Information for Contractors
Sealed proposals are desired by the City of Scandia, 14727 209'h St. N., Scandia, Mn. 55073 from reputable manufacturers
of automotive fire/rescue apparatus in accordance with these specifications and with the advertisement, a copy of which is
attached, for the piece of apparatus as follows:
Fire Department light utility rescue apparatus; stainless steel apparatus body, emergency lighting, and all other
appurtenances in accordance with the following:
GENERAL REQUIItEMENTS: Each bid must be accompanied by bidders accurate written and detailed specifications
covering the apparatus and equipment which it is proposing to fumish and to which the apparatus furnished under the
Contract must conform. It is the intent of these specifications to cover the furnishing and delivering to the purchaser,
complete apparatus equipped as specified. Minor details of construction and materials where not otherwise specified are
left to the discretion of the Contractor who shall be solely responsible for the design and construction of all features.
RELIABILITY OF CONTRACTOR: Contractor shall furnish satisfactory evidence that it has the ability to design,
engineer, and construct the apparatus specified and shall state the location of the factory where the apparatus is to be
manufactured.The Contractor shall be the Manufacturer. Incorporating apparatus bodies or body modules not constructed
by the Contractor will not be considered. The apparatus design shall be an "original" engineered and tested by the
ContractorBidder and not reproductions (replicas) of fire/rescue apparatus designs previously engineered by other
Contractors/Manufacturers.
DESIGN: The design of the equipment shall be in accordance with the best engineering practices. The equipment design
and accessory installation shall permit accessibility for use, maintenance, and service. All components and assemblies
shall be free of hazardous protrusions, sharp edges, cracks or other elements which might cause injury to personnel or
equipment. NOTE: Where "nibbled" or non-continuous cutting methods are used to machine the body material,all edges
shall be reworked/machine smoothed for injury prevention and appearance reasons.
All oil and hydraulic tubing lines and electrical wiring shall be located in protective positions, properly attached to the
frame or body structure and shall have protective loom or grommets at each point where they pass through stnzctural
members.
Parts and components shall be located or positioned for rapid and simple inspection and recognition of excessive wear or
potential failure. Whenever functional layout of operating components determines that physical or visual interference
between items cannot be avoided, the item predicted to require the most maintenance shall be located for the best
accessibility.
Cover plates which must be removed for component adjustment or part removal will be equipped with disconnect
fastenings or hinged panels.
Drains, filler plugs, grease fittings, hydraulic lines, bleeders and check points for all components will be located so that
they are readily accessible and do not require special tools for proper servicing. Design practices shall minimize the
number of tools required for maintenance.
All components shall be designed and protected so that heavy rain or other adverse weather conditions will not interfere
with normal servicing or operation.

be Ny-Lok or approved equal,designed to prevent loosening.
NOTE: Lighter gauges of specified materials will not be acceptable.
The materials specified are considered absolute minimum. Exceptions to these minimum requirements will not be
permitted since all raw materials of the specified type are available to all manufacturers. Since all custom manufacturers
have the ability to shear, brake, and machine holes as these specifications require - all basic requirements must be
complied with.

manufacturing ability to carry out the terms of the contract. The Purchaser does not, in any way,oblige itself to accept the
lowest or any Bid.
CONSTRUCTION METHODS AND MATERIALS- NO EXCEPTIONS
It has been demonstrated that welded bodies constructed of angle, tubular, or extruded components are heavier and more
costly to own than a fabricated design. Therefore,the following specifications require strict adherence.

construction methods. It is the City's intent to receive proposals of such design. Proposals that include the practice of
mixing body materials such as stainless steel sheet metal over aluminum"space-frame"extrusions shall not be submitted.
Due to the requirement that the apparatus body be easily repairable, proposals that include the practice of stitch-welding,
seam-welding, or plug-welding mating body panels and fabrications shall not be submitted. Likewise, apparatus body
styles that rely on metal fusion, adhesives, encapsulating welded extrusions, or non-removable fasteners, as a method of
permanent assembly,will not be considered.
NOTE: THERE WII.L BE NO PROPRIETARY EXTRUSIONS USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROPOSED
APPARATUS BODY, THUS ALLOWING FOR APPARATUS BODY REPAIRS AND MODIFICATIONS BY ANY
QUALIFIED FABRICATOR AND/OR AUTO BODY COLLISION REPAIR CENTER.

recommendations of PPG. Product or technical data bulletins should be consulted for any needed information above that
which has been outlined herein. All paint materials shall be prepared and applied in accordance with this specification and
the paint manufacturer's latest written recommendation prior to paint application.
