Description
The United States Air Force is seeking information from businesses to determine their ability to provide a mobile breathing air compressor trailer. The trailer is designed to support fire and emergency operations by providing a safe and reliable source of clean breathing air. It must be a self-contained, trailer-mounted unit that produces, stores, and dispenses high-pressure breathing air, and must meet specific requirements such as NFPA 1901 2016 edition compliance and diesel/electric dual drive system. The unit must also come with all required connections to connect to a wall electrical outlet for shore power. Key features of the trailer include a hydraulic surge brake system, bulk fill pneumatic logic, and an electronic moisture-monitoring system. The trailer must be towable by approved department vehicles and must weigh 5500 pounds or less.
Some key points to consider are:
• The trailer must be designed and built by a reputable manufacturer, such as BAUER.
• The unit must meet specific requirements for diesel and electric motor power.
• The trailer must have a high gloss powder coat paint finish and a formed structural steel frame.
• The unit must come with a spare tire and wheel chocks with fender well storage.
• The trailer must be delivered to Travis Air Force Fire Department between 90-120 days.
• The vendor must provide system start-up and orientation for fire personnel by a factory-certified technician.
