Hammermill — Our specification called for a drum with reversible skin as well as replaceable end <br />caps. When the leading edge in front of the cutting teeth is worn the sections can be unbolted <br />and turned around to extend their life. The hammermill offered by Duratech does not offer any <br />of these, it is a one piece design. <br />Tub — We specified T1 steel based on its strength and resistance to wear, Duratech offers A36 <br />which is a milder steel. <br />Conveyor System — We specified a single belt type to avoid spill over associated with multiple <br />belt designs. <br />Screens — We specified screens made of AR400 steel that are more durable than mild steel. The <br />Duratech offered by Link included mild steel screens. <br />Engine — We specified a Tier IV Final engine. They bid a machine with Tier III emissions, they <br />can do this because the manufacturer Duratech is using EPA credits. The reason we specified <br />Tier IV Final is because South Bend has been a long time leader in the State of Indiana in the <br />implementation of alternate fuels and fleet emission reduction. The City has received awards for <br />our effort from South Shore Clean Cities and Michiana Area Council of Governments. By <br />bidding a unit with Tier III emissions, this gives Duratech an unfair advantage over the other <br />bidders and doesn't help us with our goal of reducing fleet emissions. <br />***Vermeer of Indiana <br />Description <br />Qty <br />Unit Price <br />2017 Vermeer TG 5000 <br />1 <br />$445,000.00 <br />Alternate 1: Two 2) 4" round 6 x 9 diamond screens <br />1 <br />$4,346.00 <br />Alternate 2: Air Compressor <br />1 <br />$6,130.00 <br />Alternate 3: Heavy Duty Belt <br />1 <br />$5,975:00 <br />Alternate 4: Cab and loader unit with all necessary <br />upgrades to unit <br />1 <br />$50,450.00 <br />Alternate 5: Extended Warranty <br />1 <br />$31,550.00 <br />Alternate 6: Work Light Package <br />1 <br />$2,639.38 <br />Purchase Price <br />$546,090.38 <br />
