1. Description of Work:

1.1 Project Overview 

A repair or replacement is necessary for the Flightline Crash Firetruck 2008 P-19 Oshkosh 1,500-Gallon Aircraft Rescue & Fire Fighting (ARFF), Serial Number: 10TBKAK168S104292 power divider assembly. Specifically, the proposed work includes the removal, inspection, and repair or replacement of the Power Divider assembly.

1.2 Technical Background and Justification for Repair/Replacement

During routine scheduled maintenance performed by Vehicle Maintenance personnel, a critical internal failure was identified within the vehicle's power divider. Diagnostics revealed the following discrepancies:

Metallic Contamination: Upon draining Power Divider system fluid, substantial metallic shavings & debris were found adhered to the magnetic drain plug, indicating excessive wear or component disintegration.

Internal Component Failure: Subsequent removal of the power divider oil pan revealed fragmented spring assemblies.

Based on these findings, a complete removal, teardown, and inspection of the Power Divider is mandatory to prevent catastrophic system failure, personnel safety mishaps, and to restore the vehicle to full-mission-capable status.

1.3 Primary Objective

The primary objective of this requirement is the complete restoration or replacement of the Power Divider to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) standards. The Contractor shall ensure that all internal debris is cleared and that all failed, compromised components, and fasteners (i.e. bolts, screws, nuts, etc.) are replaced with genuine OEM parts to ensure the reliability of the ARFF mission-critical pumping and propulsion systems.
