Colmery O’Neil VA Medical Center

Topeka, KS

Statement of Requirements: Replacement of Clark C35L Forklift

Background: The Topeka VA Medical Center Grounds Dept. requires a more long-term and affordable solution in performing their duties and other responsibilities concerning grounds maintenance – requiring more industrialized and heavier equipment. The purpose of this procurement is to obtain an updated 10,000 lb. capacity forklift capable of completing heavy workloads that other machinery cannot do either efficiently or possibly at all and reducing the overall strain and resources on the department staff.

In addition to the equipment requirements, there may be included incidental services of warranties, installation, support service and equipment accessories. *****All components and services are name brand or equal *****
