Custom Fire Apparatus, Inc. <br />Apparatus body sub frame components are to be bolted to the chassis frame with hardened steel locking <br />thread nut and bolt fasteners, bolt holes precision drilled through chassis frame side webs. Body sub <br />frame is to be positioned parallel with and leveled to the chassis frame rails, designed to provide <br />approximately 22" from the ground to top of apparatus body rub rails, running boards, and rear tailboard, <br />when fully loaded. <br />NOTE: The apparatus body sub frame is not to be fastened to the chassis frame rails with U-bolts, <br />sandwich clamps, or other temporary fastening methods, AND/OR the body sub frame is not to be <br />permanently welded to the body fabrications or extrusions. Above all, the body sub frame is to <br />provide the above specified under -compartment -floor support. <br />Top mating surface (body to sub frame) of underbody and tailboard tubular supports is to be fully lined <br />with 3M vinyl barrier tape so as to properly isolate the sub frame from the compartment floors. <br />3D ENGINEERED PUMPER APPARATUS BODY and ACCESSORIES <br />The specified fire apparatus pumper body design is to be "fully engineered", with ALL body structural <br />fabrications and body accessory fabrications computer three -dimension modeled and on -screen <br />assembled. Each individual part profile is to be traceable to a precision engineered digital drawing. <br />Body and accessory fabrications which are to meet the above design criteria, include: four (4) body <br />corners, body front and rear panels, tandem wheelwell housings and liners, compartment door jambs and <br />bulkheads, compartment floors and roofs, compartment walls and wire covers, roll -up door bundle <br />pendants, tailboard and running boards/steps, non -painted metal overlays and polished stainless trim, and <br />hose bed risers and dividers. Where optionally specified, the following body accessories are also to meet <br />the above engineered parts criteria: shelving and adjustable tracks, trays and tool boards, <br />In addition to the part profile and fabrication details, the precision engineering is to include fastener <br />holes for assembly of all components, compartment vent and filtration holes, handrail bracket mount <br />holes, wiring grommet holes, door hardware mounting holes, body step mount holes, and electrical <br />fixture recessing and mount holes. <br />APPARATUS BODY SIDE COMPARTMENT CONFIGURATION: <br />A precision machined and fabricated fire apparatus compartmented body is to be furnished, designed to <br />be located immediately rearward of the specified fire pump module, totally separate of the pump <br />module. The compartmented body is to be mounted to, supported by, and removable from the specified <br />under body structural sub -frame. <br />The body configuration is to include fully enclosed and weather sealed compartmentation on the driver <br />side and the passenger's side of vehicle. In order to provide for maximum depth compartmentation, the <br />wheelwell housings are to completely enclose the rear axle suspension components, allowing for the <br />lower portions of the side compartments to extend inboard to the chassis frame depth. Additionally, the <br />apparatus body overall side -to -side width (inboard of body rub rails and fender moldings) is to be 100". <br />07/26/22 <br />
