ENGINEERING DRAWINGS

The evaluation of bids shall also be based on design, engineering reliability, and completeness of drawings. No Bidder's proposal shall be considered unless complete engineering drawings to these specifications are submitted with the request for proposal package. Failure to submit factory prepared blueprints with bid shall result in automatic rejection. Submission of "bid drawings" are in addition to "production drawings" which must be submitted for Wyoming Office of Homeland Security and RERT 1/Sheridan Fire Department approval prior to construction.

The drawings shall be completed only by the body manufacturer, and must be exactly to Wyoming Office of Homeland Security and RERT 1/Sheridan Fire Department specifications. Submission of "similar to" drawings or "statements referring to later submission of drawings after award of contract" shall be automatically rejected.

Since the request for proposal package will require extensive evaluation by Sheridan Fire Department and the Wyoming Office of Homeland Security, all Bidders must submit exactly the same engineering drawings at the same scale, on the same size paper. For easy comparison of drawings, they must be on a 17" x 11" sheet as follows:

VEHICLE ANGLE OF APPROACH PACKAGE

The angle of approach of the apparatus shall be a minimum of 8.00 degrees. NFPA1901 Angle of Approach definition:

“To determine the angle of approach, place a thin steel strip against the front of the tires where they touch the ground or stretch a tight string from one front tire to the other at the front where they touch the ground. Determine the lowest point (component or equipment) on the vehicle forward of the front tire that would make the smallest angle of approach. Hang a plumb bob from the lowest point and mark the point on the ground where the point of the plumb bob touches. Measure the vertical distance from the ground to the point where the plumb bob was hung (distance V). Measure the horizontal distance from the plumb bob point to the steel strip or string running from front tire to front tire (distance H). Divide the vertical distance by the horizontal distance. The ratio of V/H is the tangent of the angle of approach. If the ratio is known, the angle of approach can be determined from a table of trigonometric functions of angles or from a math calculator. The standard requires a minimum angle of approach of 8.00 degrees: since the tangent of 8.00 degrees is 0.1405, if V divided by H is 0.1405 or larger, the angle of approach is 8.00 degrees or greater.”
