About this file
This document contains the specifications for a new Type 1 Fire Engine required by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). The fire engine must meet minimum Type 1 requirements and include additional capabilities such as a 500-gallon water tank, a 1,500 GPM fire pump, specific hose and equipment minimums, safety features, and physical dimension constraints due to the unique LBNL site. This requirement is part of a pre-solicitation for a new Type 1 Fire Engine, Type 2 Hazmat Apparatus, and Type 6 Wildland Engine, issued by the Department of Energy. The solicitation number is RFI_RR_10-2024.

Physical dimensions, not to exceed:
• Maximum overall length of 35 feet
• Maximum overall height of 14 feet
• Maximum overall width of 100 inches
Due to the unique topography and tight turns required to navigate the LBNL site, turning performance must not exceed:
• Wall to Wall turning radius of 33 feet 6
• Curb to Curb turning radius of 30 feet
• Additionally, due to steep inclines at the LBNL site, the apparatus must have a combination of engine power, tire/wheel size and, rear axle gearing conducive to safe operations at rated maximum gross vehicle weight.
