Written by GovTribe AI · Sep 4, 2026

This is a specification document for vehicle procurement issued by the State of North Carolina, specifically for Cleveland Community College and the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). The document details specifications for five distinct vehicle types: a 33,000 GVWR water truck for Cleveland Community College's Heavy Equipment Operator workforce training program; tandem axle trucks rated between 50,000-70,000 GVWR for NCDOT dump and snow removal operations; an over-the-road 90,000 POUND GCWR truck tractor for transporting bulk items on interstate highways; an on-road/off-road 90,000 POUND GCWR truck tractor for equipment hauling to construction job sites; and a 140,000 POUND GCWR heavy-duty truck tractor for transporting large construction equipment. Each vehicle specification includes detailed requirements for chassis configuration, engine performance, transmission, braking systems, suspension, electrical components, cab features, safety equipment, and specialized attachments or systems. The water truck specification requires a minimum 2,000-gallon capacity tank with spray systems and water cannon for dust suppression training; the tandem axle trucks require dump body capability and snow plow provisions; and the tractor specifications include detailed requirements for fifth wheel configuration, trailer connections, and hydraulic systems.

The specification document establishes comprehensive technical and performance requirements for vendors to meet, including minimum horsepower ratings, torque specifications, gradeability and startability performance at maximum GVWR, emissions compliance with EPA standards, and detailed component specifications from manufacturers such as Allison transmissions, Hendrickson suspensions, and Bendix or Meritor ABS systems. Vendors are required to provide performance analysis sheets demonstrating compliance with specified performance criteria and EPA emissions certificates with their bids. All vehicles must be delivered with completed 12-month Federal Highway Safety Inspection stickers and comply with FMVSS standards, OSHA requirements, and North Carolina state regulations. The document includes specific pricing lines for each vehicle type and requires vendors to complete detailed bid response forms indicating whether they can meet each specified requirement. No specific contract award dates, response deadlines, or pricing information is provided in this specification document.

Vendor:_______________________________________
Truck, Cab & Chassis, Diesel Engine Powered, Water Tank, 33,000 GVWR (August 2026)
General: Cleveland Community College (CCC) is soliciting offers for a water truck. CCC will typically use this water truck to support its Heavy Equipment Operator workforce training program. Applications include: Dust suppression-students will learn how to control water distribution from sprayers and a water cannon to suppress dust on active job sites. The second application will be used as a truck for CDL preparation. It will be driven for truck driver training and will be used to transport water to various locations in the training site. The third application will be as part of the CCC fleet of diesel-powered vehicles applicable to the College's planned Heavy Equipment Mechanic Training program. This specification is intended to describe a water truck to support the Heavy Equipment Operator and future workforce training programs.
