3. Scope of Work
3.1. General Scope of Services
A. General. The Contractor shall furnish all necessary 
supervision, labor, tools, parts and equipment required to 
perform inspections, maintenance, repairs and testing of fire 
apparatus. All services performed by the Contractor shall 
meet the National Fire Protection Association Standard 
(NFPA) 1911, Standard for the Inspection, Maintenance, 
Testing, and Retirement of In- Service Automotive Fire 
Apparatus, current edition. All services provided by the 
Contractor shall be consistent with industry best practices; 
meet all applicable federal, state and local standards and 
follow all manufacturers’ recommendations. It is the 
expectation of the City, as described herein, that the 
Contractor shall provide superior customer service and timely 
maintenance and repair services to correct deficiencies and 
return the vehicle to an in-service status.
B. Facilities and Work Sites. The Contractor shall perform 
services, including inspection, maintenance, testing and 
repair, at the City worksite where the apparatus is located, the 
Contractor’s service facility or roadside as needed. The 
Contractor shall work with the City Representative to 
determine the most suitable location where services will be 
performed. If the apparatus/vehicle is to be serviced at the 
Contractor’s service facility, it shall be the responsibility of the 
Contractor to arrange for pick-up and delivery. The current list

3.2. Maintenance Scheduling and Completion
of fire apparatus is attached Attachment A-Fleet Details. No 
apparatus shall be taken from a City worksite without prior 
approval from the City Representative.
C. Fire Apparatus Security. The Contractor is responsible for the 
security of any apparatus in its custody. The Contractor’s 
custody includes any on-site work activity at a City facility by 
the Contractor; the Contractor’s transport of any apparatus to 
the Contractor’s place of business or other off-site facility; the 
return transport of the apparatus to its assigned location; and 
any period that the unit is located at the Contractor’s place of 
business or other off-site facility. The Contractor is 
responsible for all costs associated with correcting damage 
attributable to the Contractor while the unit is in the 
Contractor’s custody. While in the Contractor’s custody, 
apparatus shall be stored in a secured location.
D. Contractor's Service Truck. The Contractor shall have a 
service truck operation sufficient to support the on-site 
inspection and maintenance, and emergency road call 
requirements of the Contract. The truck should be outfitted 
with tools, equipment and parts sufficient to support the spot 
repair of fire apparatus. The technicians operating the trucks 
should be certified as required by the Contract, and capable 
of making repair and logistic decisions in road call and on-site 
repair call situations.
The Contractor warrants that its facility complies with all applicable local, 
state and federal regulations and will remain compliant during the Contract 
term. The City may inspect the facility and its operations at any time during 
the Contract term during normal business hours.
A. Scheduling. The Contractor shall notify the City Representative 
when apparatus is due for regularly scheduled inspection, 
maintenance, or testing. The City Representative shall then contact 
the Contractor to schedule apparatus due for service. The location 
at which services will be performed shall be determined between the 
City Representative and the Contractor at the time when service is 
scheduled and confirmed. If services are to be performed at a City 
worksite, the Contractor shall provide the City Representative with

the time at which the Contractor’s service personnel will arrive to 
begin the service and an approximate time in which the service will 
be completed. If services will be performed at the Contractor’s 
facility, the Contractor shall be responsible for pick-up and return of 
the apparatus. If services will be performed at the Contractor’s 
facility, the apparatus shall be picked up no later than 0800 hours on 
the day that the service has been scheduled. For scheduled routine 
service, the City Representative shall provide the Contractor with a 
list of non-priority repairs that need attention in addition to the 
scheduled service at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the 
scheduled service.
B. Notifications and Communication. Upon arrival at a City worksite, 
the Contractor shall check in with the on-duty supervisor and 
provide proper identification and state the purpose of the visit. Upon 
completion of on-site services, the Contractor shall check out with 
the on-duty supervisor and provide a report of services completed, 
deficiencies found, deficiencies repaired, deficiencies that require 
further attention and the status of the apparatus (in service or out of 
service). In the event that the on-duty supervisor is not available at 
the completion of services, a paper form shall be left on the driver's 
seat of the apparatus indicating what services were completed, 
deficiencies found, deficiencies repaired, deficiencies that require 
further attention and the status of the apparatus (in service or out of 
service). Apparatus shall be secured prior the Contractor leaving the 
site.
C. Inspection and Maintenance Completion. The Contractor is 
responsible for the timely inspection and maintenance of fire 
apparatus, and the return of each unit to an in-service status. With 
the exception of Priority and Non-Priority Repairs (see definitions 
below), it is the expectation of the City that the Contractor will have 
readily available any routine parts, fluids, testing equipment, etc. 
that may be required to complete inspection and maintenance 
services at the time service is scheduled in an effort to reduce out of 
service and down time of the City's apparatus. The City’s 
performance standards for completing various work activities are as 
follows:
a. “Service Schedule A” (Preventative Maintenance): See 
Attachment B- Service Schedule. Preventative 
maintenance listed on Service Schedule A is to be 
performed twice per year. If performed on-site, services

shall be completed within eight (8) hours. If performed 
at the Contractor’s facility, services shall be completed 
within three (3) business days. If deficiencies are 
encountered that will require additional time to repair, 
the Contractor shall notify the Fire Department 
Representative immediately.
b. “Service Schedule B” (Testing and Preventative 
Maintenance):See Attachment B- Service Schedule. 
 Testing and preventative maintenance listed on 
Service Schedule B is to be performed twice per year, 
approximately ninety (90) days after Schedule A 
maintenance is completed. This work shall be 
performed at the Contractor’s facility unless prior 
arrangements are made with the Fire Department 
Representative or designee. The services shall be 
completed within five (5) business days. If deficiencies 
are encountered that will require additional time to 
repair, the Contractor shall notify the Fire Department 
Representative immediately.
c. "Annual Performance and Certification Testing": Testing 
listed as Annual Performance and Certification Testing 
is to be performed once per year, in conjunction with 
either Service Schedule A or B maintenance. This work 
shall be performed at the Contractor's facility unless 
prior arrangements are made with the City 
Representative. The services shall be completed in 
concurrently with either Service Schedule A or B 
maintenance within five (5) business days. If 
deficiencies are encountered that will require additional 
time to repair, the Contractor shall notify the Fire 
Department Representative immediately.
d. "Priority Repairs": If priority/emergency repairs are 
performed on-site, the contractor shall be on site within 
two (2) hours and services shall be completed within 
eight (8) hours. If priority/emergency repairs are 
performed at the Contractor’s facility, the contractor 
shall pick up the vehicle within three (2) hours and 
services shall be completed within two (2) business 
days. If additional time is needed for repairs the

3.3. Level of Service to be Provided
Contractor shall notify the Fire Department 
Representative or the designated representative 
immediately. Priority/emergency repairs shall be 
determined following NFPA 1911 out of service criteria 
and industry standards.
e. "Non-Priority Repairs": Non-priority repairs shall be 
resolved within seven (7) business days upon 
notification to the Contractor. The City Representative 
shall determine non-priority repair criteria following 
NFPA 1911 out-of-service criteria and industry 
standards. The Contractor and the Fire Department 
Representative will determine where these types of 
repairs will be performed. If additional time is needed 
for repairs the Contractor shall notify the Fire 
Department Representative immediately.
F. Rescheduling. City fire apparatus may be unavailable for 
inspection or maintenance (due to emergency usage 
requirements) despite proper pre-notification and scheduling 
by the Contractor. In that event, the Contractor is asked to 
reschedule the unit for inspection or maintenance; the new 
date and time should not exceed five (5) business days from 
the originally scheduled date and time. The revised schedule 
shall be confirmed with the City Representative. The 
Contractor may invoice the City for a rescheduling fee only if 
the service had been properly scheduled and Contractor’s 
technician had responded to the City's facility for the service 
only to find the apparatus was unavailable due to an 
emergency operational requirement.
The following establishes the level of services to be provided by the 
Contractor. The Contractor shall work with the City to determine the level 
of inspection and preventative maintenance and the required service 
interval for each piece of fire apparatus that the City operates. The criteria 
for each level of inspection and preventative maintenance shall be based 
on compliance with NFPA 1911, apparatus and component manufacturer’s

most severe service recommendation, generally accepted best industry 
practices and any applicable federal, state and local standards. The 
Contractor shall also provide:
 
A. "Service Schedule A":  See Attachment B- Service 
Schedule.  Includes inspection and preventative 
maintenance that be required for all apparatus components 
and systems.
B. "Service Schedule B": See Attachment B- Service 
Schedule.  Includes inspection and preventative 
maintenance that may be required for all apparatus 
components and systems.

apparatus has been placed into an out-of-service status due 
to mechanical breakdown or component failure. Calls for 
priority repairs may occur during and/or after normal business 
hours.
E. Non-Priority Repairs. Non-Priority repair status indicates the 
apparatus has a deficiency that needs to be corrected, 
however does not meet the criteria set forth in NFPA 1911 to 
warrant the apparatus be placed into an out-of-service status. 
Non-Priority Repairs will be handled by the Contractor during 
normal business hours. Non-Priority Repairs may be deferred 
to the next inspection and preventative maintenance service 
to be corrected at the discretion of the City Representative.
F. Inspections Handled by the City. Inspection, preventative 
maintenance, repairs and testing required for loose 
equipment (i.e., nozzles, hose, ground ladders, etc.) will be 
handled by the City and will not be the responsibility of the 
Contractor.
G. Documentation. Anytime services are completed on City 
apparatus, the results, findings and actions taken shall be
