EV00017931_Addendum_for_Ford_Explorers_warning_lights.docx.pdf

This addendum document specifies the warning lights and emergency response equipment required for four mid-size Ford Explorer SUVs procured by the City of Boston Fire Department under Event EV00017931. The addendum details comprehensive aftermarket equipment installations including Whelen warning light systems, sirens, and related components. The specification requires one Whelen Core S siren with built-in low-frequency howler, one CV2V vehicle-to-vehicle sync module for coordinating lights and sirens, one CEM16 16-output module, and one C399SP OBD noninvasive reader for vehicle signal interface. Additional equipment includes a photocell light sensor, multiple configurations of warning lights mounted in various locations (grille, headlights, taillights, running boards, cargo windows, and rear hatch), dome lights for interior cargo and passenger areas, and under-mirror lights. All hardware, connectors, and wiring necessary for complete installation are included, with stranded wiring of appropriate American Wire Gauge sizes terminating in a central wiring system with no inline fuse holders. The warning lights and siren equipment carry a 10-year warranty.

The addendum establishes specific technical requirements for emergency warning equipment integration into the Ford Explorer platforms without providing separate pricing or funding information, as this document functions as a specification attachment to the primary procurement solicitation. All aftermarket equipment derives power from a single system to ensure coordinated operation of the warning and emergency response features. Installation standards require professional integration with factory vehicle systems, including interface with the vehicle's onboard diagnostic systems through the specified Whelen reader module. This specification ensures that each of the four vehicles delivered to the Boston Fire Department will have identical and fully integrated emergency lighting and siren capabilities meeting departmental operational requirements.
