<br />GSFA is pleased to submit a proposal to Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department for a Pierce®
<br />triple combination pumper per your request for quotation. The following paragraphs will
<br />describe in detail the apparatus, construction methods, and equipment proposed. This proposal
<br />will indicate size, type, model and make of components parts and equipment, providing proof of
<br />compliance with each and every item (except where noted) in the departments advertised
<br />specifications.
<br />PIERCE MANUFACTURING was founded in 1913. Since then we have been building bodies with
<br />one philosophy, "BUILD THE FINEST". Our skilled craftsmen take pride in their work, which is
<br />reflected, in the final product. We have been building fire apparatus since the early "forties" giving
<br />Pierce Manufacturing over 75 years of experience in the fire apparatus market. Pierce
<br />Manufacturing has built and put into service more than 62,500 apparatus, including more than
<br />33,900 on Pierce custom chassis designed and built specifically for fire and emergency
<br />applications. Our Appleton, Wisconsin facility has over 870,000 total square feet of floor space
<br />situated on approximately 105 acres of land. Our Bradenton, Florida facility has 300,000 square
<br />feet of floor space situated on approximately 38 acres of land.
<br />Our beliefs in high ethical standards are carried through in all of our commitments and to
<br />everyone with whom we do business. Honesty, Integrity, Accountability and Citizenship are global
<br />tenets by which we all live and work. Consequently, we neither engage in, nor have we ever been
<br />convicted of price fixing, bid rigging, or collusion in any domestic or international fire apparatus
<br />market.
<br />Pierce has only one brand of fire apparatus "Pierce", ensuring you are receiving top of the line
<br />product that meets your specification.
<br />In accordance with the current edition of NFPA 1901 standards, this proposal will specify whether
<br />the fire department, manufacturer, or apparatus dealership will provide required loose equipment.
<br />Images and illustrative material in this proposal are as accurate as known at the time of
<br />publication, but are subject to change without notice. Images and illustrative material is for
<br />reference only, and may include optional equipment and accessories and may not include all
<br />standard equipment.
<br />GENERAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
<br />To control quality, ensure compatibility, and provide a single source for service and warranty, the
<br />custom cab, chassis, pump module and body will be entirely designed, assembled/welded and
<br />painted in Pierce owned manufacturing facilities. This includes, but not limited to the cab
<br />weldment, the pumphouse module assembly, the chassis assembly, the body and the electrical
<br />system.
<br />QUALITY AND WORKMANSHIP
<br />Pierce has set the pace for quality and workmanship in the fire apparatus field. Our tradition of
<br />building the highest quality units with craftsmen second to none has been the rule right from the
<br />beginning and we demonstrate that ongoing commitment by: Ensuring all steel welding follows
<br />American Welding Society D1.1-2004 recommendations for structural steel welding. All aluminum
<br />welding follows American Welding society and ANSI D1.2-2003 requirements for structural
<br />welding of aluminum. All sheet metal welding follows American welding Society B2.1-2000
<br />requirements for structural welding of sheet metal. Our flux core arc welding uses alloy rods, type
<br />7000 and is performed to American Welding Society standards A5.20-E70T1. Furthermore, all
<br />employees classified as welders are tested and certified to meet the American welding Society
<br />codes upon hire and every three (3) years thereafter. Pierce also employs and American Welding
<br />Society certified welding inspector in plant during working hours to monitor weld quality.
<br />Pierce Manufacturing operates a Quality Management System under the requirements of ISO
<br />9001. These standards sponsored by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
<br />specify the quality systems that are established by the manufacturer for design, manufacture,
<br />installation and service. A copy of the certificate of compliance is included with this proposal.
<br />In addition to the Quality Management system, we also employ a Quality Achievement Supplier
<br />program to insure the vendors and suppliers that we utilize meet the high standards we demand.
<br />That is just part of our overall "Quality at the Source" program at Pierce.
<br />To demonstrate the quality of our products and services, a list of at least twenty five (25) fire
<br />departments/municipalities that have purchased vehicles for a second time is provided.
<br />DELIVERY
<br />The apparatus will be delivered under its own power to insure proper break-in of all components
<br />while the apparatus is still under warranty. A qualified delivery representative shall deliver the
<br />apparatus and remain for a sufficient length of time to instruct personnel in proper operation, care
<br />and maintenance of the equipment delivered.
<br />MANUAL AND SERVICE INFORMATION
<br />At time of delivery, complete operation and maintenance manuals covering the apparatus will be
<br />provided. A permanent plate will be mounted in the driver's compartment specifying the quantity
<br />and type of fluids required including engine oil, engine coolant, transmission, pump transmission
<br />lubrication, pump primer and drive axle.
<br />SAFETY VIDEO
<br />At the time of delivery Pierce will also provide one (1) 39-minute, professionally produced
<br />apparatus safety video, in DVD format. This video will address key safety considerations for
<br />personnel to follow when they are driving, operating, and maintaining the apparatus, including the
<br />following: vehicle pre-trip inspection, chassis operation, pump operation, aerial operation, and
<br />safety during maintenance.
<br />PERFORMANCE TESTS
<br />A road test will be conducted with the apparatus fully loaded and a continuous run of no less than
<br />ten (10) miles. During that time the apparatus will show no loss of power nor will it overheat. The
