Specifications include, but are not limited to: The overall length of the completed truck shall not exceed thirty-nine (39) feet. (this specification is intended to ensure the completed truck fits into the existing Town garage space without any building modifications). The equipment shall be of modular design consisting of the vacuum system, water tanks system, debris body and drive system. The subframe shall be fabricated to the exact dimensions of the truck chassis for mounting modular components. All components of the module shall attach to the sub frame and not directly to the chassis. The subframe shall be designed to ASME standards for maximum applied loads, chassis frame movement and even distribution of weight to the chassis and suspension. The subframe shall be continuous and uninterrupted from the back of cab to end of frame. Efficiency of air movement through debris body will be measured for minimal restriction as measured by vacuum pressure gauge while operating blower at full speed. Pressure drop throughout entire system (from 8" hose inlet to blower inlet) including specified filtration and blower protection devices shall be no greater than 3“ hg as measured at blower. The body shall be cylindrical having a minimum usable liquid capacity of 10 cubic yards. The body shall be capable of high dump height of 60". Dump height of 60" must be achieved without the use of scissor lift mechanism. The debris storage body shall be constructed with a minimum 1/4" corrosion and abrasion resistant steel.
