This is a specification document for a service body with liftgate to be installed on a 2013 GMC Sierra 3500HD heavy-duty pickup truck for the State of Maine. The specification details a heavy-duty aluminum or fiberglass utility body with a 1,500-pound galvanized liftgate, designed with dimensions of 132 inches in length, 94 inches in width, and 42 inches in height. The body includes a steel understructure with a 3/16-inch aluminum floor, galvanized E-track system, recessed floor tie downs, stainless steel hardware throughout, and multiple exterior compartments on both street and curb sides featuring slide-out tool trays, shelves rated for 250-pound capacity, and rope-style LED lighting with door-activated switches.

The vehicle is to be picked up at the agency's Augusta location, have all items installed, and be returned to the ordering agency; all electrical connections must be sealed with heat shrink and protected with heavy-duty wire loom without Scotch-Lok connectors.

The specification requires exterior paint matching GM code 9W3 Wheatland Yellow to match the cab and chassis, with all interior compartments finished in white. Additional accessories include wheel chock holders in the fenders, two wheel chocks, a backup alarm, a seven-way RV-style trailer connector, and a spare tire mount. The document requests bidders to provide unit cost and total cost pricing along with estimated delivery time. Installation of the service body at the agency's location is to be included in the bid price, and bidders must provide contact information and vendor comments as part of their submission.
