This amendment is raised to publish questions and answers.
Q1: Is the dolly set to be used on roads?
A1: YES but meant to be used in compound and Tarmac. There is other Dollys meant for roads.
Q2: What towing speed is required of the dolly set? On-road and off-road?
A2: It’s manually handle or with Forklift or a Mule.
Q3: Para 3.2.a states the dolly set shall be deployed on a ?flat soft or hard surface at 0 degree incline?. Para 3.2.d states that is shall be capable of being operated ?off-road? including ?open fields?, and para 3.5 states that it shall be ?all terrain?. Please clarify exact required operating conditions - is it hard level surfaces, or rough terrain?
A3: The Dolly set shall be capable of being operated off-road ( e.g. construction sites, open fields and dirt tracks). Terrain conditions shall include year round operations on snow, mud, sand and ice.
Q4: Para 3.6.d and 3.7.h and 3.7.I only call for a lift height of 60 mm. This is not consistent with being able to operate in open fields or all terrain. Dolly Set mobilizers used by the Canadian military have a ride height of around 355 mm. Please confirm this minimum height requirement.
A4: A minimum ground clearance 60 mm means ?as low as?
Q5: Para 3.1.a calls for reliability and maintainability testing. What are the specific R&M requirements?
A5: Be in production or a pre-production model that has gone through testing for performance, reliability and maintainability;
Q6: What type of steering system is required?
A6: No steering, it’s four individual units
Q7: What type of lifting system is required to lift containers up to ride height?
A7: Read para 3.7
Q8: Para 3.6.b calls for a maximum protrusion of 400 mm? Please explain what this means. Is this the length of the dolly set? Does it include the towbar or steering bar? Why is this important? - dolly sets in DND inventory have a longer length which is suitable for a higher lift height and better steering geometry.
A8: Each Units shall not protrude more than 400 mm beyond container length NOT the System.
Q9: Is C130 Aircraftloading of containers required?
A9: NO
Q10: Is there any preference for Canadian manufactured dolly sets that are already in DND inventory?
