ENGINEERING DRAWINGS
The evaluation of bids shall also be based on design, engineering reliability, and completeness of drawings. No
Bidder's proposal shall be considered unless complete engineering drawings to these specifications are submitted
with the request for proposal package. Failure to submit factory prepared blueprints with bid shall result in
automatic rejection. Submission of "bid drawings" are in addition to "production drawings" which must be
submitted for Fire Department approval prior to construction. Bid drawings shall allow the Fire Department the
ability to fully evaluate required product.
The engineering drawings shall be produced on computer aided design (CAD) equipment to assure critical
tolerance and detail only available with CAD equipment. The drawings shall be on "B" size paper, 17" x 11" in
size, and views must be 1/4" = 1' - 0" scale. This shall allow the Fire Department the ability to compare drawings
of all manufacturers on an "equal" basis. The drawings shall be completed only by the body manufacturer, and
must be exactly to Fire Department specifications. Submission of "similar to" drawings or "statements referring to
later submission of drawings after award of contract" shall be automatically rejected.
Since the request for proposal package will require extensive evaluation by Fire Department, all Bidders must
submit exactly the same engineering drawings at the same scale, on the same size paper. For easy comparison
of drawings, they must be on a 17" x 11" sheet as follows:
 All bid drawings will be stamped BID DRAWING.
 All items shown on the drawing will be pre-designed with regards to layout and functionality prior to the
completion of the BID DRAWING.
 Two (2) 17” x 11” color drawings will be supplied with the bid proposal. Black and white or blue line drawings
will not be accepted.
 There shall be five (5) views of the truck with the doors closed (Top, Left, Right, Front, Rear), four (4) views of
the truck with the doors open (Top, Left, Right, Rear) and four (4) views of any walk-in area (Top, Left, Right,
Rear).
 All compartment door openings and usable space shall be clearly shown in inches.
 The trucks overall length, height, width, wheelbase and cab-to-axle dimensions shall be clearly shown.
 The angles of approach and departure shall be shown in the maximum loaded condition to the nearest
degree.
 All lighting packages will be clearly shown on the drawing and verified accurate per the most current NFPA
standards (when applicable).
 The exterior view shall show all scene lights, marker lights, speakers, horns, exhaust, tow points, exterior
outlets, windows, winch receivers, tow hitches, exterior ladders and any other item important to the function of
the vehicle.
 The open view shall show all trays, shelves, air system components, hydraulic components, tool boards,
storage modules and any other items important to the function of the vehicle.
 The interior view for all walk-in areas shall show all seating positions, desks, cabinets, windows, tech
equipment, radio locations and any other item important to the function of the vehicle.
 Any changes to the BID drawing will require a revision which will be clearly annotated in the upper right hand
side of the drawing showing the revision number, reason for the revision, date and who made the changes.
Text Block Items;
 Purchaser's name.
 Body size and material type.
 Chassis manufacturer and model number.
 Unit description.
 Wheelbase (WB) , Cab-to-axle (CA) distance.
 Overall length (OAL), Overall width, (OAW), Overall height (OAH).
 Scale, date, drawn by, drawing number and sheet number.
