TECHINCAL SPECIFICATIONS
FOR A TVI 3-LINE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
DECONTAMINATION SHELTER SYSTEM
INTENT
It is the purpose of this specification to provide for the purchase of new equipment for
decontamination at emergency incidents.
The City of Vernon has evaluated different types of decontamination products and has
determined that the following items are best suited for the departments needs in safety,
quality, performance, and standardization.
In comparing proposals, consideration will not be confined to price only. The successful
bidder will be one whose product is judged shall best serve the interests of the City of
Vernon when price, product, safety, quality and delivery are considered. The City of
Vernon reserves the right to reject any or all bids or any part thereof, and to waive any
minor technicalities from the specifications. A contract will be awarded to the bidder
submitting the lowest qualified and responsible bid meeting the requirements for this
specification.
EQUIVALENT PRODUCT
Bids will be accepted for the consideration on any product that is equal or superior to the
items specified. Decisions of equivalency will be at the sole interpretation of the City. A
blanket statement that equipment proposed will meet all the requirements will not be
sufficient to establish equivalency. Original manufacture's brochures of the proposed unit
are to be submitted with the proposal.
All modifications made to the standard production unit described in the manufacture's
brochures must be certified by the manufacturer and submitted with the bid, or the bid
will be deemed "non -responsive" and rejected without further review. Bidder must be
prepared to demonstrate a unit similar to the one proposed, if requested.
INTERPRETATIONS
In order to be fair to all bidders, no oral interpretations will be given to any bidder as to
the meaning of the specification documents or any part thereof. Every request for such a
consideration shall be made in writing to the City of Vernon. Based on such inquiry, the
City may choose to issue an Addendum.
GENERAL
The specification herein states the minimum requirements of the City. All bids must be
regular in every respect. Unauthorized conditions, limitations, or provisions shall be
cause for rejection. The City of Vernon will consider as "irregular" or "non -responsive"
any bid not prepared and submitted in accordance with the document and specification, or
any bid lacking sufficient technical literature to enable the Department to make a
reasonable determination of compliance to the specification.
It shall be the bidder's responsibility to carefully examine each item of he specification.
Failure to offer a completed bid or failure to respond to each section of the technical
specification will cause the proposal to be rejected without review as "non -responsive".

section. Deceit in responding to the specification will be cause for rejection.
