A.4 GENERAL INFORMATION AND REQUIREMENTS:
1. ACCESSORIES, REQUIRED AND OPTIONAL: Unless otherwise specified in this
Specification, all current vehicle manufacturer’s advertised standard features shall be provided.
Standard features not specifically stated shall not be interpreted as items that can be omitted.
Contractor shall provide OEM options when specified options are available as OEM. All OEM accessories and options shall be chassis-factory installed when available. If Customer approves aftermarket parts, aftermarket accessories shall be provided installed unless noted otherwise.
Installation must be per the manufacturer’s instructions and meet the requirements of this Specification. Where available, the Contractor shall provide the manufacturer’s current ordering codes or part numbers as they align with these features and options within these Specifications. When a specified option is only available as part of an option package or trim level upgrade, the Contractor may provide entire OEM installed option package/trim level upgrade, or the specified option may be dealer installed by a factory certified technician using all OEM parts. All options shall include installation cost in the bid price.
Bids on all non-OEM/after-market options on this contract shall be accompanied by the item’s manufacturer part/model/series number to be provided at the given price.
NOTE: All options shall be OEM, unless otherwise noted. Furthermore, adding some options to vehicles may result in a change in vehicle model (within a particular series).
2. BATTERIES: OEM standard batteries unless otherwise specified.
3. KEYS: At no additional cost, each vehicle will be delivered with three (3) ignition/door keys and, where available OEM, three (3) fobs/remote keyless entry devices. *This applies to ALL vehicles on state contract.*
4. COMPARABLY EQUIPPED VEHICLES: An attempt has been made to ensure that manufacturer’s models in each Series are furnished with comparable equipment (whether optional or standard as provided by the manufacturer). Any imbalance in the requirements for a listed series, i.e., an item that is an optional accessory for one brand and standard on another, should be called to the attention of the Statewide Procurement Division point of contact listed in Part A, A.11.4, immediately.
5. BODY/COMPONENT DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS: Respondent shall submit manufacturer’s current, regularly published literature on the body, toolbox, and other aftermarket components offered. Literature shall be sufficiently detailed to permit CPA or the Customer to determine if the items offered meet specified requirements.
• If the bodies or components are discontinued by the manufacturer or become otherwise unavailable, Contractor shall submit literature on proposed alternate for CPA or the Customer’s approval.
• Upon request, Respondent shall provide to CPA or the Customer written verification that the selected up-fitter has read, understands, and will comply with all Specification requirements, including delivery timelines. The verification shall be signed by a representative of the selected up-fitter. Contractor shall submit written verification from any additional or alternate up-fitter to be used under the contract.
6. SUBSTITUTIONS: No substitutions or cancellations will be permitted without prior written approval from CPA.
7. EQUIPMENT MOUNTING: No equipment mounted on vehicles or chassis shall, under any circumstances, be welded to the vehicle frame at any point between the front of the front spring hanger and the rear of the rear spring hanger. In addition, all holes for bolting must be drilled and not burned. Further, no holes shall be drilled in top or bottom flange of truck frame unless drilling is confined to the section behind the rearmost attachment of the rear spring hangers or for pre-formed factory-made frame rail bolt holes for subsequent body installation. Welding or torch cutting shall be confined to “boxing” the rear end of truck frame (as required for dump equipment to allow full dumping angle). All such work shall be confined to area behind rear spring hangers. Mounting strip between hoist sub-frame of dump body and chassis frame may have flame cut holes to countersunk rivets on truck frame. Chassis frame rivets shall not be removed or cut flush with frame for any reason. Any mounting of aftermarket bodies or equipment may require special wheelbase and cab/axle dimensions to achieve correct weight distribution. Dimensions will be verified by Customer, and aftermarket vendor to accommodate intended use of vehicle. All mounting of special after-market equipment shall meet manufacturer’s installation requirements, aftermarket equipment manufacturer’s requirements, and all state and federal standards.
• Corrective action or replacement due to damage to the vehicle or chassis from non-standard or negligent mounting of equipment shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. Mounting of aftermarket bodies or equipment to chassis may require special wheelbase and cab to axle dimensions to achieve correct weight distribution. If the Contractor discovers a need to change the ordered vehicle dimensions, the new dimension will be confirmed by Customer and CPA, and the purchase order adjusted to accommodate the intended use of vehicle.
OEM shall be responsible for the vehicle and shall ensure the vehicle conforms to all applicable Motor Vehicle Safety Standards per 49 CFR, Part 567.

It shall be securely fastened at sufficient intervals to prevent sagging and to ensure clearance of mechanical parts. Routing of the wiring through the cab, frame, body, compartment box, and the like shall be placed in such a manner so as not to interfere with normal operation and use, or present a safety hazard.
