The drawer body will be laminated on ALL surfaces inside, outside and on all edges. (Including the bottom). The laminate will be 28 mil white colored mica. The laminate will be bonded to the drawer body with high bond contact adhesive specifically formulated for this application. The drawer body will maximize the interior cabinet volume. The drawer body height will be the height of the cabinet opening less one and one-half (1 1/2"). Vinyl or pressed particle board drawer bodies are unacceptable due to weight and durability constraints and will not be used. DRAWER FRONT: A 3/4" (19mm) thick drawer front will be fitted on the aforementioned drawer. The drawer front will be flush fitted to the opening and have uniform gap spacing around the perimeter. The drawer front will be finished with white cabinet liner laminate on the inside and the same colored mica as the cabinet face on the outside. DOOR EDGE FINISH: The edges of the aforementioned door(s) will be covered with anodized aluminum, U- shaped trim. The trim will be miter cut and wrapped around the perimeter of the door (On ALL four sides), including the hinged side. The trim will be bonded to the door edge and clamped. No screws or other mechanical fastener will be used to fasten the trim work to the door(s). The corners of the doors will be broken (rounded) after application. Vinyl "Iron on" or mica edge banding is not acceptable. CABINET LINER: The bottoms of all the cabinet, drawers and shelves of the cabinets in this specification will all be lined with a rubberized matting material. The top surface of the matting material will be non-skid with a pebble finish. The material will not be adhered in place so it is removable to clean the underlying surface of the cabinet(s). The material will be trimmed to fit without bumps or gaps. All the material will be one piece in each location. SOUND BARRIER BACKER: There will be an additional material installed behind aluminum cabinet structures to reduce the transmission of sound and thermal properties. The material offers Sound, Air and Moisture barrier by blocks airborne noise from entering the vehicle through open passages. When used between metal surfaces and mounting brackets it acts as a de-coupler and damper reducing the vibration of each surface and minimizing the transfer of noise between the surfaces and the cabin interior. MICA COLORS: The mica color selection will be two tone. The upper two thirds of the cabinetry will be Light Gray with a Matte finish. The lower third of the cabinetry will be genuine stainless steel with a brushed finish. The parting line between colors will be straight, tight, and clean.

A sample of the subject mica color and stainless steel finish will be supplied at the post award conference. STAINLESS STEEL APPLICATION: The lower section of the squad bench face under the lid will be applied with the stainless steel laminate as well as the same height on the rear filler panel between the squad bench and the rear doors.
