Siddons -Martin Emergency Group is pleased to submit a proposal to Port Arthur Fire
Department for a Pierce® triple combination pumper per your request for quotation. The
following paragraphs will describe in detail the apparatus, construction methods, and
equipment proposed. This proposal will indicate size, type, model and make of components
parts and equipment, providing proof of compliance with each and every item (except where
noted) in the departments advertised specifications.
PIERCE MANUFACTURING was founded in 1913. Since then we have been building
bodies with one philosophy, "BUILD THE FINEST ". Our skilled craftsmen take pride in
their work, which is reflected, in the final product. We have been building fire apparatus
since the early "forties" giving Pierce Manufacturing over 60 years of experience in the fire
apparatus market. Pierce Manufacturing has built and put into service more than 51,000
apparatus, including more than 27,000 on Pierce custom chassis designed and built
specifically for fire and emergency applications. Our Appleton, Wisconsin facility has over
757,000 total square feet of floor space situated on approximately 97 acres of land. Our
Bradenton, Florida facility has 300,000 square feet of floor space situated on approximately
38 acres of land.
Our beliefs in high ethical standards are carried through in our commitments to all with
whom we do business and our ethical standards do not change. Honesty, Integrity,
Accountability and Citizenship are global tenets by which we all live and work.
Consequently, we (nor our parent company) engage in or have been convicted of price fixing,
bid rigging, or collusion in any domestic or international fire apparatus market.
Pierce has only one brand of fire apparatus "Pierce ", ensuring you are receiving top of the line
product that meets your specification.
In accordance with the current addition of NFPA 1901 standards, this proposal will specify
whether the fire department, manufacturer, or apparatus dealership will provide required
loose equipment.
GENERAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
To control quality, ensure compatibility, and provide a single source for service and warranty,
the custom cab, chassis, pump module and body will be entirely designed, assembled/welded
and painted in Pierce owned manufacturing facilities. This includes, but not limited to the
cab weldment, the pumphouse module assembly, the chassis assembly, the body and the
electrical system.
QUALITY AND WORICYIANSIIIP
Pierce has set the pace for quality and workmanship in the fire apparatus field. Our tradition
of building the highest quality units with craftsmen second to none has been the rule right
from the beginning and we demonstrate that ongoing commitment by: Ensuring all steel
welding follows American Welding Society D1.1 -2004 recommendations for structural steel
welding. All aluminum welding follows American Welding society and ANSI D1.2 -2003
requirements for structural welding of aluminum. All sheet metal welding follows American
welding Society B2.1 -2000 requirements for structural welding of sheet metal. Our flux core
arc welding uses alloy rods, type 7000 and is performed to American Welding Society
standards A5.20- E70T1. Furthermore, all employees classified as welders are tested and
certified to meet the American welding Society codes upon hire and every three (3) years
1 of 113
BID #406 PAFD EP3413247
thereafter. Pierce also employs and American Welding Society certified welding inspector in
plant during working hours to monitor weld quality.
Pierce Manufacturing operates a Quality Management System under the requirements of ISO
9001. These standards sponsored by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
specify the quality systems that are established by the manufacturer for design, manufacture,
installation and service. A copy of the certificate of compliance is included with this
proposal.
In addition to the Quality Management system, we also employ a Quality Achievement
Supplier program to insure the vendors and suppliers that we utilize meet the high standards
we demand. That is just part of our overall "Quality at the Source" program at Pierce.
To demonstrate the quality of our products and services, a list of at least ten (10) fire
departments /municipalities that have purchased vehicles for a second time is provided.
DELIVERY
The apparatus will be delivered under its own power to insure proper break -in of all
components while the apparatus is still under warranty. A qualified delivery representative
shall deliver the apparatus and remain for a sufficient length of time to instruct personnel in
proper operation, care and maintenance of the equipment delivered.
MANUAL AND SERVICE INFORMATION
At time of delivery, complete operation and maintenance manuals covering the apparatus will
be provided. A permanent plate will be mounted in the driver's compartment specifying the

PAINT - BODY PAINTED TO MATCH CAB
The exterior custom cab and body painting procedure will consist of a seven (7) step
finishing process as follows:
1. Manual Surface Preparation - All exposed metal surfaces on the custom body will be
thoroughly cleaned and prepared for painting. Surfaces that will not be painted include all
chrome plated, polished stainless steel, anodized aluminum and bright aluminum
treadplate. Each imperfection on the exterior metal surface will be removed or filled and
then sanded smooth for a smooth appearance. All seams will be sealed before painting.
2. Chemical Cleaning and Treatment - The aluminum surfaces will be properly cleaned
using a four (4)- phase, high pressure and high temperature acid etching system. All steel
surfaces will be properly treated using a three (3)- phase, high temperature,
cleaning/phosphatizing system. Surfaces are chemically cleaned to remove all dirt, oil,
grease and metal oxides to ensure the subsequent coatings bond well. An ultra pure water
final rinse of 25 parts per million solids or less, will be applied to final rinse all metal
surfaces at the conclusion of the metal treatment process. This final rinse ensures all
chemical residues are removed and that no minerals, (salts), from the water dry onto the
metal surface and remain under the primers and topcoats. These salts can lead to blistering
and under film corrosion.
3. Primer /Surfacer Coats - A minimum of two (2) mil dry, (.002), of two component
urethane primer /surfacer will be hand applied to the chemically treated metal surfaces to
provide a strong corrosion protective base coat and to smooth out the surface. The primer is
a high solids and low VOC paint.
4. Hand Sanding to Ultra Fine Finish - The primer /surfacer coat is lightly sanded with mild
abrasive paper to an ultra smooth finish. This hand finish process is critical to produce the
smooth mirror like finish in the topcoat.
5. Sealer Primer Coat - A two (2) component sealer primer coat is applied over the sanded
primer to again build toward the final smooth finish. This layer of primer sealer also gives
additional corrosion protection.
6. Topcoat Paint - Two (2) coats of an automotive grade, two component acrylic urethane
paint are applied to provide the lasting beauty and durability. The acrylic urethane topcoat
contains a clear coat resin chemistry that creates the high gloss and depth of image. This type
of topcoat provides the best resistance against acid rain and other more common chemicals.
7. Clearcoat - Two (2) coats of an automotive grade two (2) component urethane will be
applied. Lap style doors will be clear coated to match the body. Roll -up doors will not be
clear coated and the standard roll -up door warranty will apply.
102 of 113
BID#406 PAFD EP3413247
A cyclic corrosion test, (General Motors test GM- 9540), of 40 cycles will be required before
making changes to the exterior coating process. Exterior coating systems, (excluding the
undercarriage components), must achieve a 1/16 or less maximum creep from the scribe for
aluminum and an 1/8 or less maximum creep from the scribe for galvanneal after 40 cycles in
the General Motors GM -9540 test.
Each batch of color topcoat, together with the finish painted vehicle, is tested for precise
color match. Visual color match will be checked following ASTM D -1729, (American
Standard Testing Methods), procedures using CIE, (International Commission on
Illumination), D75 Northern Daylight light source. Instrumental color match will follow
ASMT D -2244 procedures with a maximum delta E of 1.0 for whites, 1.4 for yellows, blues,
greens and 1.5 for reds.
All removable items such as brackets, compartment doors, door hinges, trim, etc. will be
removed and painted separately to insure paint behind all mounted items. Body assemblies
that can not be finish painted after assembly will be finish painted before assembly.
The cab and the body will be painted duplicate previous job numbers 25076 -1.
Prior to reassembly and reinstallation of lights, handrails, door hardware and any
miscellaneous body items, an isolation tape or gasket material will be used to prevent damage
to the finish painted surfaces. A nylon washer will be installed under each acorn nut or metal
screw that is fastened directly to a painted body surface.
