6.3 ROOF The roof s hall be constructed of one-piece .090" aluminum. Th is alu minu m shall be a high ly corrosion resistant alloy and a ten s il e st rength range of 28,000 to 33,000 psi . The roof subst ructure shall be const ructed of four (4 ) fu ll -length "Z" se ctions MIG welded to the roof for support. The "Z" secti ons shall be a series of six (6) separate pieces running full length , front to back, bridging to the roof bow framework . They shall be of equally spaced d istance, inboard to outboard, sta ir stepped s izes of 3/4" x 1-1/2" x 3/4" inboard , 3/4" x 1-1/4" x 3/4" center, and 3/4" x 1" x 3/4 " outboard to form a crowned roof facilitating water runoff and ice build-up . The roof shall then be reinforced the entire length of the unit. For this reason, flat roofs shall be considered unacceptable. There shall be in addition to the above supports, twelve (12) .12511 x 2" x 2" cross members welded to the "Z" sections 12" on center and be made of a highly corrosion resistant alloy with a tensile strength range of 31 ,000 to 35,000 psi. Aluminum plates shall be welded between the roof support channels to mount lighting fixtures, assist rails, hanging stretcher mounts, and IV holders. Corner gussets shall be Heli arc welded to the roof radius extrus ions to enhance roof load bearing characteristics. Horizontal corner extrusions shall be .125" thickness and 2- 1 /2" rad ius. There shall be an integral drip rail formed into the extrusion. The horizontal extrusions shall use an interlocki ng method to secure the roof sheet into the envelope of the extrusion. The horizontal extrusions shall be of an open-face design for insertion of 2" x 2" x .12511 t ube structural members. Corner caps shall be .125" ca st aluminu m and welded in place. 6.4SIDES The s ides shall be constructed of .125" aluminum sheets with a highly corrosion resistant alloy and a tensile strength range of 28,000 to 33 ,000 psi . The body shall have straight sides free of waves and welding warpage. Doorjambs shall be formed integral into the sidewall .125" aluminum sheets (extruded doorframes are not acceptable). Each sidewall shall have twelve (12) vertical .125" x 2" x 2" wall studs 12" on center and joined to the roof supports. The box 2" x 2" channels shall be a highly corrosion resistant alloy with a tensile strength range of 31,000 to 35,000 psi. All box 2" x 2" roof and side support bows are .125" aluminum. Vertical corner extrusions shall be .125" thickness and have a 2-1/2" radius. The radius ends shall be tapered . The vertical extrusions shall be slotted for insertion of the sidewall sheets. The vertical extrusions shall be of a web construction design for internal structural support. The complete roof and s idewall structure sha ll be treated with a sound-deadening barrier of BUNA Rubber. / Y_L_N_ A co nt inuous 8" x 2" s ide i mpact beam shall be welded to s ide body and sidewall extrusions to each side of the unit where the squad bench and CPR seats are located . This s ide impact beam shaJ I allow for secure and custom izable mounting points for the squad bench and CPR seat seatbe lts . The side impact beam shall also provide additional structure and rigid ity in these seating locations in the event of an accident. Th is side impact beam shall be constructed of minimum a· x 2· x .250" thick aluminum . Seat belt backer plates welded or adhered in between the extrusions are unacceptable to this agency as this does not displace the energy of a side impact _L as effectively as a continuous side impact rail.
