The tarp system operates front-to-back and must be supplied as complete installation kits individually packaged with instructions and all necessary materials for installation by Department personnel.

The specification mandates that tarps be constructed of waterproof material capable of withstanding hot asphalt temperatures ranging from 400 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit for summer use. The ground-level manual crank system must be mounted on the left front corner of the box and include bolt-on external body side mount springs, galvanized steel arms, offset elbows, and tension bow assembly. The system requires grommets installed approximately every two feet along each tarp side and must include a four-spring assembly constructed of aluminum or galvanized steel. Vendors must provide three manuals containing operation, adjustment, service information, and illustrated parts lists. The entire unit must be covered under warranty for at least one year, including all parts and labor for defects, with component manufacturer warranties extending warranty coverage if longer.
