Fire truck Refurb

The Dartmouth Fire District 2 is soliciting bids for the refurbishment of a 2004 KME Rescue Pumper. Eligible bidders must be located within 60 miles of the station and employ technicians certified to work on fire apparatus. The scope of work includes mechanical repairs such as diagnosing chassis air leaks and replacing intake and discharge swivels with chrome models, as well as the installation of seven Amdor brand roll-up doors. Electrical upgrades involve installing LED headlight modules, daytime running lights, pump panel and hose bed LED strips, and USB charging ports. The project also requires a comprehensive aesthetic restoration featuring a 6-inch black Scotch-Lite stripe with gold leaf accents and red and fluorescent yellow green rear chevrons. Technical requirements mandate that the pump be performance tested to NFPA-1901 standards by a certified company and that all 120/240 wiring also meet NFPA-1901 standards. The vehicle must undergo a dielectric voltage withstand test of 900 volts for one minute and be delivered fully cleaned and detailed with all required NFPA labels. Bidders must provide proof of product liability and facility insurance of at least 2 million dollars, as garage insurance is not acceptable. Proposals must be submitted via COMMBUYS by November 30, 2026, and must include detailed service center information, including shop size and photographs. The delivery timeframe must not exceed 120 calendar days from the date of contract signing.
