NFPA1901 Angle of Approach definition: “To determine the angle of approach, place a thin steel strip against the front of the tires where they touch the ground or stretch a tight string from one front tire to the other at the front where they touch the ground. Determine the lowest point (component or equipment) on the vehicle forward of the front tire that would make the smallest angle of approach. Hang a plumb bob from the lowest point and mark the point on the ground where the point of the plumb bob touches. Measure the vertical distance from the ground to the point where the plumb bob was hung (distance Measure the horizontal distance from the plumb bob point to the steel strip or string running from front tire to front tire (distance Divide the vertical distance by the horizontal distance. The ratio of V/H is the tangent of the angle of approach. If the ratio is known, the angle of approach can be determined from a table of trigonometric functions of angles or from a math calculator. The standard requires a minimum angle of approach of 8.00 degrees: since the tangent of 8.00 degrees is 0.1405, if V divided by H is 0.1405 or larger, the angle of approach is 8.00 degrees or greater.” ---PAGE BREAK--- Bidder Complies Yes No Gordon County Fire-Rescue 19 AXLE CONFIGURATION The chassis shall feature a 6 x 4 axle configuration consisting of a tandem rear drive axle set with a single front steer axle.

V-MUX ELECTRICAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM The apparatus shall be equipped with a V-MUX Multiplex System. There are several key benefits to multiplexing, one is to reduce the number of connections in a vehicle's electrical system, because of this it is important to limit the amount of modules that control certain functions of the vehicle. Outputs: The outputs shall perform all the following items without added modules to perform any of the tasks: • Load Shedding: The System shall have the capability to Load Shed with 8 levels any output. This means you can specify which outputs (barring NFPA restrictions) you would like Load Shed. Level 1 - 12.9v, Level 2 - 12.5V, Level 3 - 12.1V, Level 4 - 11.7V, Level 5 - 11.3V, Level 6 - 10.9V, Level 7 - 10.5, Level 8 - 10.1. Unlike conventional load shedding devices you can assign a level to any or all outputs. No add-on modules shall be acceptable; the module with the outputs must perform this function. • Load Sequencing: The System shall be able to sequence from 0 8 levels any output. With 0 being no delay and 1 being a 1-second delay, 2 being a 2-second delay and so on. Sequencing reduces the amount of voltage spikes and drops on your vehicle, and can help limit damage to your charging system. No add-on modules shall be acceptable; the module with the outputs must perform this function. • Output Device: The System shall have solid-state output devices. Each solid-state output shall be a MOS-FET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor - Field Effect Transistors); MOS-FETs are solid-state devices with no moving parts to wear out. A typical relay, when loaded to spec, has a life of 100,000 cycles. The life of a FET is more than 100 times that of a relay. No add-on modules shall be acceptable; the module with the outputs must perform this function. ---PAGE BREAK--- Bidder Complies Yes No Gordon County Fire-Rescue 134 • Flashing Outputs: The System shall be able to flash any output in either A or B phase, and logic is used to shut down needed outputs in park, or any one of several combined interlocks. The flash rate can be selected at either 80, or 160 FPM. This means any light can be specified with a multiplex truck with no need to add flashers. Flashing outputs can also be used to warn of problems. No add-on modules shall be acceptable; the module with the outputs must perform this function. • PWM: The modules shall have the ability to PWM at some outputs so that a Headlight PWM module is not needed. No add-on modules shall be acceptable; the module with the outputs must perform this function. • Diagnostics: An output shall be able to detect either a short or open circuit. Inputs: The inputs shall have the ability to be switched by a ground or battery signal. The inputs shall be filtered for noise suppression via hardware and software so that RF or dirty power will not trick an input into changing its status. System Network: The Multiplex system shall contain a Peer-to-Peer network. A Master-Slave Type network is not suitable for the Fire/Rescue industry. A Peer-to-Peer network means that all the modules are equal on the network; a Master is not needed to tell other nodes when to talk. System Reliability: The Multiplex system shall be able to perform in extreme temperature conditions, from -40° to +85° C (-40 degree to +185 degree Fahrenheit) The system shall be sealed against the environment, moisture, humidity, salt or fluids such as diesel fuel, motor oil or brake fluid.

NFPA AERIAL STABILITY FACTOR AND TESTING A one and one-half to one (1.5:1) stability factor shall be provided. These capabilities ---PAGE BREAK--- Bidder Complies Yes No Gordon County Fire-Rescue 145 shall be established in an unsupported configuration. Since the device is rated while flowing water, stability testing shall account for the distributed weight of water in a full waterway and water reactionary force as required by NFPA, current edition. The following are specific descriptions of what tests are to be performed, and conditions they shall be performed under, and strictly adhered to by the aerial manufacture set forth in these specifications and the current edition of NFPA, current edition. For both of the following tests, the only obstructions to a full 360-degree rotation with the aerial at 0 degrees elevation and full extension; shall be presented by the apparatus itself, and not external obstructions at the manufacturer's test location. This means that the aerial device manufacturer shall ensure that the testing grounds present no obstruction (trees, buildings, etc.) to the full 360-degree rotation at 0 degrees elevation and full extension, which may cause the need to raise the aerial to clear the obstruction. Additionally, the apparatus shall be tested for stability only after the entire apparatus is complete. Manufacturers using a third-party to manufacture the aerial device must provide certified documentation the unit was tested by the manufacturer of the aerial and the final OEM manufacturer. This requirement is specified in NFPA, current edition as the apparatus being in "service-ready condition". There shall be no exception to this requirement due to the fact that it would be unlikely that actual weight distribution could be accurately simulated for the stability testing. TEST 1 After the above conditions have been satisfied, the aerial shall be subjected to the following test in the presence of the third party testing company that is in compliance with these specifications. Specifically, the aerial device shall be placed on level ground with the stabilizers deployed per manufacturer recommendations. The aerial device then shall have 1.5 times the rated capacity placed at the tip of the aerial, with the device at full extension and at 0 degrees elevation, which is the most stringent configuration.

These cables are specially designed and custom fit for each aerial apparatus. the energy chain is virtually wear-free and offers extremely quiet operation. The energy chain is very well suited to resist the harsh environmental conditions by being able to withstand extreme temperatures and is also UV resistant. WEAR PADS/BEARING SURFACES Nylon wear pads impregnated with molybdenum disulfide and high in molecular weight shall be used between the telescoping sections for maximum weight distribution, strength, and smoothness of operation. This impregnation shall provide a lubricating function. Stainless steel adjustment screws shall be provided on the wear pads to permit proper side tension. Plates shall be installed on the sides of the slide pads where adjustment screws come into contact with them. No exceptions shall be allowed to this requirement to prohibit the adjustment screws from embedding themselves into the pads, which may cause the pad to crack and fail. To prevent additional maintenance and pressure points from the limited surface area, roller systems in place of wear pads will not be considered acceptable. ROTATION BEARING A 44-inch diameter external tooth, swing circle bearing shall be used for the rotation system. The bearing shall provide 360-degree continuous rotation. The bearing shall be designed specifically for the aerial device in lieu of the aerial device being designed to accommodate a particular bearing. The bearing shall be bolted to the turntable and to the base support structure with SAE grade 8 bolts. Welding on the bearing in any manner shall not be acceptable. The turntable base and the torque box bearing plate surfaces that contact the bearing shall be machined to prevent loading the bearing when the attaching bolts are brought to full torque. Machining of the surfaces shall be done after all welding to assure no further distortion of the material. Shims shall not be acceptable as they reduce the surface contact area significantly thereby causing a concentration of forces at the shims. BOLT TORQUING FROM TOP SIDE All rotation bearing bolts shall be torqued from the top side of the turntable without the bolt or nut being held under the turntable by a person. Units requiring removal of equipment to access the torque bolts shall be considered unacceptable. ---PAGE BREAK--- Bidder Complies Yes No Gordon County Fire-Rescue 150 This design shall prevent the bolt from "spinning" while torque is being applied to the fastener. Application of Loctite or a similar compound alone, without any other means provided to hold the fastener shall not be acceptable. Additionally, this design feature shall not incorporate drilling, bending, welding on, or in any way modifying the structural fastener, nut, or washers. ROTATION GEAR REDUCTION BOX A hydraulically driven planetary gearbox with a drive speed reducer shall be used to provide infinite and minute rotation control throughout the entire rotational travel. The rotation gear reduction box shall be installed on the top side of the turntable so that it is easily accessible, yet it shall be installed so that it does not provide an obstruction or tripping hazard to persons on the turntable. Specifically, it shall be installed toward the front of the turntable, under the aerial ladder base section. Under no circumstance shall the gear box present any interference with the aerial device, even at low elevations. Due to the additional maintenance required to keep two rotation motors functioning properly without binding, units requiring more than one rotation motor are not considered acceptable. A spring applied, hydraulically released disc type swing brake shall be furnished to provide positive braking of the turntable assembly. Provisions shall be made for manual operation of the rotation system should complete loss of hydraulic power occur. These provisions shall include a manual rotation drive tool supplied with the apparatus. The hydraulic system shall be equipped with pressure relief valves, which shall limit the rotational torque to a nondestructive power. All moving parts of the rotation gear reduction box shall be enclosed or under the turntable decking eliminating safety hazards. ROTATION INTERLOCK SYSTEM No Exception The aerial device shall be equipped with a rotation interlock system to prevent the ladder from being rotated to any side where the stabilizers are not sufficiently extended to provide for the full tip load rating. The system shall monitor the stabilizers for extension. When a stabilizer is not sufficiently extended (short-jacked) to provide full tip load rating, the system shall prevent the aerial from being rotated more than 12 degrees past the front or rear center line into the short-jacked side of the apparatus. A slowdown feature shall be built into the rotation interlock system. When the aerial is operating in a short-jacked mode, the rotational speed shall be automatically reduced, by approximately 50%, when the aerial is rotated to within approximately 10 ---PAGE BREAK--- Bidder Complies Yes No Gordon County Fire-Rescue 151 degrees of the front or rear center line of the apparatus. The rotational speed shall remain reduced throughout an arc of approximately 20-degrees over the front or rear of the apparatus, regardless of the direction of the rotation movement. The rotation function shall automatically stop when the aerial approaches the front or rear corner area of the short-jacked side of the apparatus. The rotation interlock system shall allow for normal operation on the side of the apparatus where the stabilizers are sufficiently extended for full tip load rating. An override system, activated by pull knobs within the main turntable control pedestal, shall be provided that allows the operator to rotate the aerial into the non- recommended (short-jacked) side of the apparatus, should the situation absolutely demand it. To ensure the maximum amount of safety, units allowing aerial rotation to the short- jacked side of the apparatus or systems which only include a visual and audio warning without automatically stopping rotation shall not be acceptable. AERIAL STOW OPERATION INTERLOCK SYSTEM No Exception A safety feature shall be included in the aerial operational system that limits the possibility of damage to the apparatus when stowing the aerial. When a rear mounted aerial is positioned over the cab area of the apparatus, the interlock system shall not allow the downward movement of the aerial below a preset angle of elevation, unless the aerial is rotated into the bed-zone envelope. The bed- zone shall be approximately 2 degrees of rotation to the left and right side of the center of the aerial bed support. Once this bed-zone envelope is attained, downward movement of the aerial shall be allowed for proper positioning into the bed support. An indicator light shall be located at the turntable control station to inform the aerial operator when the bed-zone envelope is attained. COLLISION PROTECTION INTERLOCK No Exception The apparatus shall be equipped with a cab collision protection interlock. This interlock shall be enabled while rotating the aerial device at elevations as low as, or lower than the cab of the apparatus. Should the operator accidentally rotate the aerial device toward the cab at an elevation low enough to cause a collision with the cab, the interlock shall automatically stop rotation of the aerial at a point that is within a few degrees of the cab. A manual override shall be provided to override the interlock system. ---PAGE BREAK--- Bidder Complies Yes No Gordon County Fire-Rescue 152 APPARATUS BODY DAMAGE CONTROL INTERLOCK SYSTEM No Exception A safety feature shall be included in the aerial operational system that minimizes the possibility of damage to the apparatus body at all angles for all standard (non- override) operational modes. The system shall automatically stop the downward movement of the aerial at a preset angle of elevation unless the aerial has been rotated at least 80-degrees, left or right, from the center of the ladder support. Once this rotation point is reached, full range downward movement (to -8 degrees) shall be allowed. The aerial manufacturer shall determine and set the angle of elevation where downward aerial movement is stopped. The highest point of an apparatus, in relation to the distance from the turntable, shall be used to determine the pre-set elevation angle stopping point. The system shall also minimize the possibility of accidental damage to the apparatus body from aerial rotation whenever the aerial elevation is below the preset elevation angle stopping point. Rotational speed shall be reduced by approximately 50% when the aerial is rotated within a minimum of 10 degrees of a body avoidance stopping point. Aerial rotation shall automatically stop before the aerial contacts the body of the apparatus. The body damage interlock system shall have no effect on aerial operation when the aerial is raised above the preset downward movement stopping point. The body damage interlock system shall not eliminate the possibility of damage to components such as telescopic lights that are in a raised position. A manual override shall be provided that will override the interlock system. POWER TAKE-OFF The apparatus shall be equipped with a power take-off (PTO) driven by the chassis transmission and actuated by an electric shift, located inside the cab. The PTO, which drives the hydraulic pump, shall meet all the requirements for the aerial unit operations.
