South Bend Fire Department <br />CommanderChassis <br />One (1)Cab Header/ Heating and AC <br />03-08-4000 <br />One (1)Heating w/ Air Conditioning, Overhead,12VDC <br />05-02-0012 <br />CAB HEADER <br />The cab header shall offer Heavy-duty, durableconstruction using resin transfer molding (RTM) <br />technology formedcomposite material. The composite material shall be .28" thick for improved <br />resistanceand military type strength. <br />RTM is a low pressure, closed molding process which offersa dimensionally accurate and high- <br />quality surfacefinish composite molding, using liquid thermoset polymers reinforced with <br />various forms of fiberreinforcements. The matrixselection of polymer andreinforcement <br />dictates molding mechanical and surfacefinish performance. <br />ABS polymer construction shall not be acceptable. No Exceptions. <br />The cab header shall offer a finish of a polyurethane coating fora rugged design and finish. No <br />Exceptions. <br />The polyurethane finish shall provide a tough, flexible, impact-absorbing, chemical & abrasion- <br />resistant, even-texturedand skid-resistant surface. The polyurethane finish shall offer durability <br />and scratch resistance even against today's advanced firefighting turnout materials with <br />consistent, even coverage and a uniform texture.The polyurethane coating finish shall resist <br />fading from UV light. <br />The cab header shall also be purpose built for integration of Fire/EMS components and ease of <br />maintenancewith panelsabove both the driver and officer positions measuring 8" wide x <br />15"long for mounting radios, aerial controls and switches. <br />HVAC HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEMS <br />The interior cab climatecontrol shall be comprised of a triple system that shall include a <br />defroster,acab and crew heaterand airconditioner for acomplete HVAC system. The air <br />conditioning system shall be comprised ofcompressor, condenser, and a minimum of three (3) <br />evaporators to provide consistent temperaturecontrol throughout the entirecab. <br />The system shall be rated as an EmergencyVehicle gradefor the use in Fire and Rescue style <br />vehicles and shall provide environmental air treatment in accordancewith published SAE <br />standards. <br />The HVAC system shallbe tested and certified by the component manufacturer anda third-party <br />independentcertified testing laboratory, includingall three systems. Documentation of test <br />results shall be providedwith the bid. No Exceptions. <br />10039-001609/02/20 <br />27 <br />PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com <br /> <br />
