STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

PROJECT NAME: Firefighting Apparatus Refurbishment Background: To remain in compliance with NFPA 1901(2016) we need to refurbish our 2004 Pierce Pumper Apparatus.

Scope: A complete refurbish and upgrade in accordance with NFPA 1912 (2016) of all applicable equipment on a 2004 Pierce Pumper Apparatus with a 1,500 GPM Pump Capacity with a 1,000-gallon booster tank. A fire apparatus is an emergency vehicle that must be relied on to transport fire fighters safely to and from an incident and to operate reliably and properly to support the mission of the fire department. A piece of fire apparatus that breaks down at any time during an emergency operation not only compromises the success of the operations but might jeopardize the safety of the fire fighters relying on that apparatus to support their role in the operations.
