REV: 04-29-25 LF <br />HEIGHT AND REACH <br />The height of the unit shall be a minimum of 105’ as measured by the current NFPA Standard for <br />Automotive Fire Apparatus, applicable regulations in effect as of the Effective Date, which <br />requires the rated vertical height of an aerial ladder, shall be measured in a vertical plane with the <br />ladder at maximum elevation and extension from the outermost rung of the outermost fly section <br />to the ground. <br />The horizontal reach of the unit shall be a minimum of 94' 6” as measured by the current NFPA <br />Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus, applicable regulations in effect as of the Effective Date, <br />β€œThe rated horizontal reach of an aerial ladder shall be measured in a horizontal plane from the <br />centerline of the turntable rotation to the outermost rung on the outermost fly section with the <br />aerial ladder extended to its maximum horizontal reach.” <br />WELDMENT FIXTURES <br />To ensure exact tolerances between parts and part interchangeability, all weldments shall be <br />manufactured in fixtures. To further ensure weld integrity in all weldments, all aerial device fixtures <br />must be able to position the weldments in the number 1 flat welding position resulting in maximum <br />weld penetration in the welded material for both the tack and final weld process of the aerial <br />device. <br />AERIAL PAINTING <br />Prior to any painting, all weldments such as the outrigger beams, torque box, turntable, and aerial <br />ladder sections shall be shot blasted, cleaned and inspected to ensure the removal of any surface <br />imperfections and to ensure superior paint adhesion to the metal. <br />The entire painting system shall utilize a single manufacturer's paint for compatibility between <br />primers and finished coats. The paint shall be PPG Industries Delta® brand, applied throughout <br />a multi-step process. All painting shall be done in atmosphere controlled spray booths. The <br />weldments will be primed with a zinc corrosive inhibitor and an Epoxy Primer. All seams between <br />adjoining pieces that are not continuously welded shall be caulked to inhibit corrosion. <br />Before assembly, in preparation for final painting, the aerial unit shall be thoroughly cleaned, <br />conforming to good painting practices. <br />AERIAL DEVICE PAINT <br />The aerial ladder sections, Turntable base, side plates and deck structure shall be painted the <br />same color unless specified otherwise. <br />The finished paint color shall match PPG FBCH 903653/DuPont 817 White. <br />AERIAL APPARATUS CERTIFICATIONS (TYPE 1) <br />The aerial device shall be tested in compliance with the current NFPA Standard for Automotive <br />Fire Apparatus, applicable regulations in effect as of the Effective Date. <br />The following tests shall be conducted by personnel holding a Level II certification to detect <br />defects and improperly secured components: <br />ATTY/AGR.2025.089/Fire Apparatus Solutions (Purchase of Spartan-LTC 105' TDA) (Page 119 of 150)
