The document is a specification for a truck-mounted spraying equipment for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The document includes general clauses and conditions, as well as specific specifications for the equipment.
The equipment must be the latest model in current production and of high quality. Used, shopworn, demonstrator, prototype, or discontinued models are not acceptable. The respondent (manufacturer) must submit detailed specifications and literature for the equipment they propose to furnish. The unit should be completely assembled and adjusted, ready for continuous operation upon delivery. All necessary parts should be included, conforming to industry standards. The unit should meet or exceed all safety, health, lighting, and noise regulations and standards in effect at the time of manufacture.
The document also emphasizes the importance of environmental impact and encourages manufacturers to comply with marking and recycling practices for plastic parts. Manufacturers are also encouraged to adopt ISO standards for quality management. Measurements will be given in both the English and metric systems, with the English system measurements superseding any conflicts.
The specifications for the truck-mounted sprayer unit include a water storage and pumping system, sprayer assemblies, drift control system, and a chemical injection system with a computerized application control console. The water tank should have a minimum capacity of 550 gallons and be made of UV stabilized opaque polyethylene. It should be mounted on a flatbed truck body with adequate support. The tank should have removable anti-surge baffles, sight gauges, and brass ball valves for drainage. A non-collapsible suction hose should be connected to the tank and water pump. The tank should have a positive locking lid and a fill line with an anti-siphon air gap for hydant filling. The water tank fill opening should be sealable to prevent splash during transit and vented to ensure proper pressure regulation.
Overall, the document provides detailed specifications for the truck-mounted spraying equipment required by TxDOT, ensuring quality, safety, and environmental considerations.
