About this file

This is a Questions and Answers document for a federal contract opportunity involving the design and build of a specialized trailer.

The trailer must be constructed with HD 1-1/4" extruded tongue and groove aluminum flooring with a smooth surface finish suitable for rolling gear and wheeled items; aluminum tread plate overlay is not acceptable. The structural components include extruded bedrail and roof rail with 1" x 2 1/2" wall posts spaced at 16" on-center, though 1" x 1 1/4" posts are acceptable based on load rating capabilities. The hitch assembly requires a ball coupler with a 2,500 lbs tongue load rating; an adjustable ball coupler is not necessary, and a fixed coupler meeting the load specification is acceptable. A 5KW generator with adequate housing for maintenance access must be included and installed on the trailer tongue, and all electrical outlets must have water covers. The electrical system includes 110V outlets above the workbench, two 110V outlets in rear corners, and through-wall shore power connections. Climate control consists of roof-mounted AC with heat capability; ducting is not required, though a second AC unit on the rear half of the trailer is an acceptable alternative to a single ducted system. The trailer requires a 65-gallon fresh water tank with exterior fill door, interior vent, and drain plug, equipped with a pump and valve for hose connection to rinse gear. The rear driver's side houses an air compressor unit mounted on a slide-out tray with a roll-up door opening measuring 48" wide by 66" tall and capable of supporting 1,000 lbs.
