The compartment shall extend into the body approximately 20 7/8" and be the full width of the side entrance door. An intermediate step shall be fabricated as part of the step well area. This intermediate step shall be an 8 1/2" step from the floor of the step well, and the actual floor of the ambulance shall be another 8 1/2" step. The vertical sides of the compartment shall be fabricated from .080 polished aluminum diamond plate. The floor shall include non-skid turtle tile, removable with a drain/sweep out plug for ease of cleaning. The intermediate step shall also be provided with the same nonskid turtle tile on the horizontal stepping surface. Aluminum diamond plate on the floor is unacceptable due to the slippery surface when wet. The Stepwell compartment shall also provide for recessed storage with access from the side entrance door. The stepwell area shall be integrated into the head of the squad bench resulting in a diamond plate recessed storage area with approximate dimensions of 5" d x 12" w x 24" high. . The intermediate step shall be fabricated with a 45 degree angle to allow for easy placement and removal of the portable oxygen cylinders stored in the recessed area. The sub -floor of the compartment shall be fabricated from 3/16" aluminum plate to provide a heavy duty walk surface which will not flex under foot. The upper edge where the step well meets the flooring material shall include non -slip polished aluminum threshold trim which is screwed in place. DOOR CONSTRUCTION: doors including personnel and compartment doors shall be constructed of a custom designed extrusion made of 6061 - ,6 aluminum alloy, used in combination with a "Bent Box Pan" exterior door panel. The bent exterior door panel shall be fabricated from .125" 5052-H34 aluminum alloy panels that have the exact properties and quality as the exterior side panels. Each door pan shall be manufactured with a 3/4" sharp inside corner bend to minimize outside bend radius. The custom extrusion shall be 45 degree miter cut and fit into the 314" recessed area of the pan. An epoxy seal shall be applied between the door pan and the extrusion to seal each door in addition to 100% welding on the outside corners of the door pan. The door shall have an overall dimension of 2 1/2", with the primary door seal being mounted to the door at the 3/4" dimension of the door exterior pan. The door latching hardware shall be mounted inboard of the seal in all cases. The door shall have gussets welded from the inside and shall be reinforced in areas where windows are to be installed and for areas where heavy objects might be hung from them. The door extrusion shall be designed in such a way to provide two surface grooves which are used for proper alignment of the door hardware concealed within the door. The grooves shall be used for proper in -out placement of the hardware so that proper alignment is always maintained. All slots and cutouts required for the rotary latches shall be machined or stamped prior to the construction of the door. Door configurations requiring double doors, shall utilize a structural member attached to the adjoining edge of the second opening door. This structural member shall match the seal surface of the door jams on the balance of the door opening. This member shall be welded in place and be a permanent member of the door. Add -on or bolted double door dividers are unacceptable. DOOR SEALS: The door shall incorporate a continuous seal permanently attached around the entire perimeter of the door. Automotive latching hardware shall not interrupt the seal surface. The seal shall be a custom designed hollow core seal specifically A4539-0001 I)INTIP001
