The State of Maine requested bids for four complete aluminum truck bodies for fire engines, with bids due March 25, 2013, and award decisions made on a best-value basis. Each aluminum body measures 116 inches long by 97 inches wide overall with 96 inches of usable load space and features an 8-inch interlocking extruded aluminum plank floor, 3-inch by 2-inch aluminum tubing crossmembers spaced 12 inches on center, and 6-inch by 2-inch aluminum tubing longsills. All lighting components must be LED, including stop, tail, marker, and backup lights with wiring routed within the tubing substructure. Each body requires a full-width rear apron, rubber mud flaps, a 97-decibel electric backup alarm, a 4-inch steel channel ICC bumper with 2-inch receiver tube, a 7-prong electrical trailer connection, two 4-inch PVC hose carriers, a sloped side-mount spare tire rack, removable access steps with handrails, and two custom aluminum treadplate toolboxes with aluminum hinges and stainless steel hardware. Delivery is required to Old Town, Maine, and the procurement is governed by the State of Maine General Terms and Conditions, which include a one-year warranty for defects following final acceptance and compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws.
