0000007 Approval Drawing APPROVAL DRAWING <br />A drawing of the proposed apparatus will be prepared and provided to the purchaser for approval <br />before construction begins. The Pierce sales representative will also be provided with a copy of <br />the same drawing. The finalized and approved drawing will become part of the contract <br />documents. This drawing will indicate the chassis make and model, location of the lights, siren, <br />horns, compartments, major components, etc. <br />A "revised" approval drawing of the apparatus will be prepared and submitted by Pierce to the <br />purchaser showing any changes made to the approval drawing. <br />0002928 Electrical Diagrams ELECTRICAL WIRING DIAGRAMS <br />Two (2) electrical wiring diagrams, prepared for the model of chassis and body, will be provided. <br />0649754 Enforcer Chassis <br /> <br />ENFORCER CHASSIS <br />The Pierce Enforcerâ„¢ is the custom chassis developed exclusively for the fire service. Chassis <br />provided will be a new, tilt-type custom fire apparatus. The chassis will be manufactured in the <br />apparatus body builder's facility eliminating any split responsibility. The chassis will be designed <br />and manufactured for heavy-duty service, with adequate strength, capacity for the intended load <br />to be sustained, and the type of service required. The chassis will be the manufacturer's first line <br />tilt cab. <br />0000110 Wheelbase WHEELBASE <br />The wheelbase of the vehicle will be 193.50". <br />0000070 GVW Rating GVW RATING <br />The gross vehicle weight rating will be 43,500. <br />0729280 Frame Rails, 13.38 x 3.50 x .375, <br />Enforcer <br />FRAME <br />The chassis frame will be built with two (2) steel channels bolted to five (5) cross members or <br />more, depending on other options of the apparatus. The side rails will have a 13.38" tall web over <br />the front and mid sections of the chassis, with a continuous smooth taper to 10.75" over the rear <br />axle. Each rail will have a section modulus of 25.992 cubic inches and a resisting bending <br />moment (rbm) of 3,119,040 in-lb over the critical regions of the frame assembly, with a section <br />modulus of 18.96 cubic inches with an rbm of 2,275,200 in-lb over the rear axle. The frame rails <br />will be constructed of 120,000 psi yield strength heat-treated 0.38" thick steel with 3.50" wide <br />flanges. <br />0020018 Frame Liner Not Req'd <br /> <br />0630705 Axle, Front, Oshkosh TAK-4, Non <br />Drive, 19,500 lb, Enforcer <br />FRONT NON DRIVE AXLE <br />The Oshkosh TAK-4® front axle will be of the independent suspension design with a ground  <br />rating of 19,500 lb. <br />Upper and lower control arms will be used on each side of the axle. Upper control arm castings <br />will be made of 100,000-psi yield strength 8630 steel and the lower control arm casting will be <br />made of 55,000-psi yield ductile iron. <br />The center cross members and side plates will be constructed out of 80,000-psi yield strength <br />steel. <br />Each control arm will be mounted to the center section using elastomer bushings. These rubber <br />bushings will rotate on low friction plain bearings and be lubricated for life. Each bushing will also <br />have a flange end to absorb longitudinal impact loads, reducing noise and vibrations. <br />There will be nine (9) grease fittings supplied, one (1) on each control arm pivot and one (1) on <br />the steering gear extension. <br />The upper control arm will be shorter than the lower arm so that wheel end geometry provides <br />positive camber when deflected below rated load and negative camber above rated load. <br />Camber at load will be zero degrees for optimum tire life. <br />The ball joint bearing will be of low friction design and be maintenance free. <br />Toe links that are adjustable for alignment of the wheel to the center of the chassis will be <br />provided. <br />The wheel ends must have little to no bump steer when the chassis encounters a hole or <br />obstacle. <br />The steering linkage will provide proper steering angles for the inside and outside wheel, based <br />on the vehicle wheelbase. <br />The axle will have a turning angle of up to 45 degrees. <br />5717Bid #:
