Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

Statement of Work Department of Homeland Security (DHS)

1.0 PROJECT TITLE: Truck and Trailer Tires for Denton Mobile Emergency Response Support (MERS) Fleet

BACKGROUND

Vehicle tires are a major maintenance requirement for MERS Fleet of emergency response vehicles. MERS vehicle tires are exposed to extreme hazardous environments when deployed to disaster-stricken locations. This exposure drastically reduces the shelf life of the tires and must be replaced periodically. Tires are continually being inspected by maintenance technicians and vehicle operators. Tires mated for replacement are between eight to twelve years old and show significant cracks from dry rotting, and also due to extreme Texas heat.

Tires must be replaced to maintain the Denton MERS Fleet in a state of high readiness for disaster deployments.
