />responsibility of the successful bidder. Transportation must take place <br />within the next normal working day or the responsible party will be <br />charged $100 per day late fee." McNeilus will not transport your vehicle <br />to and from a repair facility for repairs and takes exception to this and the <br />$100 per day late fee. We will however, for the body portion, provide on - <br />site service by a qualified McNeilus repair technician. <br />Price guarantee <br />McNeilus will honor the bid price until the end of the 2018 model year for <br />the Mack LR being bid. If the city is anticipating ordering more equipment <br />we would be happy to provide you with an estimated timeline on when the <br />2018 model year will close for Mack so you would have the opportunity to <br />commit to more units at this same price, <br />Delivery <br />Regarding delivery and your requirement for being delivered within 100 <br />days, McNeilus will not meet this requirement as we would be ordering <br />you NEW 2018 model year Mack LR chassis. Mack has been in the new <br />model year since early January 2017. If someone is able to bid you a 2016 <br />chassis, it has likely been sitting around, aging for up to two years <br />depending on when that chassis was ordered by the supplier. <br />Page 3 of 3 <br />
