rubber bushings will rotate on low friction plain bearings and be lubricated for life. Each
bushing will also have a flange end to absorb longitudinal impact loads, reducing noise and
vibrations.
There will be nine (9) grease fittings supplied, one (1) on each control arm pivot and one (1)
on the steering gear extension.
The upper control arm will be shorter than the lower arm so that wheel end geometry
provides positive camber when deflected below rated load and negative camber above rated
load.
Camber at load will be zero degrees for optimum tire life.
WW The kingpin bearing will be of low friction design and be sealed for life.
Toe links that are adjustable for alignment of the wheel to the center of the chassis will be
provided.
The wheel ends must have little to no bump steer when the chassis encounters a hole or
obstacle.
The steering linkage will provide proper steering angles for the inside and outside wheel,

SUSPENSION
Front Oshkosh TAK -4 TM independent suspension will be provided with a minimum ground
rating of 19,500 pounds.
The independent suspension system will be designed to provide maximum ride comfort.
The design will allow the vehicle to travel at highway speeds over improved road surfaces,
and at moderate speeds over rough terrain with minimal transfer of road shock and vibration
to the vehicle's crew compartment.
Each wheel will have torsion bar type spring. In addition, each front wheel end will also
have energy absorbing jounce bumpers to prevent bottoming of the suspension.
The suspension design will be such that there is at least 10.00" of total wheel travel and a
minimum of 3.75" before suspension bottoms.
The torsion bar anchor lock system allows for simple lean adjustments, without the use of
shims. One can adjust for a lean within 15 minutes per side. Anchor adjustment design is
such that it allows for ride height adjustment on each side.
The independent suspension was put through a durability test that simulated 140,000 miles
of inner city driving.

Integrated stabilizer design results in greater stability
Low spring rate air springs for excellent ride quality
Dual height control valves to maintain level vehicle from side to side.
ANTI -LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
The vehicle will be equipped with a Wabco 4S4M, anti -lock braking system. The ABS will
provide a four (4) channel anti -lock braking control on both the front and rear wheels. It will
be a digitally controlled system that utilizes microprocessor technology to control the anti -
lock braking system. Each wheel will be monitored by the system. When any particular
wheel begins to lockup, a signal will be sent to the control unit. This control unit then will
reduce the braking of that wheel for a fraction of a second and then reapply the brake. This
anti -lock brake system will eliminate the lockup of any wheel thus helping to prevent the
apparatus from skidding out of control.

PAINT
The exterior custom cab and body painting procedure will consist of a six- (6) step finishing
process as follows:
1. Manual Surface Preparation - All exposed metal surfaces on the custom cab and body
will be thoroughly cleaned and prepared for painting. Surfaces that will not be painted
include chrome plating, 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 Cleaninq and Treatment - The aluminum surfaces will be properly cleaned
using a 4- phase, high pressure and high temperature acid etching system. All steel
surfaces will be properly treated using a 3- phase, high temperature, clean ing /phosphatizing
system. Surfaces are chemically cleaned to remove all dirt, oil, grease and metal oxides to
ensure the subsequent coatings bond well. The chemical treatment converts the metal
surface to a passive condition to prevent corrosion. An ultra pure water final rinse of 25
parts per million solids or less, will be applied to final rinse all metal surfaces, (excluding
undercarriage components), 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. The pH of the final rinse drainage coming off
the treated metal will be measured and within 1.0 pH of the pure water supply, (5.0 pH).
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
Page 86 of 90

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. The paint finish will have a surface gloss of no less than 90.00 percent reflection
measured on a 60- degree geometry.
A cyclic corrosion test, (General Motors test GM -9511 P), of 20 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 20 cycles
in the General Motors GM -9511 P test. Traditional salt spray tests have been proven in
multiple studies to not accurately predict real world corrosion performance.
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, and trim 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 will be two -tone, with the upper section painted 10 white along with a shield design
on the cab face and lower section of the cab and body painted 90 candy apple red.
PAINT - ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Contractor will meet or exceed all current State (his) regulations concerning paint
operations. Pollution control will include measures to protect the atmosphere, water and
soil. Controls will include the following conditions:
- Topcoats and primers will be chrome and lead free.
- Metal treatment chemicals will be chrome free. The wastewater generated in the
metal treatment process will be treated on -site to remove any other heavy metals.
- Particulate emission collection from sanding operations will have a 99.99% efficiency
factor.
- Particulate emissions from painting operations will be collected by a dry filter or water
wash process. If the dry filter means is used, it will have an efficiency rating of
98.00 %. Water wash systems will be 99.97% efficient.
- Water from water wash booths will be reused. Solids will be removed mechanically
on a continual basis to keep the water clean.
- Paint wastes are disposed of in an environmentally safe manner. They are used as
Page 87 of 90
fuel in kilns used in the cement manufacturing process - thereby extracting energy
from a waste material.
- Empty metal paint containers will be cleaned, crushed and recycled to recover the
metal.
- Solvents used in cleanup operations will be collected, sent off -site for distillation and
returned for reuse. Residue from the distillation operation will be used as fuel in off -
site cement kilns.
Additionally, the finished apparatus will not be manufactured with or contain products that
have ozone depleting substances. Contractor will, upon demand, present evidence that his
manufacturing facility meets the above conditions and that it is in compliance with his State
EPA rules and regulations.
