DOTOrangeCapspec(1).xls

This is a specification document for truck work caps issued by the State of Maine Department of Transportation. The procurement requests the supply and installation of five DOT Orange work caps for 2011 Ford F250SD trucks with 8-foot beds and extended cabs in two-wheel drive configuration. The caps must be constructed in one of three available materials—fiberglass, aluminum, or galvanized steel—and feature cab-high styling with specific components including radius corners, reinforced roofs, clear glass windows for 360-degree visibility, recessed third brake lights, awning-style side doors with windows, barn-style rear double doors with windows, and 12-volt interior lighting. The vehicle specifications require the cap color to match Ford Paint Code W5684E (Omaha Orange), with paddle or T-handles featuring weather covers on all window locks. The scope of work includes pickup of vehicles at the Augusta location, cap installation, and delivery of completed vehicles back to CFM in Augusta.

Bidders must include all pickup, delivery, and installation costs in their pricing submissions. All electrical connections must be sealed with heat shrink tubing and protected with heavy-duty wire loom, with no Scotch-Lok style connectors permitted. The specification sheet provides spaces for bidders to enter unit costs and total costs for the five caps, identify the proposed construction material, and note estimated delivery timeframes. Bidders must submit their contact information and vendor comments on the specification form.
