1 SCOPE

The California Department of State Hospitals (DSH) is dedicated to safeguarding lives and property, enhancing emergency response capabilities, and strengthening community resilience across the state. In alignment with this mission, this specification outlines the general requirements for the complete construction of a 3,000-Gallon Water Tender designed to support a wide range of emergency scenarios.

This apparatus shall serve as a mobile water supply platform capable of reliable operation in diverse conditions—including wildland and structural firefighting, urban search and rescue, and disaster response. It shall perform effectively during incidents such as earthquakes, wildfires, major traffic collisions, and mass casualty events. The water tender shall be engineered for both on-highway and off-highway use, and shall operate dependably across varying altitudes, temperatures, and weather conditions.

Constructed from new materials and representing the most current production model, the apparatus shall meet all applicable Federal and State laws and regulations at the time of purchase. It is expected to deliver a minimum service life of 15 years, ensuring long-term value and operational readiness for DSH emergency response teams.
