Pennsylvania Game CommissionSpecifications for a 350 Gallon Wildland Fire Truck BodyThe following specifications are for one (1) 350 gallon wildland fire engine body consisting of an aluminum bed, tank, pump, hose reels, and storage boxes to be mounted on a 2017/2018 Ford F-550 SuperCab with 6.7L Diesel engine, black in color. The engine, pump, and plumbing controls must be accessible from the rear of the unit. This is not a bid for a traditional skid unit with boxes. This is a full fire body build. The pump and plumbing should not be mounted on the same poly platform as the tank. The Game Commission will supply the truck (cab and stakebody). The vendor is responsible for building the fire body and mounting it to the chassis. The vendor is also responsible for supplying and mounting other equipment detailed in this specification. Aluminum BedA platform shall be constructed to serve as the base of the unit and for attachment of the tank, compartments, engine and pump. Platform shall be of appropriate thickness to safely and securely hold the weight of the entire unit. Platform shall be constructed of marine grade 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. Structural connections shall be welded or use minimum Grade 5 bolts and self-locking nuts. Decking shall be at least 0.125 inch marine grade aluminum, perimeter welded to the outer rail, and mounted on a frame capable of supporting the entire unit. Suction hose compartmentation shall run from the back of the unit 8.5’ toward the front. Four (4) individual aluminum tubes are preferred for storing three (3) 8’ sections of 2” suction hose and one (1) 8’ section of 1.5” suction hose. This entire suction hose storage areas will be capped with a single door, hinged at the bottom, with a D-style handle.The body will be secured to the truck chassis with two 5/8” U-bolts, two 3/8” aluminum plates welded to the rails and bolted to the truck frame rails midway along the body, and two steel ?” plates at the rear which will be bolted to both the body rails and frame rails. There will be a ?” x 3” die cut #70 durometer rubber isolation plate installed between the body and truck frame rails. A tapered aluminum apron plate will be mounted under the body at the rear to provide space for DOT lighting and the license plate. This apron should be large enough to include the appropriate lighting, but with maximum vehicle clearance and off-road maneuverability in mind. A lighted license plate holder will be installed centered in the rear of the apron. Platform Dimensions (maximum)Length: 108 inches, Width: 92 inchesPlatform shall be flat and square to 1/8 inch of tolerance CompartmentationAll storage compartment walls shall be constructed from 0.188 inch 5052-H32 aluminum diamond plate. All internal framework shall be constructed of 10 gauge or greater formed aluminum structural members. All compartments will have LED lighting (ROM, Whelen or FRC brand) positioned for maximum illumination of the interior without being in the way of equipment. Lighting will be controlled by magnetic door switches. All compartments shall be as large as possible, as determined by the design of the apparatus. The compartment locks shall all be keyed alike. Compartments will have sweep out style floors and shelves with black rubber matting (Dri-deck or turtle tile). Rubber drain plugs shall be provided in the compartment floors to allow for ease of cleaning. Compartment configuration and approximate sizes required are listed below:Transverse Compartment for Tool StorageImmediately behind the cab will be an enclosed compartment for tool and hose storage that will span the width of the fire body and will be accessible from both the driver’s and passenger’s side. The dimensions of this box will be 14”L (front of body to back) x 92”W x 40”H. This compartment will have 3 slide-out trays on tracks with quick release locks to keep them in place in the compartment. Trays should lock from both sides and have the ability to be accessed from both sides of the truck. Aluminum or polyethylene material is acceptable for the trays. The top tray and track should be mounted to allow for 12” of space above the tray to the top of the box. The middle tray should be mounted to allow for 10” of space above the tray. The bottom tray should be mounted on the bottom of the box. This compartment will have crane-wing style, flip-up doors that are hinged on the top side with a locking D handle and gas shocks. The door must open vertically to the extent that there is at least 7’ of clearance at any point around the compartment. Driver’s Side CompartmentsTo the rear of the transverse compartment on the driver’s side, there will be one box divided into two compartments with individual doors. The overall box dimensions are 94”L x 32”H x 24”D measured on the outside. Each compartment will be 47”L x 32”H x 24”D. Each compartment will have a ROM roll-up door. Pac Trac or similar brand mounting surface will be installed on the driver side rear compartment for mounting fittings and adapters. Compartments will each have one adjustable sweep out style shelf. Under the fire body deck and behind the tire on the driver’s side, there will be a compartment for storing roadside emergency equipment and maintenance tools. This compartment will be 20”L x 8”H x 16”D. The compartment will have a drop down door, hinged at the bottom, with a D-style handle. Passenger’s Side CompartmentsTo the rear of the transverse compartment on the passenger’s side, there will be one box divided into two compartments with individual doors. The overall box dimensions are 94”L x 32”H x 24”D measured on the outside. The front compartment will be 60”L x 32”H x 24”D. The rear compartment will be 34”L x 32”H x 24”D. The rear compartment will be used to store fuel so it needs to be vented on the side facing the tank. Each compartment will have a ROM roll-up door. Compartments will each have one adjustable sweep out style shelf. Enclosure of Pump AreaPGC wants the ability to enclose the pump/plumbing area during periods of inclement weather. This enclosure could be accomplished through use of a custom fit heavy-duty tractor trailer grade tarp or something more rigid, such as a roll up door. In either situation, it’s essential to have easy access to the plumbing and engine for maintenance and the exhaust can’t be trapped in the compartment. Vendor ideas are welcome and may be discussed with the PGC project manager in advance. Aluminum BasketsTwo aluminum baskets shall be mounted on the unit, one above each of the side boxes. These baskets will have approximate dimensions of 94”L x 8”H x 24”D. These baskets will be constructed from the same thickness aluminum as the compartments, but the sheeting is to be open weave style instead of a solid sheet. The sides of the baskets will flip down to allow access to equipment from the side of the truck. The flip down side will be hinged at the bottom with slip joint hinges to allow the side to open nearly 180o. The outer lip of the flip down side shall have a protective cover to prevent metal on metal contact with the compartments below when opened. Flip down sides will be secured in place with cotter pins at each end of the door. The driver’s side basket will be split in to two 47” sections, each with its own flip down side. This divide will provide opportunity for structural support for the basket. The passenger side basket will also be split in to two sections; one 60” and one 34”. 20” fire apparatus style horizontal grab handles shall be mounted on each tray at the rear of the truck. Fuel Storage TanksOne (1) 15 gallon fuel cell with a 5 gallon and 10 gallon split shall be mounted on top of the water tank to supply the pump engine (5 gallon gas) and drip torch fuel (10 gallon mix). Tank shall be metallic, powder coated with drain, and be supplied with appropriate fuel hoses and shut-offs to match the pump engine specified and drip torch application. The tanks must have independent fuel level gauges. These gauges will be mounted remotely on the pump panel.
