Special Procurement for the purchase of Type 1 Fire Pumpers
FROM
John Karns. Fire Chief, karnsi@ashland.or.us
SUMNIARY
This "Contract-specific Special Procurement" will allow Ashland Fire & Rescue to directly award a
contract to Hughes Fire Equipment for the purchase of two Type 1 fire pumpers. These two fire
pumpers would become the front line pumpers for the City's two fire districts. The existing front line
pumpers are of a 1991 and 1993 vintage and have significant reliability problems producing a large
number of out-of-service days. Ashland Fire & Rescue maintains pumpers on a 20 year cycle. A Type
1 pumper is considered a structural fire fighting apparatus and is the primary vehicle dispatched in
each fire district on fire calls. An Invitation to Bid was released on January 22, 2013 and the City
received only one bid - from Hughes Fire Equipment - in response to the ITB. The bid submitted by
Hughes Fire Equipment exceeded the City's budget. Discretionary items were then deducted from the
bid to reduce the price.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
A Special Procurement is used for the purpose of seeking an exemption from the competitive bid
process, custom designing a contracting approach, or the direct selection or award of a public contract
or for a series of contracts. The attached and completed Special Procurement, Approval Request Form
is attached for your review and consideration.

Date: May 28, 2013
Subject: REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A SPECIAL PROCUREMENT
In accordance with ORS279B.085, this request for approval of a Special Procurement is being presented
to the City Council for approval. This written request for approval describes the proposed contracting
procedure and the goods or services or the class of goods or services to be acquired through the special
procurement and the'circumstances that justify the use of a special procurement under the standards set
forth ORS 279B.085(4).
1. Requesting Department Name: Fire Department
2. Department Contact Name: John Kams Fire Chief
3. Type of Request: Class Special Procurement X Contract-specific Special Procurement
4. Time Period Requested: From est.ARO 270 days To:
5. Total Estimated Cost: $1,152,727.00
6. Short title of the Procurement: Iype 1 Fire Pumpers
Supplies and/or Services or class of Supplies and/or Services to be acquired:
Type 1 Fire Pumper - (2) Each Type 1 fire pumpers are considered "structural" firefighting apparatus
and are the primary fire pumper used by Ashland Fire & Rescue.
7. Background and Proposed Contracting Procedure: Provide a description of what has been done
in the past and the proposed procedure. The Agency may, but is not required to, also include the
following types of documents: Notice/Advertising, Solicitation(s), Bid/Proposal Forms(s), Contract
Form(s); and any other documents or forms to be used in the proposed contracting procedure. Attach
additional sheets as needed.
Background: An Invitation to Bid was released on January 22, 2013 and the City received one bid
from Hughes Fire Equipment in response to the ITB The bid submitted by Hughes Fire Equipment
exceeded the City's budget Discretionary items were then deducted from the bid to reduce the price.
City staff is now recommending that a public contract for (2) two Type ] Fire Pumpers be directly
awarded to Hughes Fire Equipment
Form #9 - Special Procurement- Request for Approval, Page t of 3, 5/29/2013
The apparatus being replaced are of a 1991 and 1993 vintage. Fire pumpers are scheduled on a 20
year replacement cycle
Proposed procedure: The proposed sourcing method is direct award to Hughes Equipment for the
fire pumpers.
8. Justification for use of Special Procurement: Describe the circumstances thatjustify the use of a
Special Procurement. Attach relevant documentation.
Hughes Fire Equipment, the representative for Pierce Manufacturing, was the only respondent to the
invitation to bid for 1 or 2 Type 1 fire pumpers. The last two fire pumpers the City purchased were
built by Pierce Manufacturer with positive experience with both the initial product as well as after
sales service. After review of the current bid response the specifications and price were adiusted to
bring costs to the budgeted level. As Hughes was the only respondent to the invitation to bid and can
produce a product that meets the needs of the City and bid specifications, it is recommended to award
a special procurement to Hughes Equipment.
9. Findings to Satisfy the Required Standards: This proposed special procurement:
X (a) will be unlikely to encourage favoritism in the awarding of public contracts or to
substantially diminish competition for public contracts because:
Ashland Fire & Rescue has used Pierce fire pumpers for many years. Currently Pierce is producing a
pumper with a pump driver by a power-take-off from the main motor providing for excellent service
access as well as pump-and-roll capability with one motor.
(Please provide specific information that demonstrates how the proposed Special Procurement meets this requirement); and
X (b)(i) will result insubstantial cost savings to the contracting agency or to the public because:
Pierce fire pumpers have been consistently reliable during routine and emergency service as well as
having excellent support by manufacturer and dealer.
(Please provide the total estimate cost savings to be gained and the rationale for determining the cost savings); or
X (b)(H) will otherwise substantially promote the public interest in a manner that could not
practicably be realized by complying with the requirements of ORS 279B.055, 27913.060, 27913.065,
or 27913.070, or any rules adopted there under because:
Due to strong reliability and excellent support these two pumpers, the front line units for the two
districts in the City, with have a much lower "out-of-service" rate than the existing units.
(Please provide specific information that demonstrates how the proposed Special Procurement meets this requirement.)

TYPE 1, FIRE PUMPER
ADDENDUM #1
The purpose of this addendum is to provide answers to questions that have been received in response to
the ITB for a Type 1, Fire Pumper.
Question: Hose Bed, Under Hose Bed Compartment, Under Hose Bed Back Board
Compartment, Rear Compartment
On page 53 it is noted that the hose bed shall be 60" to 64 "from the ground and the
length of the bed shall be a minimum of 85 On page 54 the two under hose bed
compartments are required and as I interpret the language it would seem that these need
to incorporated into the body such that the hose bed is still only 60 to 64" above the
ground. The frame rails of this truck will be approximately 42" above the ground.
Assuming these compartments are 12" tall this would mean that the water tankportion
that extends towards the rear of the body will only be approximately 6 to 10" tall. The
tank manufacturer requires a minimum of 10" to allow for the construction of the tank.
Reducing the volume below the hose bed will also increase the depth of the tank that sits
forward of the hose bed which will impact the length of the hose bed. Finally, on page 59
a rear compartment has been requested. Given the fact that elsewhere in the specification
it was requested that the rear body be raised by 3" and in the sections noted above the
hose bed will be effectively lowered there is now no longer space for a rear compartment
that is remotely close to the height requested. This is further complicated by the
requirement for a roll up door on that compartment which requires a 6" header.
In a nutshell, all the requested components cannot coexist on this project. In order to
move forward, we need to know which of these requests are critical needs and which are
not so that we can attempt to provide a proposal that is buildable and most closely fits
your requirements
Answer: Bidder to determine dimensions that will allow for under bed and compartment dimensions
and still maintain appropriate hose bed capacity.
Question: Compartmentation, Passenger's Side
In the first paragraph `horizontal adjustable SCBA pull out blade mount' is requested on
two occasions. I am unsure as to what is actually being described and thus cannot
configure an appropriate option for our proposal. Please provide more detail of what is
needed. I fa photo of an existing unit or an OEM make and model number is available to
supplement the description it would be helpful.
Answer: Bidder to provide a Zico, or equivalent, SCBA adjustable bracket in this location.
ITB #2013-101, Type I Fire Pumper, February 14, 2013, Page 2 of 4
Question: The specification is of a significantly proprietary truck design that is made
by only (1) manufacturer. Some examples are:
o Pumping System is proprietary to this manufacturer
o Detroit Diesel motor is available only from this manufacturer
o Step Lighting, is only available from this manufacturer
o Body construction is proprietary to this manufacturer
Answer: The pump under cab design is specified as an example that will allow access and the ability
to service the pump easily as well as pump-and-roll capability. Detroit diesel motor is
specified as an example of the type and quality of motor that is utilized for this type of
vehicle. The step lights are also specified as an example of what is required for this type of
vehicle. The body design that is specified is also an example of a type of body design for
this vehicle.
The Invitation to Bid specifies in multiple locations that the use of brand names in the
specifications are utilized to describe the type and quality of item required. Bidders are not
limited to the brand specified, but may submit any brand of equivalent type and quality.
Please refer to the following locations for more information:
Invitation to Bid - Page 3, Item 5 and Page 8, Item S2
Exhibit A - Type 1, Fire Pumper Specifications - Page 1
Question: We believe that we can meet the intent of the hid with similar pumping functions and
capabilities, wheel base, storage and overall performance while saving the City money.
However with the amount of exceptions we will submit with a proposal (while still meeting
the intent of the specifications) leaves us some concern of how our proposal will be judged
given the proprietary nature ofthe specifications. Can you please shed some light into how
the proposal will be evaluated?
Answer: As stated on page 5 of the Invitation to Bid, the City shall award the contract to the lowest
responsible bidder whose bid substantially complies with the requirements and criteria set
forth in the Invitation to Bid and with all prescribed public procurement procedures and
requirements.
Question: Can we also request what the City has budgeted for this purchase?
Answer: There is no set budget at this time. The final contract recommendation will be subject to
the approval of the City Council.
Offer: We would offer to meet with you, your staff and anyone at the Fire Department to continue
our discussions. '
Reply: The City is facilitating a formal solicitation at this time and will not engage in
discussions regarding this ITB with individual bidders during the formal solicitation
process. Bidders may ask questions and/or request additional information or
clarifications to assist them with submitting a bid. The information being requested will
then be provided in the form of a written addendum to each prospective bidder to ensure

City of Ashland
Pierce Manufacturing, Inc. is pleased to submit a proposal to the City of Ashland for a Pierce@
multipurpose response vehicle per your request for quotation. The following paragraphs will
describe in detail the apparatus, construction methods, and equipment proposed. This proposal
will indicate size, type, model and make of components parts and equipment, providing proof of
compliance with each and every item (except where noted) in the departments advertised
specifications.
PIERCE MANUFACTURING was founded in 1913. Si nce then we have been building bodies
with one philosophy, "BUILD THE FINEST". Our skilled craftsmen take pride in their work, which
is reflected, in the final product. We have been building fire apparatus since the early "forties"
giving Pierce Manufacturing over 60 years of experience in the fire apparatus market. Pierce
Manufacturing has built and put into service more than 51,000 apparatus, including more than
27,000 on Pierce custom chassis designed and built specifically for fire and emergency
applications. Our Appleton, Wisconsin facility has over 757,000 total square feet of floor space
situated on approximately 97 acres of land. Our Bradenton, Florida facility has 300,000 square
feet of floor space situated on approximately 38 acres of land.
Our beliefs in high ethical standards are carried through in our commitments to all with whom
we do business and our ethical standards do not change. Honesty, Integrity, Accountability and
Citizenship are global tenets by which we all live and work. Consequently, we (nor our parent
company) engage in or have been convicted of price fixing, bid rigging, or collusion in any
domestic or international fire apparatus market.
Pierce has only one brand of fire apparatus "Pierce", ensuring you are receiving top of the line
product that meets your specification.
In accordance with the current addition of NFPA 1901standards, this proposal will specify
whether the fire department, manufacturer, or apparatus dealership will provide required loose
equipment.
GENERAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
To control quality, ensure compatibility, and provide a single source for service and warranty,
the custom cab, chassis, pump module and body will be entirely designed, assembled/welded
and painted in Pierce owned manufacturing facilities. This includes, but not limited to the cab
weldment, the pump house module assembly, the chassis assembly, the body and the electrical
system.
QUALITY AND WORKMANSHIP
Pierce has set the pace for quality and workmanship in the fire apparatus field. Our tradition of
building the highest quality units with craftsmen second to none has been the rule right from the
beginning and we demonstrate that ongoing commitment by: Ensuring all steel welding follows
American Welding Society D1.1-2004 recommendations for structural steel welding. All
aluminum welding follows American Welding society and ANSI D1.2-2003 requirements for
structural welding of aluminum. All sheet metal welding follows American welding Society B2.1-
2000 requirements for structural welding of sheet metal. Our flux core arc welding uses alloy
rods, type 7000 and is performed to American Welding Society standards A5.20-E70T1.
Furthermore, all employees classified as welders are tested and certified to meet the American
welding Society codes upon hire and every three (3) years thereafter. Pierce also employs and
American Welding Society certified welding inspector in plant during working hours to monitor
weld quality.
Pierce Manufacturing operates a Quality Management System under the requirements of ISO
9001. These standards sponsored by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

PAINT - BODY PAINTED TO MATCH CAB
The exterior custom cab and body painting procedure will consist of a seven (7) step finishing
process as follows:
1. Manual Surface Preparation - All exposed metal surfaces on the custom body will be
thoroughly cleaned and prepared for painting. Surfaces that will not be painted include all
chrome plated, polished stainless steel, anodized aluminum and bright aluminum tread plate.
Each imperfection on the exterior metal surface will be removed or filled and then sanded
smooth for a smooth appearance. AI I seams will be sealed before painting.
2. Chemical Cleaning and Treatment - The aluminum surfaces will be properly cleaned using a
4-phase, high pressure and high temperature acid etching system. All steel surfaces will be
properly treated using a 3-phase, high temperature, cleaning/phosphatiz ing system. Surfaces
are chemically cleaned to remove all dirt, oil, grease and metal oxides to ensure the subsequent
coatings bond well. An ultra-pure water final rinse of 25 parts per million solids or less, will be
applied to final rinse all metal surfaces at the conclusion of the metal treatment process. This
final rinse ensures all chemical residues are removed and that no minerals, (salts), from the
water dry onto the metal surface and remain under the primers and topcoats. These salts can
lead to blistering and under film corrosion.
3. Primer/Surfacer Coats - A minimum of two (2) mil dry, (.002), of two component urethane
primer/surfacer will be hand applied to the chem ically treated metal surfaces to provide a strong
corrosion protective base coat and to smooth out the surface. The primer is a high solids and
low VOC paint.
4. Hand Sanding to Ultra-Fine Finish - The primer/surfacer coat is lightly sanded with mild
abrasive paper to an ult ra-smooth finish. This hand finish process is critical to produce the
smooth mirror like finish in the topcoat.
5. Sealer Primer Coat - A two- (2) component sealer primer coat is applied over the sanded
primer to again build toward the final smooth finish. This layer of primer sealer also gives
additional corrosion protection.
6. Topcoat Paint - Two (2) coats of an automotive grade, two component acrylic urethane paint
are applied to provide the lasting beauty and durability. The acrylic urethane topcoat contains a
clear coat resin chemistry that creates the high gloss and depth of image. This type of topcoat
provides the best resistance against acid rain and other more common chemicals.
7. Clearcoat - Two (2) coats of an automotive grade two (2) component urethane will be applied.
Lap style doors will be clear coated to match the body. Roll-up doors will not be clear coated
and the standard roll-up door warranty will apply.
A cyclic corrosion test, (General Motors test GM-9540), of 40 cycles will be required before
making changes to the exterior coating process. Exterior coating systems, (excluding the
undercarriage components), must achieve a 1116 or less m aximum creep from the scribe for
aluminum and an 1/8 or less maximum creep from the scribe for galvanneal after 40 cycles in
the General Motors GM-9540 test.
Each batch of color topcoat, together with the finish painted vehicle, is tested for precise color
match. Visual color match will be checked following ASTM D-1729, (American Standard Testing
Methods), procedures using CIE, (International Commission on Illumination), D75 Northern
One (1) or Two (2) Dash CF Pumpers NH410 Page 100 of 107
City of Ashland
Daylight light source. Instrumental color match will follow ASMT D-2244 procedures with a
maximum delta E of 1.0 for whites, 1.4 for yellows, blues, greens and 1.5 for reds.
All removable items such as brackets, compartment doors, door hinges, trim, etc. will be
removed and painted separately to insure paint behind all mounted items. Body assemblies that
cannot be finish painted after assembly will be finish painted before assembly.
The cab will be two-tone, with the upper section painted White #10 (to match previous job
14201) along with a shield design on the cab face and lower section of the cab and body
painted Red #145 (to match previous job 14201).
PAINT - ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Contractor will meet or exceed all current State (his) regulations concerning paint oper ations.
Pollution control will include measures to protect the atmosphere, water and soil. Controls will
include the following conditions:
- Topcoats and primers will be chrome and lead free.
- Metal treatment chemicals will be chrome free. The wastewater generated in the metal
treatment process will be treated on-site to remove any other heavy metals.
- Particulate emission collection from sanding operations must have a 99.99% efficiency
factor.
- Particulate emissions from painting operations will be collected by a dry filter or water
wash process. If the dry filter means is used, it must have an efficiency rating of 98.00%.
Water wash systems will be 99.97% efficient.
- Water from water wash booths will be reused. Solids will be removed mechanically on a
continual basis to keep the water clean.
- Paint wastes are disposed of in an environmentally safe manner. They are used as fuel in
kilns used in the cement manufacturing process - thereby extracting energy from a waste
material.
- Empty metal paint containers will be cleaned, crushed and recycled to recover the metal.
- Solvents used in clean-u p operations will be collected, recycled on-site, or sent off-site for
distillation and returned for reuse. Residue from the distillation operation will be used as
fuel in off-site cement kilns.
Additionally, the finished apparatus will not be manufactured with or contain products that have
ozone depleting substances. C ontractor will, upon demand, present evidence that his
manufacturing facility meets the above conditions and that it is in compliance with his State EPA
rules and regulations.
PAINT CHASSIS FRAME ASSEMBLY
The chassis frame assembly will be painted black before the installation of the cab and body,
and before installation of the engine and transmission assembly, air brake lines, electrical wire
harnesses, etc. Components that are included with the chassis frame assembly will be painted
black are frame rails, cross members, axles, suspension, steering gear, fuel tank, body
substructure supports, miscellaneous mounting brackets, etc.
COMPARTMENT INTERIOR PAINT
The compartment interior will be painted with a gray spatter finish for ease of cleaning and to
make it easier to touch up scratches and nicks.

Exhibit A
Page 3, Delivery. Exception
The delivery engineer will not be providing a delivery training class upon delivery. The following
delivery orientation DVD will be provided in place of a training class:
An orientation video of the completed apparatus will be provided. The video will be of the
completed apparatus afterthe final inspection and after all work is complete at the factory. The
video will be of the actual subject unit. The video will portray all options related to the cab
interior and exterior, the pump operator's panel if applicable and the body interior and exterior.'
Very basic operation of these options may be discussed as they apply to the daily use by the
apparatus operator. In addition, some steps and components involved in a daily inspection by
the apparatus operator will be discussed. The video will NOT be intended to replace any training
that may be necessary for proper operation of any component on the apparatus. The content of
the video will be for an introduction only to an apparatus operator. Two copies of the completed
video will be provided within two weeks after the apparatus departs the factory and will be on
DVD.
Page 9. Wheelbase. Exception
Per our current calculations, the wheelbase will be 188.50". We hope the half inch difference
will be acceptable.
Page 9. Frame Reinforcement. Exception
Pierce is recommending a C shaped frame liner in lieu of the L shaped reinforcement. It is a
better fit for this chassis and body configuration and will provide for a higher rbm (4,391,869 vs.
3,976,502). We hope that will be acceptable.
Page 9, Front Non Drive Axle. Exception
Per an initial weight review by Pierce engineering, the front axle capacity will have to be
increased to 22,800#. This will provide reserve capacity per the axle and tire OEM load limits.
Please note that the estimated in-service weight will be very close to ODOT limit of 635# per
inch of tire width.
Exceptions and Clarifications Page 1 of 8
Page 10, Front Suspension. Exception
As noted in the axle section above, the weight capacity of the front suspension will need to be
increased to 22,800#.
Page 11. Front Tires, Exception
As noted in the axle section above, the front axle capacity has increased. 425/65R22.50
Goodyear G296 tires will have to be provided. Note that the estimated in-service weight will be
very close to the maximum allowable per ODOT fire service weight exemption formula. This
should be reviewed during preconstruction.
Page 11, Front Tires. Clarification
There is a discrepancy between the front tire specification that states the maximum speed of the
tire shall be 65 mph and the section below that states that the top speed of the vehicle is to be
68 mph. It is our belief that the latter is the intended preference. Please advise if this is
otherwise.
Page 11. Rear Axle, Exception
Pierce engineering has performed an initial weight review on this project and they indicate that
the rear axle load will exceed the capacity of the 24,000# rear axle option. For that reason, we
have provided a 31,000# rear axle.
Page 11, Rear Suspension. Exception
Pierce engineering has performed an initial weight review on this project and they indicate that
the rear axle load will exceed the capacity of the 31,000# rear axle option. For that reason, we
have provided a 27,000# rear axle and suspension.
Page 11, Rear Tires. Exception
Due to the change in the re ar axle capacity from 24,000# to 31,000# the tires had to change to
315/80R22.50. These will not only meet the OEM tire manufacturer's weight requirements but
also leave reserve capacity to meet the ODOT fire service weight exemption guidelines.
Page 12, Brakes, Exception
.The axle that has been requested and is being provided is Meritor brand. Meritor will only
provide it with its own brake system. Knorr-Bendix cannot be provided unless the axle brand is
changed to Bendix. We do not believe this was the intent and have provided the Mentor axle
with Meritor brakes.
Also note that due to the change to the large r rear axle, the width of the brakes has changed
from 7.00" to 8.63".
Page 15, Exhaust System Exception
Given the cab, engine and cooling system that has been requested, a vertical exhaust is not
physically possible. The cooling system sits directly above the pump house which is where the
vertical exhaust is normally routed. The exhaust cannot be moved further rearward due to
conflicts with the water tank and body. We have provided a horizontal exhaust as a result which
we hope will be acceptable.
Page 15, Radiator, Clarification
Our guess is that spell check changed the tank description in the last paragraph from deareation
to desecration. Hopefully we do not have to desecrate the tank.
Exceptions and Clarifications Page 2 of 8
Page 17, Transmission Shifter. Exception
Note that the transmission ratios on the Allison 4000 transmission are 3.51, 1.91, 1.43, 1.00,
.75, and .64 which deviates slightly from the specification. The ratios are not changeable on the
Allison 4000 which leads us to believe that something is amiss. Regardless we can only
provide the ratios as noted.
Page 17, Transmission Cooler. Exception
Pierce has recently changed the transmission cooler on certain configurations to a Modine unit.
The construction is slightly different than the one requested but it carries the same warranty
including the collateral damage warranty for the transmission. We hope this will be acceptable.
Page 17. Driveline. Exception
The higher torque of the DD-13 engine requires a more robust driveshaft than the Spicer 1710.
The heavier Spicer 1810 has been provided for this reason. We hope this will be acceptable.
Page 17. Steering Exception
Pierce recently has switched from the Vickers to the Eaton pump for the power steering to
reduce warranty issues. All other requirements have been met. We hope that the Eaton pump
will be acceptable.
Page 22. Doors, Clarification
In the cab door section it is noted that the doors are to have manual cranks for the windows but
on page 23 it specifically requires electric windows which do not come with a manual crank for
safety reasons. We believe the intent is for the electric lifts and have thus provided them.
Please advise if otherwise is required.
Page 23. Electric Cab Door Locks. Clarification
This section requires'two (4)' key FOBS to be provided. We have assumed that the intent is to
have four FOB'S which is what we have provided. Please advise if this is not correct.
Page 24. Storage Compartments. Exception
Compartments below the floor of the driver and passenger side crew steps have been
requested. A front inlet has also been requested. The plumbing for the front inlet is routed
through the space that the passenger side com partment is located. For this reason, we can
only provide the driver's side compartment. We hope this will be acceptable.

The seat base will be 15" deep instead of 17". The seat will also be a flip up base cushion. This
seat will also not have a 7.50° fixed recline angle but will be approximately 90°. These are
intended to insure that th a door opening is not i mpeded by this seat position.
Page 29. Forward Facing Passenger Side Outboard Seat, Exception
The seat base will be 15" deep instead of 17". The seat will also be a flip up base cushion.
Both are intended to insure that the door opening is not impeded by this seat position.
Page 49. Light Tower. Clarification
We have noted that a 12 kW diesel generator has been requested along with the idle reduction
technology (IRT) in addition to a 12 volt LED light tower. Please note that this light tower may
create too high a load for the two requested power converters. This will not be an issue if there
is not intent for the light mast to be operational w hen the chassis is in IRT mode. If that is not
the case, it would be best to consider a 120 or 240 volt light m ast. The cost will be similar but
the generator will be able to drive the mast more efficiently.
Page 50, Manual, Fire Apparatus, Clarification
Per Item 10. Manuals on page 10 the manuals are preferred format is a CD or DVD versus a
hard copy. Per this section it states that they are to be provided in hard copy. We believe the
intent is for a CD format and we have provided that option. PI ease advise if otherwise is
required.
Page 52. Body Height. Clarification
The requested body height is 89" which would be the recommended height for a cab with a flat
roof. Given the requested 10" raised roof Pierce suggests increasing the height to 92". Note
that the body height does not impact the unit cost. Aesthetically the taller body will look better
with the raised roof cab. Additionally, given the size of the 12 kW generator, the taller the body
the deeper the dunnage area which will allow for the generator to be more out of sight than
would be the case with a shorter body. Our recommendation would be to change the height to
92". Please advise.
Page 53, Hose Bed. Exception
There are conflicting requests between the storage compartments below the hose bed noted on
page 54 and this request. Based on the response to this question noted in Addendum #1, we
have provided a rear co mpartment that approximates what has been requested, the storage for
the stokes/back board/hose tray requested on page 54, a 750 gallon tank and provided a hose
bed that is as low as the aforementioned will allow. The hose bed as currently configured will
be approximately 79.25' to 81" from the ground. Do note that changes to the water tank
capacity.will not change the height of the hose bed it will however change the length of the hose
bed. With the 750 gallon tank, the hose bed will be approximately 92" long. A 500 gallon tank
will provide for a 104.5' hose bed. The two components that are driving the height of the hose
bed are the size of the rear compartment and the storage rack below.the hose bed. Making
changes to those components will allow the height to be reduced.
Page 54, Light Front of Hose Bed, Exception
A single light was requested (On Scene Night Stick 63" LED) for the front of the hose bed.
Pierce has determined that a single light in that location w ill not meet the NFPA 1901 lighting
requirement. For that reason we have provided two Pierce 63" LED strip lights, mounted them
up under the aluminum hose bed cover structure so that they more adequately illuminate the
entire hose bed as was the intent of NFPA 1901.
Exceptions and Clarifications Page 4 of 8
Q
Page 54, Light. Front of Hose Bed. Clarification
There was also a request that the I ights be controlled by a cup switch only in a location that is at
the front of the hose bed. NFPA requires that controls be no more than 62" off the ground so
we have provided the following:
• One (1) switch shall be located at the back of the apparatus no more than 62.00" from
ground height.
• One (1) switch shall be located near the water tank fill dome so that it is protected from
the hose.
Page 54. Under Hose Bed Compartments Clarification
The verbiage detailing the webbing restraint system seems to reflect a crosslay configuration
with its references to "front" and "back". Also the metal bar is a reference to a crosslay restraint
that is tall and narrow. We have provided the netting restraint that m ost closely matches this
request. Any final details can be ironed out during the preconstruction conference.
Page 55, Running Boards. Clarification
Even though the requested design does not require a running board, we would recommend a
running board step to make access for reconnecting the preconnects and accessing the upper
storage more accessible. See the option worksheet for cost details.
Page 57. Compartmentation, Driver's Side, Clarification
In the first paragraph, it states that two full depth adjustable roll out shelves will be provided and
then asks for another one. We have provided a total of three (3) but given the way this was
written it seems like that the third shelf may have been intended to be different. Please advise.
Page 60, Compartmentation, Rear. Exception
Please note that the rear door openin g of the compartment that has been requested will be
24.38" due to the roll up door header. All other dimensions will be met or exceeding. We hope
this will be acceptable.
Pape 62, Hatch Compartment Lighting, Exception
Pierce is now providing their own LED compartment lighting which mirrors the On Scene light
option at a significant cost savings. Given the track record of the product and the cost
advantage we have provided the Pierce option. We hope this will be acceptable.
Page 64, Extension Ladder. Exception
A 28' two section 900A Duo-Safety extension ladder is required and it is to be stored in
compartment that runs down the driver's side of the body and is accessed from the rear of the
body. The first challenge is that Duo-Safety does not make 900A 28' extension ladder. They do
make a 1200A. The second more critical issue is that a 28' two section ladder is 195.25" long
when closed. Elsewhere in the specification a 189" pumper body is required. This means that
the ladder will be 6.25" longer than the body. A three section 1225A 28' ladder w ill fit the length
of the body but then you will lose 4" of compartment depth and it encroaches on other
components as well. Given all these variables we.have provided a 24' Duo-Safety 900A two
section ladder. We hope this will be acceptable.
Page 65. Pike Pole. 8'. Exception
There is a requirement that pike pole storage be provided on the driver side of the body under
the ladder storage. Since the ladder storage essent ially sits directly above the air bottle storage
compartments there is not enough room to accommodate this request. Also confusing is that a
Exceptions and Clarifications Page 5 of 8
storage compartment for the same items is requested above the ladder storage which is a
standard option that uses dead space inboard of the side compartment roll up door assemblies.
The requested upper storage has been provided but the low er cannot be. We hope this is
acceptable.
Page 65. Pike Pole. 6". Exception
See pike pole issue above.
Page 65. Pike Pole Storage. Exception
Pike pole storage is called for under the ladder storage on th a passenger's side of the body.
Two things are problematic. The first is that no ladder storage is requested on the passenger's
side. The second is that as noted a bove there would not be room for it if there was ladder
storage due to space conflicts with the air bottle storage. We do provide standard long tool
(pike pole) storage in the inboard upp er corner of the passenger side body that uses dead
space inboard of the side compartment roll up door assemblies. This has been provided as well
as the tubes for two pike poles. We hope this will be acceptable.
Page 71, Inlet (Rear), Clarification
The location of the rear inlet has been requested on the passenger side o f the rear of the body.
The access ladder has also been requested for the passenger side as well. In all probability,
there will not be room for both unless the inlet is routed under the tail board which we do not
believe to be your intent. This is an item that will need to be addressed as a preconstruction
issue.
Page 71, Inlet (Front), Exception
All requirements for the front inlet can be provided except for the location. A driver's side front
inlet on this chassis is not possible due to a space conflict with the steering box. The front inlet
can and has been located on the passenger's si de of the bumper. We hope this will be
acceptable.
Page 73, Discharge Outlet (Rear). Exception
Two discharges are required to be routed to the rear of the hose bed. Given the requirements
for ultralow hose bed, rear inlet, access ladder, driver's side rear ladder storage, etc. our options
for locating the discharges at the rea r are limited. For this reason we have located them at the
front of the hose bed. This is something that can be revisited as a preconstruction discussion
item. We hope this will be acceptable.
Page 73, Elbows Rear Outlets. Exception
As noted below, we are only able to provide rear discharges to the front of the hose bed. For
this reason elbows would not be user friendly at that location. Should the above issue be
resolved, elbows will be.provided at no additional cost. We hope this will be acceptable.
Pape 77. Foam System, Discharges. Clarification
This section notes that the foam system is supposed to be plum bed to the hose ree I and the
deluge riser. Since no hose reel has been requested elsewhere in the specification, we are
assuming that this reference is in error. Regarding the delug e, we have plumbed the foam
system to the deluge but we want to note that plumbing the deluge through the f oam system will
limit flow through the deluge to approximately 750 gpm. This is regardless of whether it is
flowing foam or water only. The deluge can be plum bed with a water bypass circuit to allow a
higher flow when flowing water than when flowing foam. The cost to add that option is
approximately $2,022.
Exceptions and Clarifications Page 6 of 8
Page 87, Generator. Clarification
The generator requested output is 12kw. Please note that the anticipated load on t his system
between the IRT power converters and the high voltage connected loads w ould allow a 7.5kw
unit to be installed. There is a cost savings of $1,975 for the 7.5 kw unit. This unit is also
slightly shorter which will limit how far it extends above the top of the body.
Page 89. Generator Location, Exception
Because the chassis cooling system is located over the pump, the generator will have to be
located over the water tank. We hope this will be acceptable.
Page 89. Generator Oil D rain. Exception
This section requires that an oil drain be extended below the body which is common when the
generator is located above the pum p. As noted above, the generator will be located over the
water tank which prevents the drain from extending to below the chassis frame rails. A standard
drain as provided by the engine manufacturer will have to be provided with this package.
Page 89. Generator Exhaust. Exception
This section requires that the generator exhaust be extended up throug h the pump house and
assumes the diesel generator is installed in a body compartment. As noted above, the
generator will be located above the water tank. For this reason there is no reason to extend the
exhaust to the top of the truck when it is already located there. The standard exhaust as
provided with the generator package will be provided.
Page 90. Rear FMVSS Lighting. Exception
The Truck-Lite models 9186 and 26250 have been replaced by the P25. This LED light meets
all current FMVSS requirements. We hope this will be acceptable.
Page 91. Compartment Lighting Exception
Pierce LED compartment lighting has been provided for the hatch compartments and other
locations on the vehicle. This lighting mirrors the ROM V2 light option at a significant cost
savings and the added benefit of consistency. Given the track record of the product and the
cost advantage we have provided the P ierce option. We Hope this will be acceptable.
Page 95. Warning Lights (Rear and Side Upper Zones) Exception
The specification states in the last paragraph that the M series lights are to be mounted on
metal brackets. These metal brackets are used when a beacon style light is used. The M
series lights are to be surface mounted. We believe this is an inadvertent error. Please advi se
if otherwise.
Pages 96-98. Loose Equipment to be Included in Bid. Clarification
The equipment in this section will not be mounted/installed on the unit (with the exception of the
spanner holder assembly on page 98). It will be the responsibility of the customer to mount all of
this equipment.
Page 97. Loose Equipment to be Included in Bid. Exception
We are unable to get a price for an 18" pry bar. We have included the price for a 14" pry bar
instead.
Page 97, Loose Equipment to be Included in Bid. Exception
We included a 36"x 25' salvage cover in our bid price. This size is standard and significantly
cheaper than a custom size of 30" x 25'.
Exceptions and Clarifications Page 7 of 8
Q
Page 98, MDT Equipment, Line 3, Clarification
We were unable to location the part number for the DC power supply. We have included the
cost of an alternative part (Lind Input Car Adaptor 120 Watt 12-2 Volt CF-LNDDC120). We hope
this is acceptable.

Brake Performance - Custom Chassis
Pierce Manufacturing, Inc. certifies that the braking performance of Pierce Custom Chassis
meet all requirements of FMVSS 121 Air Brake Systems.
Pierce ensures compliance with this standard in two ways; by performing full vehicle
compliance tests on select vehicle configurations, and by obtaining axle and brake application
approvals from component suppliers.
Component Approval Process
The extreme variability of US fire apparatus design makes it impractical to perform full vehicle
testing on every truck configuration. Variations in axle and brake capacity, wheelbase, and
load distribution all affect braking performance. Compressed air used to power the brakes is
also used for air horns and many other ancillary functions. The truck manufacturing industry
recognizes this wide variation in truck configuration and has established an industry practice
where truck manufacturers submit detailed requests to the axle and brake manufacturers who
study and approve the proposed applications if they fall within established guidelines. These
guidelines are based on analysis and testing to ensure that the completed vehicle will meet the
required performance standards.
Pierce chassis engineers routinely submit and obtain approvals for any new configuration prior
to purchasing the components. These approvals are kept on file and organized to ensure that
we build only safe and compliant apparatus.
Vehicle Testing
In addition to the component approval process, Pierce performs a number of validation tests
on apparatus configurations when they vary significantly from our. established products. These
tests include:
Application and Release Timing Tests
FMVSS 121 has requirements for how fast the brakes must apply, and how fast they must
release. This testing is accomplished by instrumenting the brake treadle with a mechanical
switch that records when the drivers' foot is touching the treadle. Pressure transducers are
used to measure the pressure in the brake cylinders. This testing is performed on new chassis
designs, or when significant changes to brake system valves, hose sizes, or hose lengths.
CD0050 Brake Performance Custom Chassis 090404 t 4/5/2009
Air Tank Capacity
FMVSS 121 has requirements to ensure that there is sufficient air pressure reserve to operate
the brakes safely. This requirement is a ratio based on the number of braked axles and the air
brake cylinder volume. This is a mathematical analysis that is performed to calculate the
quantity and capacity of air tanks required on the apparatus.
Stopping Distance Testing
Pierce performs stopping distance tests per FMVSS 121
on significantly new configurations to validate that the
brakes, valves, tanks, and lines perform as a system to
meet the safety requirements. This is a series of tests
that begins with a complete brake burnishing procedure,
and ends with multiple full-capacity stops from a range of speeds. Instrumentation includes
the use of a calibrated fifth-wheel to ensure accurate measurement of speed and distance.
Tests are conducted on local airport runways as well as contracted facilities at the
Transportation Research Center in Ohio, and the Bosch Automotive Proving Grounds in
Indiana.
The following chart provides 60 mph brake test results for a variety of apparatus
configurations:

Parking Brake Performance
FMVSS 121 requires that every air-braked vehicle be capable of stopping and holding on a 20
percent grade in either direction. Tests are conducted on a calibrated grade. Grades for
testing are available at our Oshkosh Truck Corp. test facility.

Brake Performance - Custom Chassis
Pierce Manufacturing, Inc. certifies that the braking performance of Pierce Custom Chassis
meet all requirements of FMVSS 121 Air Brake Systems.
Pierce ensures compliance with this standard in two ways; by performing full vehicle
compliance tests on select vehicle configurations, and by obtaining axle and brake application
approvals from component suppliers.
Component Approval Process
The extreme variability of US fire apparatus design makes it impractical to perform full vehicle
testing on every truck configuration. Variations in axle and brake capacity, wheelbase, and
load distribution all affect braking performance. Compressed air used to power the brakes is
also used for air horns and many other ancillary functions. The truck manufacturing industry
recognizes this wide variation in truck configuration and has established an industry practice
where truck manufacturers submit detailed requests to the axle and brake manufacturers who
study and approve the proposed applications if they fall within established guidelines. These
guidelines are based on analysis and testing to ensure that the completed vehicle will meet the
required performance standards.
Pierce chassis engineers routinely submit and obtain approvals for any new configuration prior
to purchasing the components. These approvals are kept on file and organized to ensure that
we build only safe and compliant apparatus.
Vehicle Testing
In addition to the component approval process, Pierce performs a number of validation tests
on apparatus configurations when they vary significantly from our established products. These
tests include:
Application and Release Timing Tests
FMVSS 121 has requirements for how fast the brakes must apply, and how fast they must
release. This testing is accomplished by instrumenting the brake treadle with a mechanical
switch that records when the drivers' foot is touching the treadle. Pressure transducers are
used to measure the pressure in the brake cylinders. This testing is performed on new chassis
designs, or when significant changes to brake system valves, hose sizes, or hose lengths.
CD0050 Brake Performance Custom Chassis 090404 1 4/5/2009
Air Tank Capacity
FMVSS 121 has requirements to ensure that there is sufficient air pressure reserve to operate
the brakes safely. This requirement is a ratio based on the number of braked axles and the air
brake cylinder volume. This is a mathematical analysis that is performed to calculate the
quantity and capacity of air tanks required on the apparatus.
Stopping Distance Testing
Pierce, performs stopping distance tests per FMVSS 121
on significantly new configurations to validate that the
brakes, valves, tanks, and lines perform as a system to
meet the safety requirements. This is a series of tests
that begins with a complete brake burnishing procedure,
and ends with multiple full-capacity stops from a range of speeds. Instrumentation includes
the use of a calibrated fifth-wheel to ensure accurate measurement of speed and distance.
Tests are conducted on local airport runways as well as contracted facilities at the
Transportation Research Center in Ohio, and the Bosch Automotive Proving Grounds in
Indiana.
The following chart provides 60 mph brake test results for a. variety of apparatus

Parking Brake Performance
FMVSS 121 requires that every air-braked vehicle be capable of stopping and holding on a 20
percent grade in either direction. Tests are conducted on a calibrated grade. Grades for
testing are available at our Oshkosh Truck Corp. test facility.

Pierce Underfloor Body Support System
A pumper, due to severe loading requirements, necessitates a method of body and
compartment support suitable for the intended load. Pierce engineers have designed a
substructure support we refer to as an Underfloor Body Support System.
The compartments of many O.E.M.s - -
simply "hang" from the body outside a
of the frame in an unsupported
fashion, providing little to no direct
floor support to the frame. The
Pierce underfloor support system is
engineered to provide support under
the very place heavy loads are
typically placed, the compartment
floors, allowing Pierce to provide
extremely high compartment floor
ratings.
The backbone of this underbody support
system is the chassis frame, which is the
strongest component of the vehicle and is
designed for supporting maximum loads. From
here, 3/8" thick, 80,000-psi yield, lateral frame
supports extend out from the chassis frame

v.: the lateral supports to create a "floating
substructure that cradles the compartment
floor and results ratings of up to 800 Ibs per
lower compartment.
The lateral frame supports are separated from the
floating substructure with neoprene elastomer -
isolators. These isolators reduce road shock and
vibration from being transmitted to the body. The
isolators are located outboard of the frame rails at .7.

Ancillary equipment can also have an affect on body life. \
Stresses can be Induced by aerial stabilizers, side mount

option mix required an all-encompassing test plan to cover \
the complete range of market offerings. The project goal \
was to validate the integrity of the new body design in
support of a 10-year body structural warranty.
Custom fire apparatus production volumes are much lower
than class B trucks or automobiles. This means that the cost
of testing cannot be amortized over large production runs as
it can in higher production volume markets. The fire
apparatus test engineer must therefore apply a great degree
of ingenuity.to produce credible test results without the
luxury of an unlimited budget Figure 1

Stainless Steel Piping Materials
Some firetruck manufacturers are trying to fool customers into believing the schedule 40
stainless steel piping used by them is superior to the stainless steel piping being used
by Pierce. Below are facts that will illustrate why the piping used by Pierce is not only
superior, but is selected with flow performance in mind.
Pierce Manufacturing utilizes schedule 10 (commonly referred to as 10S) piping in
welded and formed piping applications. Schedule 40 piping is used in applications that
require threaded pipe. Pierce Mfg preference is to use welded or formed 10S pipe in as
many applications as possible to reduce pressure drop and leaks.
Some O.E.M.s use only threaded schedule 40 (commonly referred to as 40S) stainless
pipe and claim it is better because it is thicker.
The Facts:
1. When threads are cut on a pipe, the wall thickness is reduced to 1/2 its original
thickness. This is why 40S pipe starts thicker. The thickness of a threaded 40S
2.5" pipe is .101" at the root diameter (its thinnest and weakest point) of the
thread.
2. The thickness of 10S piping used by Pierce is .120", clearly thicker than
threaded 40S pipe.
3. The 10S piping also provides the following additional features:
a. Larger inside diameter
b. More flow
c. Less pressure drop
4. The 10S piping Pierce Mfg
utilizes is a 304L stainless
which is a low carbon stainless I~
steel and it thus more resistant
to corrosion.
5. The 10S pipe allows the use of
formed piping (eliminating most
joints) and/or an elbow called a
"belled end" fitting. This fitting
allows the pipe to slip into the
end of the fitting to.be welded
together. This joint is a
stronger joint and is prone to
less leaking over time than the
threaded pipefittings used by
others.

Pierce Quality Management System Overview
Pierce Manufacturing is determined in its pursuit of quality. This extends to our documentation,
implementation, maintenance and continual improvement of our quality management system in
accordance with the requirements of the ANSI/ISO/ASQ Q9001:2000 standard. Pierce's Quality System
governs the design, manufacture, and service of commercial and specialized fire apparatus. All Pierce
personnel who establish, document, implement, and maintain work affecting quality are responsible for
managing and improving the quality management system.
To implement the quality system Pierce Manufacturing has:
• Identified the processes needed for the quality management system and their application throughout
the corporation.
• Determined the sequence and interaction of these processes.
• Determined criteria and methods required to ensure the effective operation and control of these
processes.
• Ensured the availability of resources and control of information necessary to support the operation and
monitoring of these processes.
• Measured, monitored, and analyzed these processes.
• Implemented actions necessary to achieve planned results and continual improvement.
• Managed these processes in accordance with the ISO 9001 standard.
ISO Certification
In 1998, Pierce Manufacturing was the first single-source manufacturer of custom fire apparatus in North
America to achieve certification to ISO 9001:1994. It then became the first fire apparatus manufacturer to
become certified to ISO 9001:2000 in 2002. Pierce's ISO 9001 certification demonstrates our commitment
to quality. Certification gives our customers added confidence that they are buying from a manufacturer
dedicated to quality products and services. Plus, they know that Pierce's Quality System stands up to
independent, third party verification. Surveillance audits are conducted semi-annually by ASS Quality
Evaluations to verify continued system compliance, effectiveness and improvement. In 2004, Pierce
added two additional facilities to the scope of its ISO 9001 certification: the downtown Appleton facility,
and the Weyauwega Refurbishment Center. In 2005, the Southeast Regional Service Center in
Bradenton, Florida was also added to our certification.
Quality Policy
The Pierce Quality Policy is "The quality of our products and services is our number one priority. It is our
policy to continually improve customer satisfaction, and to deliver defect-free products, with service
second to none." The quality policy is posted throughout the organization. Each employee is expected to
know the importance of the quality policy and how they contribute to it.
Document Control
Documents required for the quality system are controlled to assure the latest revision is being used. A
quality manual has been established and is maintained. The identification, storage, retrieval, protection,
retention time and disposition of quality records is controlled through documented procedures and
retention schedules.
Management Review
Senior management reviews the quality management system at management review meetings to ensure
the system is effectively satisfying the requirements of the quality policy, goals and the ISO 9001:2000
standard. If there are any deficiencies in the quality system, appropriate actions are taken or an
implementation plan initiated.
Quality Goals
Measurable quality objectives are established and tracked at relevant levels within the organization.
Individual department goals are set in alignment with the organizational goals and corporate goals. Goals
are posted throughout the organization. If a goal is not being met or exhibiting continual improvement, an
action plan is developed to ensure the goal is met in the future.

Corrective and Preventive Action
Pierce Manufacturing is committed to a culture of continuous improvement and implements a closed-loop,
corrective and preventive action process. Action is taken to eliminate the cause of nonconformities in
order to prevent recurrence. Root cause analysis using Continuous Improvement Requests (CIRs) is used
to address repetitive, significant or safety-related issues. An electronic CIR database has been
established to track corrective action records. The CIR system is also used to record preventive actions
taken to eliminate the causes of potential nonconformities to prevent their occurrence. CIRs are not
closed until the initiator is able to verify the effectiveness of the implemented plan.
Internal Auditing
Pierce utilizes a cross-functional team of internal auditors who perform quality system audits and process
audits each month to ensure conformance to documented procedures and requirements. Audits are
conducted by sampling the selected process, specification, procedure or product, equipment, facilities,
tools, personnel, and related documentation. CIRs are issued for any nonconformances noted during an
internal audit.
Contract Review
Top management at Pierce Manufacturing ensures that customer needs and expectations are determined
and fulfilled with the aim of enhancing customer satisfaction. Pierce reviews each contract for accuracy
before acceptance and will not knowingly.accept a contract or order that cannot be fulfilled. The review
ensures that the customer's requirements are defined and understood, any requirement questions are
resolved and Pierce has the capability to meet the requirements.
Customer Satisfaction
Customer Satisfaction Surveys are used to monitor our customer's perception as to whether we have met
their requirements. Dealer Satisfaction is also monitored via a survey. Any issues identified in the surveys
are addressed with the appropriate department, the customer, and/or sales representative. The top areas
of dissatisfaction are charted and reviewed for continual improvement during management review.
Supplier Quality
The Quality System of each new supplier is assessed via a comprehensive self-evaluation/audit modeled
on ISO 9001 requirements. Quality and delivery performance of each approved supplier is continually
monitored through our supplier rating system. Suppliers that do not meet our requirements are charted,
monitored, and reviewed monthly for corrective action and continual improvements. Continuous
Improvement Requests are issued to poor performers. Suppliers are also brought in-house for face-to-
face problem. resolution and proposed action plans. On-site supplier audits may be conducted as well.
The top ten nonconforming parts by dollars and occurrences as well as the top 10 worst suppliers by
dollars and occurrences are evaluated each month. Both internal rejects and warranty data is reviewed.
Cost of Quality
The costs of rework, scrap and warranty are tracked and reviewed in monthly meetings. Areas that are
over budget must report on root cause and corrective action.
Inspection/Control of Nonconforming Product
First article inspection may be required on any new or revised purchased part. Incoming product requiring
inspection is not released until it has been verified as conforming to specified requirements to ensure only
acceptable product is used in production. Pierce Manufacturing ensures that product which does not
conform to product requirements is identified and controlled to prevent its unintended use or delivery.
Nonconforming product is clearly identified and moved to a segregated area. The Quality department
tracks the inventory value and average number of days items spend in the nonconforming material area.
The goal is to disposition items as soon as possible in order to prevent part shortages.
Production Control and Testing
In order to consistently produce high quality fire and emergency apparatus, Pierce has always strived to
make our complex processes repeatable, predictable, and measurable. Pierce Manufacturing plans and
carries out production and service under controlled conditions. Performance and accuracy of equipment is
continuously monitored through scheduled preventive maintenance and calibration programs. Product is
clearly identified through all stages of receiving, storage, production and test. A shop order specifies all
production operations and processes including inspection. It also references drawings, materials and
Page 2 of 3
11/21/07
instructions. There are quality checklists'with sign-offs for each operation. Each sign-off indicates the work
has been completed per the work instructions and is acceptable. Inspection and test criteria for each area
are determined by product function, fit, and finish. All pumpers and aerials are verified through
independent, third party testing.
Final Production Evaluation
Prior to delivery, each truck goes through a road test and final product evaluation (FPE). FPE is a
complete review of the truck's function, fit and finish and is conducted by qualified inspection personnel.
During FPE, the entire truck is gone over with a fine-tooth comb including the cab, body, pump, generator,
emergency lighting and aerial devices. Customer inspection is also often performed prior to delivery. No
product is released to the customer until all final inspection and testing are complete to show evidence of
conformance to specified requirements, all issues are resolved and all truck records are available and
authorized.
Finished Product Quality Audits:
Delivering superior quality is a growth strategy of the Oshkosh Truck organization. We know if we want to
stay #1, we need to continually improve faster than our competition. One approach Pierce as taken in our
effort to deliver superior quality is the implementation of a weekly Finished Product Quality Audit (FPQA).
A cross-functional team, acting as the "Eyes of the Customer", performs an FPQA on one "ready for pick-
up" truck per week. Each vehicle is given a final score based the severity of the findings. Pictures are
taken of each defect and put into a presentation that is shown at Continuous Improvement Friday. The
presentations are also shown to hundreds of hourly employees at team meetings. This takes the "Eyes of
the Customer" all the way through the organization. Actions items are assigned, tracked and followed-up
on weekly.

Pierce's Commitment to Safety
General Safety Compliance Measures
NFPA Compliance
The NFPA guidelines have set minimum standards for the industry that Pierce meets and
exceeds. These guidelines cover everything from certified stepping surfaces to minimum
lighting standards. These rules are developed to protect both the fire fighter and the
public.
3`d Party Testing
Every Pierce fire apparatus is tested and certified bumper to bumper by an independent
P party testing agency to meet and exceed all NFPA rules. This insures that all NFPA
requirements are met for every truck that leaves a Pierce factory. This certification not
only helps insure safety but also helps limit future customer liability.
Vendor Certifications
All major components such as engines, transmissions, axles, brakes, steering assemblies,
windshield wipers systems, air conditioning systems, etc. are certified by the
manufacturer for the specific installation and specific chassis. This is done to insure that
not only do these critical systems perform properly on their own but also they function
correctly with all other systems on the chassis.
Apparatus Based Safety Compliance Measures
Pierce has been the innovation leader in the fire truck industry for quite some time with
their greatest focus on the safety innovations. Following are some of the things that
Pierce either offers as standard or offers as options. Please see the "Safety Systems"
brochure that further explains these options.
Cab Crash Integrity - As noted in the support material provided in this proposal, the
ImpelNelocity chassis meets and exceeds the required ECU crash safety requirements as
set forth in the proposal request. In addition, this chassis also exceeds the far more
stringent SAE standards. Refer to the crash certification support material provided in this
proposal for specific details.
Visibility - The Impel/Velocity cab has been designed from the start to provide the best
visibility possible.
• Flat windshield eliminates the typical distortion that occurs at the corners of the
typical curved windshield.
• Wiper system -Three wiper blades clear 86% of the windshield to provide the
best wet weather visibility possible.
• FMVSS 111 Mirror standard - Pierce's new 111 mirrors exceed the more
stringent visibility standards. These mirrors allow the driver to see the ground
across the entire front of the vehicle including the bumper.
Cut Away Door Windows - the contoured shape of the front cab side windows
dramatically improves visibility to the ground at the front corners of the vehicle.
Frontal Crash Air Bags - Front crash air bags are not new technology but are new to
the fire industry. Pierce is the first builder to offer them in their Impel, Velocity, Arrow
XT and Quantum chassis.
Side Roll Protection - provides air curtains/cushions in the front and rear seat positions
to protect occupants in severe side impact/roll over situations. This option is available on
the Impel, Velocity, Arrow XT and Quantum chassis.
TAK-4 Independent Front Suspension - Independent front suspension is proven to
offer superior braking and accident avoidance over any style of straight front axle. It
offers the additional advantage of lower maintenance costs and better ride quality when
compared with any other type of front axle system available. This is available on the
Impel, Velocity, Arrow XT and Quantum chassis.
Frame Rails - The stronger the frame rails the more stable the chassis. The 13 3/8"
frame rails used on the Impel, Velocity, Arrow XT, and Quantum chassis are the
strongest in the industry. This extra stiffness improves stability of the vehicle in accident
avoidance maneuvers.
Seat Belt Warning System - Seat belt use is a time proven technology for protecting
vehicle occupants. Our seat belt warning system alerts the driver when a seat is occupied
but the seat belt is not in use and is standard on the Impel, Velocity and Quantum chassis.
Electronic Stability Control - ESC enhances directional and roll stability of the vehicle
during evasive maneuvers and in low traction situations.
Tire Protection System - provides options for tire pressure monitoring to alert an
operator when a low pressure problem occurs as well as a safety band that prevents the
tire from coming off the wheel during a blowout. The safety band dramatically improves
maneuverability when a blow out occurs.
VLH Caps - All discharge caps include Pierce's patented cap threaded that vents any
residual pressure as a cap is being removed which reduces the risk of injury.
Luminescent Folding Steps/Rung Covers - Pierce provides all of their folding steps
and ladder rung covers with an NFPA compliant stepping surface that will also be
luminescent in low light situations. This makes it much easier to see a step in the dark.
Camera Systems - Pierce offers a variety of camera systems to aid in the visibility of the
area around the sides and rear of the vehicle.
Collision Avoidance Systems - provide warning before an accident occurs.

During the selling process you may experience questions about the type of aluminum our product is built with.
Here we will discuss the difference between 5052-1132 aluminum and 3003-H14 aluminum. Pierce manufacturing
utilizes the 5052-H32 aluminum and here are a few reasons why:
➢ Strength: 5052-1-132 has a Tensile Strength of 34-41,000 psi; 3003-H14 only has 20-26,000 psi. Almost
50% greater
➢ Strength: 5052-1-132 has a Yield Strength of 26,000 psi compared to 3003-1114 with 17,000 psi. Almost
50% greater
➢ Heat Affected Zone: When welded the 5052-1-132 has higher Endurance Load Limits, 52% greater than
that of the 3003-H14
➢ It has a high fatigue strength and is a good choice for structures subjected to excessive vibration.
➢ Lighter weight
➢ Excellent corrosion resistance
➢ The greater strength is derived from the composition of the metal. The effect of alloying elements
increased the strength based on the elements added.
a. 5052-H32: Magnesium is the major alloying element
b. 3003-H14: Manganese is the major alloying element
Characteristics of alloys:
5052 grade aluminum is one of the higher strength non-heat-treatable alloys. It has a high fatigue strength and is
a good choice for structures subjected to excessive vibration. The alloy has excellent corrosion resistance,
particularly in marine atmospheres. The formability of the grade is excellent and in the annealed condition it offers
higher strengths than 1100 or 3003 grades.
Typical Applications:
5052 grade aluminum is often used in high strength sheet metal work, marine components, appliances, fuel and
oil tubing.
There are other factors that to take into consideration when choosing a material.
• Stiffness or deflection under load
• Load carrying ability which not only involves the raw material strength, but the welded joint as well
• Fatigue resistance, the ability to withstand cyclic stresses for the life of the product
• Weight of the material
• Ease of manufacturing or the ability to weld, machine and form the material
• Cost

Aluminum Strength Characteristics
In evaluating and selecting materials for apparatus designs, the following factors should be considered
before determining which material is best for the application. This document explains standards of tensile
strength, yield strength, Brinell hardness and endurance limit of aluminum supplied to the Fire and
Emergency industry. Here are the definitions:
Tensile strength: Tensile strength measures the force required to pull something such as rope, wire, or a
structural beam to the point where it breaks.
Yield strength: The maximum stress a material can bear without tearing apart. This definition relates to a
material's ability to be pulled and stretched without breaking.
Brinell hardness: The hardness of a metal or alloy measured by hydraulically pressing a hard ball under a
standard load into the specimen. This hardness rating is an indicator of the materials ability to resist surface
intrusions such as gouges and scratches.
Endurance limit of aluminum: Fatigue limit, endurance limit, and fatigue strength are all expressions used
to describe a property of materials; the amplitude (or range) of cyclic stress that can be applied to the material
without causing fatigue failure. Ferrous alloys and titanium alloys have a distinct limit, an amplitude below which
there appears to be no number of cycles that will cause failure. Other structural metals such as aluminum and
copper do not have a distinct limit and will eventually fail even from small stress amplitudes. In these cases, a
number of cycles (usually 107 ) are chosen to represent the fatigue life of the material.
Pierce Manufacturing utilizes 1/8" (.125"), 5052-1-132 aluminum for the, construction of its cabs and bodies
(green).
Other fire apparatus manufacturers utilize 3/16" (.188"), 3003-1-114 aluminum for the construction of its cabs
and bodies (red).

As shown in the above chart endurance limits are greater as well as a significant increase in endurance limits
within the "Heat Affect Zone (HAZ)" in the .125' 5052-H32 compared to the .188" 3003-H14 aluminum.
These higher limits are due to the composition of the material. The .125" 5052-H32 is a lighter stronger super
alloy and demonstrates corrosion resistance properties.
In high-purity form, aluminum is soft and ductile. Most commercial uses, however, require greater strength
than pure aluminum provides. This is achieved in aluminum first by the addition of other elements to produce
various alloys, which singly or in combination impart strength to the metal. Further strengthening is possible by
means which classify the alloys roughly into two categories, non-heat-treatable and heat-treatable.
3003-H14 - Manganese is the major alloying element
5052-1132 - Magnesium is the major alloying element
Magnesium is one of the most effective and widely used alloying elements for aluminum. When it is used as the
major alloying element or with manganese, the result is a moderate to high strength non-heat-treatable
alloy. Magnesium is considerably more effective than manganese as a hardener, about 0.8% magnesium being
equal to 1.25% manganese, and it can be added in considerably higher quantities.
Manganese does not affect tensile strength considerably, yet it slightly increases the yield strength. Its most
important function is to improve saltwater resistance of Mg-AI and Mg-AI-Zn alloys by removing iron and other
heavy-metal elements into relatively harmless intermetallic compounds, some of which separate out during
melting.
This is demonstrated in the followin chart:
