REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION 1

Good day, We kindly ask you to consider and evaluate the following: 1. Regarding the requirement 3.1.1 “Vehicle category: N3SG (...), type of car weighting up to 12 tons.” We would like to offer a Unimog chassis that is suitable for the forest firefighting application but it has the weight of 12,5 tones (GVW). We kindly ask you to accept this weight for the chassis. 2. Regarding the requirement 3.2.1.3. “Fuel tank with a minimum capacity of 150 liters“ The Unimog fuel tank capacity available with the double cabin chassis is 145 liters gross, and 135 liters net. We kindly ask you to accept this capacity for the fuel tank. 3. Regarding the requirement 3.2.7.3. “Two maintenance-free batteries”. Considering the requirements related to fire protections for cables and other electrical elements, Unimog chassis comes with 2 batteries x 12V/170Ah, with reduced maintenance routine. We kindly ask you to accept this option. 4. Regarding the requirement 3.2.7.5 “All electrical system cables (...) shall be halogen free.” We kindly ask you to detail the reference “halogen free” for the electrical system cables. 5. Regarding the requirement 3.2.8.2 “All vehicle headlights and lamps shall be LED only, (...).” The model of Unimog we would like to offer has the following lights available: day lights are LED, headlights are bi-halogen, fog lights are halogen. We kindly ask you to accept this light system as described. Unimog models do not have other option at the current date. 6. Regarding the requirement 3.2.9.6: “Windows, doors and windshield shall have thermally insulated glass.” According to the technical sheet available at the present moment for the Unimog model, the windshield is clearly specified as having thermal insulation for the glass and no distinct specification for doors and windows glasses. We kindly ask you to accept the modification of the requirement to “At least windshield shall have thermally insulated glass”. 7. Regarding the requirement 3.2.9.9. “Sun visors mounted on the interior and exterior of the windshield”. The Unimog model we would like to offer has only a factory mounted interior sun visor and no exterior one. As general mention the exterior sun visors are made of plastic which makes them incompatible with the scope of the final vehicle: forest firefighting vehicle. We kindly ask you to accept the modification of the requirement to “Sun visors mounted on the interior of the windshield”. 8. Regarding the requirement 3.2.9.19. “Satellite navigation system based on GPS or Galileo with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, with updated maps of the Republic of Moldova and Europe. With maps updating capability by the owner of the vehicle.” The Unimog model we would like to offer has no option for a factory mounted Satellite navigation system based on GPS or Galileo with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay. We kindly ask you to accept a separate GPS system with the maps of Republic of Moldova and Europe, that will be installed in a secure position in the driver cabin. The owner of the vehicle will have the possibility to update the maps. Thank you.
