This is a technical specification document for a Kohler 20kW generator unit related to the Maine Department of Transportation's anti-ice/de-icing dust control spray systems procurement. The document provides detailed specifications for a backup power generation component that would support the spray system operations. The specification outlines the generator's capacity, electrical output, and performance requirements necessary to ensure reliable operation of the self-contained spray systems mounted on 10-yard dump bodies. The generator specifications are integrated into the overall system design that must meet the department's requirements for applying 23% salt brine solution at rates up to 50 gallons per lane mile across multiple lanes at vehicle speeds up to 50 miles per hour. Bids for the complete spray system installation, including this power generation component, were due November 2, 2010.

The Kohler 20kW generator serves as a critical component within the comprehensive anti-icing and de-icing spray system package. This generator specification ensures that all electrical and power requirements for the spray system's pump, control systems, and associated equipment can be reliably met during field operations. The inclusion of this generator specification demonstrates the state's requirement for self-contained, independent power capability, eliminating dependency on external electrical sources. The successful bidder was required to provide the complete integrated system with all components meeting specifications, operator and maintenance training, comprehensive documentation, and a one-year warranty with certified service capability maintained within Maine.
