Specifications include, but are not limited to:All component parts furnished shall be new, unused and the same as the manufacturer's current production model. 1. The machine shall be capable of removal debris including bottles, cans, grease, sand, sludge, stones, and other debris from sanitary sewers, storm sewers, and pumping stations by the flushing action of a high-pressure water jet and the vacuum system. 2. The machine shall be equipped with a self-contained water supply as the water source for the high-pressure pump. The high-pressure water pump shall be powered by the truck chassis engine as the power source. 3. The machine shall include an air conveying (vacuum) system, powered by the truck chassis engine. The system shall provide for the simultaneous removal of debris flushed to the manhole or pumping station by the high-pressure water system and shall successfully remove debris from sumps, manholes, wetwells, etc. 4. The machine shall be capable of being operated by one person. The operator’s controls for the high-pressure water pump, hose reel, and the vacuum shall be located at the front the machine. The unit must be a current 2018 or newer production model. 1. The debris storage body shall be cylindrical with a minimum usable liquid capacity of 10 cubic yards. 2. The debris body shall be fixtured on an independent frame, separate from the chassis frame, and mounting via a three-point mounting system to allow flexing to occur, without causing frame damage. 3. The body shall be constructed of corrosion and abrasion resistant, high strength steel that is a minimum of 1/4 inch in thickness. 4. The rear door shall be full-opening, hinged at the top, and shall be equipped with a replaceable neoprene type seal to prevent leakage. The door shall be hydraulically operated to control sewage from splashing. The hydraulic cylinder(s) shall allow the door to be held open in any position from fully closed to fully open. 5. A minimum 6 inch diameter knife valve (fully open blade type) and 15 foot of 6 inch lay flat hose are to be provided on the rear door to permit the draining of excess liquids from the tank. The hose shall be attached to the valve with a quick coupler. The valve handle shall be able to be reached and operated from ground level. 6. A debris deflector shield shall be located in the tank in such a manner that it will deflect material from the rear door preventing wear to the debris tank. 7. The debris body shall have a minimum of 4 door locks that lock hydraulically. The hydraulic locks shall be controlled by a hydraulic cylinder. Each lock shall be fully and independently adjustable. To insure the safety of workers during maintenance, two rear door props shall be provided to secure the debris door in the open position. 8. The debris body shall be dumped by raising the body to a minimum of a 50-degree angle, by using a forward mounted, power up and down hydraulic dump cylinder to assure stability during the dumping cycle. The cylinder shall have a lift capacity of 56,000 lbs. 9. Dump controls shall be located well forward of the dump area for operator safety. 10. There shall be a minimum of a 5 year parts and labor warranty on the debris body. 11. A level indicator shall be supplied to show the level of the water/debris in the debris body. 12. A splash shield will be provided for the rear door to direct liquids and debris away from the chassis. The splash shield shall extend three-quarters of the way up the sides to prevent side spraying while dumping liquids when the rear door is opened. 13. The debris body shall have hydraulic or spring loaded fold down pipe racks or pipe carousels. They will be constructed of tubular steel. The pipe racks shall hold a minimum 8 sections of piping. The racks shall be designed to accommodate pipe sizes ranging from 3 foot to 7 foot lengths in each rack position. The racks and piping must be accessible from the ground.
