Signal Hill Fire Protection Association Inc. Request for Proposals 1500 Gallon per Minute Triple Combination Pumper With Related Components. These specifications contain the major cab, chassis and drive line components, pump and plumbing as well as desired compartment configurations. The Department recognizes and appreciates that each fire apparatus manufacturer has its own, unique construction methodologies along with their standard features. -- i.e. it would be assumed that the drive train components would include an engine, transmission, drive shaft, pump transmission, universal joints, carrier bearings and differential. Or, that chassis frame rails would include firmly secured cross members. Or, that on horizontal surfaces were firefighters would step, tailboard, running boards, steps would have non-slip surface of aluminum tread plate or the like. The apparatus shall conform to nationally recognized standards/regulations for fire pumper apparatus, including -- but not limited to; the National Fire Protection Association, the National Highway Traffic Administration, or the United States Department of Transpiration, unless otherwise specified within these documents. Specific reference is made to National Fire Protection Association Standard 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus, 2009 edition. Minor details of the construction of and materials, where not otherwise specified, shall at the discretion of the bidder, who shall be solely responsible for the design and construction of all features. The Department expects that each bidder will submit with their bid, detailed drawings along with specific details as they relate to the major components and the completed apparatus. Included with the bid submission shall be a Vertical Center of Gravity & Weight Distribution analysis, etc. Unless otherwise stipulated, equivalencies to these specifications are permitted, provided that information is submitted that clearly demonstrates that any substitution is equal to or better than that specified. The Department also accepts that several manufacturers are considered “sole source” - - fabricating and/or assembling their own specific cab, chassis and body. In the spirit of impartially, and for the purposes of preparing Request for Proposals, the Department elected to base cab/chassis requirements of a Spartan Motors Medium Four Door with a raised roof. Since many sole source builders are very familiar with Spartan, it should be fairly easy correlated their specific cab/chassis to the Department’s expectations. Thus, sole source builders are encouraged to submit bids emphasizing their products. Bidder Signal Hill Fire Protection Association, Inc.
