PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 DESCRIPTION

A. Synopsis. Canyonlands National Park needs retrofitting of their existing 2017 Dodge 5500

4x4 crew cab diesel pickup truck, hence known as the Truck, into a search and rescue

(SAR) vehicle. The Truck is currently a cab and chassis with nothing installed on the rear chassis. The retrofit includes modifications to the cab and chassis for off road travel and emergency response. The work of this contract also includes construction and installation of a rear storage box, hence known as Rear Box, to haul SAR equipment. Both the Truck and Rear Box shall be outfitted with emergency lights and markings.

B. Period of Performance. The period of performance is six months from award of contract.

C. Warranty. Minimum one-year warranty on the Rear Box and modifications made to the

Truck. Any manufacturer warranties on equipment installed on the vehicle (lights, siren, winch, etc.…) will be passed on to the NPS.

D. Mission Requirements. This Truck will be used by the NPS SAR team at Arches and

Canyonlands National Parks to haul rescuers and equipment to the scene of wilderness SAR operations. The Truck is a 4-door crew cab. It will need to transport a driver and up to four rescuers (5 people total) in the cab. The Rear Box will be used to haul rescue equipment to the scene of an incident. This equipment includes a wheeled litter, ropes, medical equipment, helmets, camping equipment, extra food and water, batteries, radios, rescuer packs, and similar equipment. Most of the time the vehicle will be driving on paved roads, however, from time to time the vehicle will travel on rough dirt roads requiring high clearance four-wheel drive.

E. Qualifications. The Builder must have been in business for at least 3 years with experience building similar vehicles.
