Workmanship is to be of the highest quality in its 6 respective field. 7 8 The vendor is to insure adequate accessibility of the various systems that require periodic maintenance, 9 ease of operation (including pumping and driving), and symmetrical proportions. 10 11 Construction shall be rugged and ample safety factors shall be provided to carry the loads specified and 12 to meet both on and off‐road requirements and speed conditions as set forth under “Performance Tests 13 and Requirements”. 14 15 Welding is to not be employed in any manner in the assembly of the apparatus that would prevent or 16 hinder the removal of any component or part for service and/or repair. All steel welding is to follow 17 American Welding Society D1.1‐96 recommendations for structural steel welding. All aluminum welding 18 is to be done to American Welding Society and ANSI D1.2‐96 requirements for structural welding of 19 aluminum. Flux core welding is to use alloy rods, type 7000, American Welding Society standards A5.20‐ 20 E70T1. The manufacturer is to have all critical welds inspected by a certified American Welding Society 21 inspector prior to painting. 22 23 All components and parts are to be new and of current manufacture. The use of new military surplus, 24 used, obsolete or discontinued items is not acceptable. 25 26 Self‐threading and/or sheet metal fasteners are to not be used in high use, wear, or vibration areas and 27 then they are only allowed to be used where they protrude into blind areas not accessible by hand. 28 Bolted construction is to be employed as standard. Tapped holes, studs, welded fasteners, etc. are to be 29 used where necessary to allow items to be removed and reinstalled by one person where it is not 30 possible to reach the opposite side of the fastener. 31 32 All sound attenuation material is to be securely fastened to panels with adhesives recommended by the 33 attenuation material manufacturer. Any attenuating material that might be affected by the engine 34 cooling fan air blast is to be enclosed in suitable frames and covered with metal screening. The material 35 used should be of the latest and most modern design. 36 37 Aluminum diamond tread plate or stainless‐steel covering is to be used in all areas that have high 38 exposure to paint damage under normal use. These areas include, but are not limited to, surfaces 39 adjacent to walking or stepping surfaces, equipment mounting location, and areas subject to hose 40 coupling and equipment damage. 2 CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO Budget# FC2007 Appendix A VEH# 14500315‐319 EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATION FOR A SFFD HOSE TENDER REVISION DATE: 10/24/2019 41 All mechanical linkages are to use bronze bushings or bearings at load bearing points wherever practical. 42 43 OPERATIONAL NOISE STANDARD: 44 Noise level shall be in conformance with standards established by Local, State and Federal Agencies. City 45 personnel may test each unit delivered for noise requirements before the unit is accepted. 46 47 MANUFACTURING, MATERIAL AND DESIGN PRACTICES: 48 It is intended that the manufacturer, in the selection of components, will use material and design 49 practices that are the best available in the industry for the type of operating conditions to which the 50 unit(s) will be subjected. Engine, suspension, wheels, tires, and other component parts shall be selected 51 to address the performance requirements of this specification. All parts, equipment and accessories 52 shall conform in strength, quality of material and workmanship to recognized industry standards. 53 54 HEAVY DUTY TERMINOLOGY DEFINED: 55 The term “heavy duty” as used in these specifications shall mean that the item to which the term is 56 applied shall exceed the usual quantity, quality or capacity supplied with standard production unit(s) and 57 it shall be able to withstand unusual strain, exposure, temperature, wear, and use. 58 59 GENERALITIES: 60 To allow for manufacturer’s specific designs, and insure a level of competitiveness, we have left certain 61 areas of our specifications general by design. In such cases, the items being referred to may be general, 62 but adherence to the requested end‐product and/or result must be met. This is especially important in 63 areas where critical dimensions, capacities, grades of steel, etc. are specified. In the cases where the 64 word “SHALL” is used, no substitution will be allowed. 65 66 MANUFACTURER’S SPECIFICATION: 67 A complete manufacturer’s specification, published literature, photos or illustrations of the unit 68 proposed shall be furnished with the proposal. Only new models in current production that are 69 catalogued by the manufacturer and for which printed literature and specifications are available will be 70 accepted. Proposers shall prepare and submit their own proposals addressing each section, item, or 71 component of these specifications, indicating full compliance without exceptions, or explaining in detail 72 any exception, deviation, or non‐compliance. 73 74 MANUFACTURER’S STANDARD EQUIPMENT: 75 All equipment and components listed as standard by the manufacturer for model quoted shall be 76 furnished whether or not such items are detailed herein, e.g., special wrenches, tool kits, etc. Optional 77 equipment as necessary to meet the following requirements of this specification shall also be supplied. 78 Should the requirements as specified not comply, the manufacturer is required to re‐figure and revise 79 the specifications to meet all laws, rules and regulations where it applies to items such as the ratings of 80 axles, tires, rims, brakes, batteries, cooling capacity, etc. and the City is to be notified thereof. 3 CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO Budget# FC2007 Appendix A VEH# 14500315‐319 EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATION FOR A SFFD HOSE TENDER REVISION DATE: 10/24/2019 81 HOSE AND WIRING ROUTING, HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS: 82 All hoses and wiring shall have adequate protective covers wherever there is a possibility of contact with 83 any other components. Separators shall be used where applicable. No tape or adhesive fasteners shall 84 be accepted. All hoses, wiring and pipes shall be routed to be clear of all heat sources and shall be 85 protected from any present or potential source of snags, abrasions or sharp edges. If any wiring is routed 86 through any tool compartment or canopy, these wires shall be enclosed in steel. All fasteners (nut, bolts, 87 rivets, etc.) shall be grade 5 or better with a rust‐inhibiting coating. Several applications will require grade 88 8 fasteners. 89 90 Battery cables, hydraulic hoses and air lines shall be routed through the vertical face of the chassis frame 91 rails using bulkhead connectors. The use of grommets through frame rails, as well as running hoses or 92 cables under, over or ahead of the chassis frame rails to achieve positive connections shall not be 93 acceptable. 94 95 For ease of maintenance, the wiring harnesses, hydraulic hoses and air hoses are to be divided down 96 each frame rail. The hydraulic and air hoses are to be run, primarily, down the inside of the right‐side 97 frame rail, while the electrical harnesses are to be run, primarily, down the left side frame rail. Harnesses 98 and hoses shall be mounted using rubber‐coated, stainless steel holders and, where necessary, heat‐ 99 resistant zip loom. 100 101 WELDING: 102 All welding shall be continuous where applicable. All welding shall be performed in accordance with the 103 applicable requirements of the latest codes, rules or specifications of the American Welding Society 104 (AWS) and requirements of these specifications and special provisions and shall be subject to the test 105 and examinations therein specified. 106 107 CONTRACT ADDENDUM: 108 Any changes made to the specifications after the order is issued shall be approved in writing by Office of 109 Contract Administration (OCA) and SFFD prior to the incorporation of the changes.
