Emergency Air - Supply System — Bid Specifications <br />General Cylinder Requirements <br />The purpose of this bid specification is to establish the minimum requirements for an auxiliary <br />air source to be used by Rapid Intervention Teams. The air source shall consist of the following <br />components: (1) a carrying bag; (2) external pressure gauge; (3) an audible low - pressure alarm; <br />(4) a Universal Air Connection high - pressure emergency airline that will function with any <br />manufacturers NFPA 1981, 2002 compliant or newer self - contained breathing apparatus; (5) a <br />low- pressure airline hose assembly with a low - pressure manifold that has a Hansen male and <br />female quick disconnect and additional ports to allow the use of other SCBA manufacturer's <br />low- pressure fittings; (6) a RIT Style facepiece and (7) a pressure regulator. <br />Operational Requirements <br />Carrying Bag <br />1. The carrying bag material shall be a highly visible orange and resistant to heat and <br />flame. <br />2. The carrying bag shall include reflective striping to increase visibility of the <br />product in low -light conditions. <br />3. The carrying bag shall be equipped with ten (10) d- rings. <br />4. Located on the top of the carrying bag shall be a tool pouch. <br />5. Located on the top of the carrying bag shall be a rope pouch capable of holding 75 <br />feet of 3/8" rope. <br />6. The length of the shoulder strap shall be adjustable. <br />7. The shoulder strap shall be equipped with two (2) seat belt buckles. <br />8. The shoulder strap shall be equipped with two (2) non - locking carabineers. <br />9. The carrying bag shall have three flap openings: (1) high - pressure access; (2) <br />low- pressure access and (3) cylinder access. <br />10. The tab of the low- pressure access flap shall be differentiated from the tab of the <br />high - pressure access flap through a tactile grip that can easily be detectable while <br />wearing gloves. <br />11. The carrying bag shall be equipped with a highly - durable, low- friction skid plate. <br />External Pressure Gauge <br />1. The gauge face shall be luminescent for easier reading in low -light conditions. <br />2. The external pressure gauge shall be equipped with pressure indicator light <br />emitting diodes (LED): (2) green LEDs when cylinder pressure is 100% to 76 %; <br />(1) green LED when cylinder pressure is 75% to 51 %; (1) amber LED when <br />cylinder pressure is 50% to 26 %; and (1) blinking red LED when cylinder <br />pressure is below 25 %. An additional orange LED shall be included to indicate <br />low battery alarm. <br />10 <br />
