EXHIBIT I

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

A. Technical Specifications Before commencing work, it is recommended that the selected vendor inspect a fully constructed transport or shadow FFS personnel to observe the assembly process of a transport. This hands-on experience will allow the vendor to gain a better understanding of the process and address any questions they may have about the build process.

1. Fabrication:

a) Fabrication shall be completed according to FFS supplied CAD drawings.

b) All welds shall meet American Welding Standards (AWS).

c) All Vertical welds shall be completed “uphill”. All other welds shall be “push” welds

d) Welds shall not contain any porosity or discontinuity

e) All welds of the ¼”x 3” flat bar on the truck frame shall be no less than 2” in length, every foot on the inner and outer sides of the flat bar.

f) All weld splatter and slag shall be removed

g) Metal shall be from USA mills. Any other considerations on metal types

h) Welding wire shall be Lincoln 71 Elite .45 wire shielded gas or equivalent.

i) The beds shall be mounted in compliance with FMVSS 301-75 standards.

j) Blade stops will be fabricated by the vendor but not permanently mounted.

2. Undercoating/Painting

a) Sandblast entire carbon steel truck bed to a SSPC-SP7 to remove mill scale & welding slag.

b) Apply 2 coats of #81520 UNDERCOATING to underside of the frame & truck bed.

c) Apply 1 coat of primer & 1 finish coat with Florida Forest Service colors (GLCPC VAP-9XX/GL—VINYL ACRYLIC PRIMER-BEIGE and PPG

ALK6000/GL—ALK110 FOREST GREEN) to entire bed including ramps.

d) Finished paint will be free from drips, runs, thin spots, overspray onto cab or chassis.

3. Electrical

a) The vendor shall install red and black buss bars with 5/16” wire eyelet studs to attach wires, a 50-amp resettable breaker, and an ATO fuse block containing at least six fuses for additional electronic add-ons. This buss bar panel shall be made from aluminum bent with a 2” leg and a 19” upright by 16” wide to accommodate these pieces. The panel shall be mounted in the cab next to or just behind the driver seat.

b) The truck bed shall have the following marker lights and reflectors:

a. Four (4) amber ¾" led bullet marker lights (2 in the front corners and 2 in the rear corners of the bed just before the dovetail break).

b. Two (2) red ¾" led bullet marker lights on each of the rear outside corners of the dovetail and one on each corner of the ramp bumper between the outside corner and the ramp mounting bracket.

c. Three (3) ¾" led bullet marker lights spaced equally between the ramps on the bumper for use as ID lights. Additionally, just above the red marker lights on the bumper corners, there shall be a 2” round reflector needs to be mounted (center screw mount).

d. Four (4) 3” round amber reflectors placed on the side of the bed (2 behind the amber marker lights in the front and 2 in front of the marker lights in the rear corners).

e. The dovetail will have two (2) 3” red round reflectors in front of the red marker lights.

f. The ramps will have two (2) 4” red led tail/parking/turn signal lights, one on each side of the ramp (grommet mounted style lights). Each ramp will also have one

(1) led work light (4” six or nine led hard cased work light) used as a reverse light mounted in between the brake lights, bolt mounted style.

g. The ramps will also have a M6 series Linear Super-LED Surface Mount Color Outer Lens, mounted below the reverse light on each ramp.

c) The truck body shall have the following marker lights and reflectors:

a. Two (2) surface mounted led Duo red/white super-lite strobes under the front grill of the truck.

b. Two (2) led 4 Duo red/white strobes mounted just in front of the first chain cross on either side of the bed.

c. Two (2) led 4” Duo red/white strobes on the dovetail; midway but in front of the red 3” round reflector and in the middle of the 8” channel side.

d) The truck must have mounted on it a Legacy Light Bar 54" DUO Red / With Full Front

Flood, Sides and Rear Flood single bolt mount style. All the strobes will be routed into the truck cab for connection to the control head unit.

e) All light wiring will use 16-gauge wire and for the parking lights the color will be changed from black to brown. Additionally, 10-gauge red and black will be ran from the battery to the buss bar panel inside the truck.

f) The hydraulic pump shall have a 2/0 red wire ran from the pump on the inside of the frame in loom to a 400-amp limiter ann fast acting fuse secured to a 750-amp heavy duty fuse holder, which shall be bolted under the cab then to the battery. A 10-gauge wire containing a 20-amp fuse will be used to operate the water pump on the water tank. This wire shall be run from the battery to a toggle switch mounted either to the water tank hanger cage or to the bottom of the light bar brace at bed level. A 16-gauge/6 wire shall also be run the length of the frame to make all connection of the lights on the bed to the truck.

4. Hydraulic Plumbing for Ramps

a) Vendor shall install, plumb, and wire a hydraulic pump and rams to operate the ramps on each truck.

b) FFS shall provide the vendor the pumps and rams.

c) Vendor will supply the hoses, fluid, and wire. The ramps shall be operable independently of the truck running.

d) Each truck will have six (6) hydraulic hoses for the cylinders and pump:

a. Two (2) ⅜" hydraulic hose lines that are 6 ½' long with a 6Gx8MP end coupling and a 6Gx8MPX coupling. These run from the bottom connection on the cylinder to a hydraulic tee.

b. Two (2) ⅜" hydraulic hose lines 4 ½' long with 6Gx8MP and 6Gx8MPX fittings.

These run from the upper connection on the cylinder to a hydraulic tee.

c. Two (2) ⅜" hydraulic hose 5 ½' in length with 6x6 JIC female coupling and a 6Gx8MP coupling which go to the Hydraulic pump. These run from the upper connection on the cylinder to a hydraulic tee. The hydraulic tees should be #8 female swivel connections for easier hose installation.

5. Finish Work (water tank, toolboxes, striping, decaling):

a) The Central Shop will do the initial decaling of the cab of the truck prior to departure to maintain standards. Once the bed has been completed the vendor can decal the bedsides, dovetail, ramp sides and two on each ramp rear with red/white DOT tape, 6” white/12”red.

b) The water tank shall be fabricated from aluminum and has a SHURFLO PUMP mounted to the top of the tank with a 50’ heavy duty water hose and spray nozzle attached to it. The tank contains two ½" aluminum couplings built into the tank: one on the back of the tank for suction to the pump and one on the end for drainage. It also has a 2 ½" threaded coupling on the top for filling the tank and a 2 ½" threaded PVC cap and a vent in the cap. The tank is plumbed to the pump using ½" fittings and hose. The pump is operated by the toggle switch mentioned in the electrical section above. The tank is bolted on the four corners to the water tank hanging mount cage in front of the toolbox.

c) The aluminum underbody toolboxes, one on each side, are 18” deep by 18” tall by 48” wide, and secured to the toolbox hanging mount cage.

B. Location

Vendors shall pick up the chassis and deliver finished trucks to Lake City Central Shop:

137 SE Forestry Circle, Lake City, Fl. 32025

Vendor shall complete all work at their own facility. While the selected vendor has the FFS transports, the vehicles must be exercised at least every two weeks. This involves starting the trucks, idling them until they reach the proper operating temperature, and then driving them for approximately 30 minutes at speeds exceeding 30 miles per hour, or until the truck completes a regeneration cycle. This requirement will not apply to transports that are in the fabrication shop.

C. Materials Vendor will supply all materials to complete work including, but not limited to paint, primer, steel, hydraulic pumps, wiring, bus bars, hoses, rams, reflective striping and decaling.
