Proposal Number PSDF #P09-0004
DUNNAGE COMPARTMENT OVER PUMP
There shall be a dunnage compartment furnished on top of the pump module. The floor shall be bolted in
place and removable for access to the fire pump components for major service.
Two (2) bright anodized extruded aluminum grab rails shall be provided, one (1) each side of the pump
house on the side of the dunnage compartment just below the top edge mounted horizontal to provide easy
access to the dunnage compartment. Molded rubber gaskets shall be installed under the grab handles to
protect the surface of the compartment.
The dunnage area of the pump house shall have approximate dimensions of 68" wide x 19" deep x 43" front
to back.
WALKWAY GRABRAILS
Two (2) bright anodized extruded aluminum grab rails shall be provided, one (1) each side of the pump
house on top of the speedlay area, to provide easy entry and egress from the top operators position. Molded
rubber gaskets shall be installed under the grab handles to protect the surface of the compartment.
PUMP COMPARTMENT WORK LIGHT
The pump compartment shall have one (1) Truck Lite, model 40 clear work light to provide illumination
inside the pump compartment. The light shall have a weather resistant, toggle style on/off switch located
inside the pump compartment adjacent to the left service door area. The power for the pump module light
shall be switched thru the battery master switch.
PUMP SERVICE ACCESS REQUIREMENTS
It is the opinion that service access to the pump, valves, gauges and controls are of the utmost importance.
Special consideration will be taken when evaluating the pump module design of the fire department. Pump
panels that offer little to no access without the use of tools shall not be considered compliant with this
requirement.
TOP MOUNT PUMP CONTROL PANEL
All pump controls and gauges shall be located above the fire pump in a top mounted operator's control panel
and properly identified. The layout of the pump control panel shall be ergonomically efficient and
systematically organized. The pump operator's panel shall be removable in one (1) section for ease of
maintenance. The gauge panel shall contain a panel for mounting of all instruments, engine monitoring
system, and pressure control system. The gauge panel shall be a removable bolt-on single panel to allow
access to all gauge tubing, switch, and control wiring. The gauge panel exterior shall be made of 10-gauge
stainless steel.
The lower portion of the panel shall contain the controls for all of the inlets and outlets. The controls for all
of the drains shall be located on the side panels. All inlet and outlet controls shall be Class 1 lever type
locking top mount controls.
Handles for the top mount controls shall be chrome plated zinc twist-lock handles with a recessed area for 2"
diameter round identifications tags.
