APPROVAL DRAWINGS

Two (2) sets of 2D engineering blueprints, CAD-drawn to scale specifically for this apparatus, shall be provided. The Purchaser shall review and approve these drawings prior to actual construction of the apparatus.

Both left and right side views, a rear view and a front view shall be provided. The blueprints shall also show the overall dimensions of the apparatus, proposed compartment sizes and features, booster tank position, and the location of all emergency warning and work lights that are to be provided by the body builder.

Digital full-color 3D renderings of the apparatus including the chassis shall also be provided.

ENGINEERING & FABRICATION

The modular body shall be designed using Computer Aided Design (CAD) and 3-D modeling programs. This process allows for a design review that ensures the strongest and most efficient body building possible. The use of this engineering system will ensure accuracy and repeatability for service parts in the event of accidental damage.

The body components shall be fabricated using Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) equipment to cut and bend the individual body parts.

Individual body panels shall have an interlocking "tab and slot" system where the tab in one panel is inserted into a slot in the adjacent panel. This ensures that the panels are assembled exactly as designed without the need for jigs.

NFPA 1900 COMPLIANCE

The completed apparatus shall meet or exceed all N.F.P.A. Pamphlet No. 1900 (latest edition) specifications and standards as relates to "Wildland Apparatus" except for loose equipment which shall be the responsibility of the end user.

PHOTO UPDATES

Production photos of the apparatus being built will be provided by the body builder. The photos will be taken every week as production allows and emailed to the Purchaser. These photos will allow the Purchaser to view the manufacturing process of the truck and possibly detect things that they may want changed earlier in the production process.
