This section shall be the construction parameters this agency has deemed as fair value. Primary manufacturers that deviate from these specifications may take exception as set forth in section Al. 1.2. The exterior of the body shall be constructed utilizing a full six sided box framework with a combination of high strength 606 1 -TI and 6063-T6 alloy aluminum and having an outer surface of aluminum sheet with a temper and alloy of 5052-1-132 for strength, weld integrity and corrosion resistance. The front, sides, and rear of the modular shall be configured from a single sheet of .090 aluminum. The one piece sheets shall be used to maximize integrity against dust, toxic fumes, cracking, and moisture penetration. The openings for doors, warning lights and exterior compartments shall be cut on the horizontal plane with a computer controlled plasma cutter for accuracy and integrity of temper. The roof and side skins shall be installed utilizing a very high bond adhesive to allow absorption of vibration and to eliminate "panning". The skins shall be welded to the interlocking extrusion framework at the outer perimeter of the sheets by a programmable robotic welder using a MIG welding tip and Argon gas. 10083-0016 08/27/18
