Companies may bid for either or both parts. Each part below will be <br />awarded separately. <br />Part A describes equipment and labor needed to upfit complete pick-up trucks, as well as truck and van <br />chasses, into complete vehicles able to complete work needed by user groups. <br />Part B describes equipment and labor needed to upfit cargo vans into useful vehicles to complete work <br />needed by user groups. <br />There is no guarantee the City will provide a certain amount of equipment or vehicles to be installed in <br />any given year. This is due to the fluctuating nature of the City’s vehicle replacement policy and economic <br />climate. <br />2.2 INTENT OF SPECIFICATIONS <br />The apparent silence or omission in the specifications as to any detail of the work to be done or materials <br />to be furnished means that the best general practice shall prevail and that material and workmanship of <br />the best quality shall be used. The specifications shall be interpreted on this basis. <br />2.3 CITY OF EVERETT FLEET <br />Annually, the City of Everett purchases several incomplete truck and van chassis, pick-up trucks, and <br />empty but complete cargo vans destined to be made into service vehicles. These vehicles require <br />upfitting into useful vehicles. With this upfitting, many City vehicles could be used for daily operations. <br />Due to the critical nature of providing City services, certain department vehicles may be prioritized. <br />2.4 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS <br />• All components must be new, unused, up-to-date models. <br />• Six (6) complete sets of keys for all locks must be provided with the unit. <br />• Each unit must include all warranty, service, and user manuals furnished by all component <br />manufacturers. <br />• If applicable, hydraulic filters must be easily accessible and replaceable without removing or <br />disconnecting other components. If necessary, filters may be remotely mounted to meet this <br />requirement. Spin-on filters are required for fluid service unless specified otherwise or approved by <br />the City of Everett Fleet Program Manager or designee. All filters shall be heavy-duty and sized for <br />severe service. <br />• Hose, wire and tube routing shall not impede normal maintenance and adjustment of the unit. Hoses, <br />wires and tubes must be securely and neatly positioned and secured with non-corrosive clamps.
