About this file
This document describes the requirements for a new Type 2 Hazmat Apparatus to be used for hazardous materials response by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). The key requirements include seating for four personnel with communications equipment, on-board power generation, gas monitoring and detection capabilities, personal protective equipment, leak patching equipment, and technical reference data. The apparatus must also have specific safety features and physical dimensions not to exceed 35 feet length, 14 feet height, and 100 inches width, with a turning radius not exceeding 33 feet wall-to-wall and 30 feet curb-to-curb. This requirement is part of a pre-solicitation from the Department of Energy for a new Type 1 Fire Engine, Type 2 Hazmat Apparatus, and Type 6 Wildland Engine to support operations at the LBNL facility.

New Type 2 Hazmat Apparatus
A new Type 2 HAZMAT vehicle to be used for hazardous materials response as defined by California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services or equivalent. The new Type 2 Hazmat Apparatus shall meet the following requirements:
Seating for four personnel with appropriate communication equipment for internal and external communications.
On board power generation to support ongoing emergency equipment, lighting, and communications.
Monitoring and detection:
• 4 Gas monitoring
• Flammable gas monitoring
• Toxic gas monitoring
• Radiological monitoring
Personal Protective Equipment:
• Level A chemical protective ensembles
• Level B chemical protective ensembles
• High and low temperature gloves
Leak patching kits for tank trucks and piping.
Field testing equipment for Hazard Categorization efforts
Technical reference data to include
• Computer for chemical analysis and plume modeling
• Camera for scene characterization
• Air monitoring capability
Safety equipment:
• Vehicle Data Recorder capable of storing vehicle information to include time and date, engine parameters (e.g., engine RPM, throttle position), vehicle speed, seat belt buckle status, acceleration and deceleration velocities
• Intercom system for four positions inside cabin with radio integration for driver and officer, radio monitor and intercom for other occupants
• Back up camera system with alarm
• Siren system
• Airhorn system
• Flashing warning lights that conform to California Title 13
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
• 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.
