(a) From a standing start the vehicle will attain a true speed of 35 mph within 25 seconds.
(b) From a steady pace of 15 mph, the vehicle will accelerate to a true speed of 35 mph within 15 seconds. This will be accomplished without moving gear selector.
(c) The vehicle will attain a minimum speed of 60 mph.
(d) The apparatus will be able to maintain a speed of at least 20 mph on any grade up to and including 6 percent.
The GAWR and GVWR of the chassis will be adequate to carry the fully equipped apparatus including water and other tanks filled, the specified hose load, unequipped personnel weight, ground ladders, and a miscellaneous equipment allowance per NFPA criteria as well as additional equipment and personnel specified by purchaser. A personnel is calculated at 200 lbs per person.

Spaceframe Body - STAINLESS STEEL
The apparatus body shall be a Space Frame design. The entire body structure shall be built as a space frame design with integral structural members forming the entire body structure (compartment frames, subframe, and tank support area). The space frame design provides maximum torsion resistance and load capabilities. The entire space frame structure shall be welded together utilizing an A.W.S. Certified welding procedure. NO EXCEPTIONS
The space frame design shall also be required because it provides energy absorbing impact zones in the structure, thus providing increased safety to the rest of the apparatus and personnel on board. Documented proof of this extra safety shall be required upon request.
The Tri-Max body structure shall consist entirely of closed section members, except where the body is mounted to the chassis. Closed section members (such as square, rectangular, triangular, or round tubes) are required because they provide maximum strength and torsion rigidity. This style of design ultimately reduces fatigue and shall add longevity to the body structure. Body designs that use formed sheet metal compartments with independent subframes shall not be acceptable.
Body Structure Members: The spaceframe body shall have triangular shaped structural members in certain areas of the body. This shape is required to prevent loss of useable compartment space and serve as an attachment member for shelves, trays, or other equipment that requires mounting. Other body structure members shall be square or rectangular. Each structural member will have a nominal outside dimension of 2.5" in at least one direction. The body shall be designed for maximum strength to weight ratio, therefore the gauge of sheet metal and structural members varies from 14 gauge to 11 gauge throughout dependent on the design requirement.
Body Material Type: All body structure and sheet material shall be premium grade Stainless Steel, Type 304L. This alloy is required because it provides optimum all-around performance for strength, manufacturing properties, and corrosion resistance.
Compartment Floors: The body compartments shall be enclosed with stainless steel sheet metal as specified above. The compartment floors shall have a 1" lip downward at the door opening side of the compartment. This lip shall integrate with a structural member on the bottom edge and form a "sweep-out" compartment. This design shall also allow for a structural flush-fitting door frame and a complete door/weather seal.
Compartment Vents: The body compartments shall be vented through the structural members to below the apparatus body. There shall be mildew resistance filter media with aluminum mesh at the bottom of each structural member that is open for venting.
Compartment Load Capacity: Each compartment shall have a minimum of one additional structural compartment floor support centered on the underside of the compartment floor. This additional member shall be integral with the rest of the body structure. Each compartment must be designed, and 3rd party analyzed to carry a working load of:
Full depth side compartment: 1,000 lbs per compartment
Half depth side compartment: 750 lbs per compartment
Rear center compartment: 1,500 lbs per compartment
NO EXCEPTIONS
Finite Element Analysis: The proposed body design must have completed a review and analysis by a legitimate 3rd party engineering firm. At a minimum, the 3rd party must have conducted a computer model finite element analysis of the proposed design. The analysis is to include real world working load scenarios. Analysis to cover both static and dynamic situations must be completed. The purpose of the finite element analysis is to ensure proper design of the apparatus body, and that it is capable of carrying the typical fire apparatus loads and those specified by NFPA for equipment. The analysis process must conclude that the body structure is properly designed and manufactured to provide longevity under normal conditions. The 3rd party must also validate the manufacturing processes are consistent with the design and analysis performed. Proof of having completed this testing must be submitted with the bid. NO EXCEPTIONS.
