4.1 Scope of Work:
4.1.1 All garments produced shall meet or exceed the criteria set forth in the current
edition of NFPA 1971, “Protective Clothing for Structural Fire Fighting”, FED-
OSHA CFR 1910, Subpart L, OHSA 29 CFR, Part 1910.1030.
4.1.2 All components and composites used in the construction of

compliance to NFPA 1971. The label of the third party tester shall
denote certification.
4.1.3 The manufacturer shall be registered to the ISO Standard 9001 to assure a
satisfactory level of quality.
4.2 FIREFIGHTER HELMET
4.2.1. Helmets manufactured in accordance with this specification are designed to meet
the requirements of NFPA 1971-2013 standard for firefighter helmets.
4.2.2. Cairns Invader 664 helmet: NO EXCEPTIONS, DEVIATIONS OR DELETIONS
TO THIS SPECIFICATION WILL BE ACCEPTED.
4.2.3. Manufacturer’s Warranty: Cairns products and/or components furnished under
this order carry a Lifetime Warranty against material defects and/or faulty
workmanship, with the exception of the helmet shell, which carries a 5-year shell
replacement warranty.
4.2.4. The Invader 664 helmets shall be of the Modern Fire Helmet Style. The shell shall
have a down-sloping brim to enhance water shed. The radius of the juncture of the
brim and crown shall be no less than 0.1875” to maximize deflection of debris
and impact protection.
4.2.5. The shell material shall be a DuraGlas® composite, consisting of a high-
temperature-, flame-, and chip-resistant “through-colored” thermoset resin,
reinforced with 1” and 2” chopped fiberglass, which is compression-molded to
form a one-piece shell.
4.2.6. The exterior of the shell shall be completely coated with a color pigmented, high
gloss, abrasion, high heat and chemical resistant paint finish. The shell color and
matched paint finish shall be available in the standard colors of white, red, black,
and yellow.
4.2.7. The shell dimensions (w/ edge trim) shall be 14.00” in length, 11.13” in width
and have a crown depth of 5.9”. The shell shall have a nominal wall thickness of
0.065”.
4.2.8. The shell shall have black, or white*, high-temperature, flame-resistant, flexible
edge trim composed of an aluminum-cored, thermoplastic rubber (TPR). The
edge-trim is secured around the entire brim of the helmet by crimping the
aluminum core, and secured at the mating ends with a high-temperature adhesive
and clamped by the helmet hangar clip at the edge of the rear brim.
4.2.9. The shell shall have a helmet hanger comprised of a ¾” nickel-plated “D” ring
and a stainless steel clip. The helmet hanger shall be attached to the center rear of
the brim.
4.2.10. The helmet shall include an impact liner, which is comprised of a rigid-cell, high-
temperature urethane foam cap attached to a flame-resistant thermoplastic PPO
inner liner. The impact liner shall be modular and field-removable for periodic
inspection of the foam’s integrity. The impact liner is incorporated to provide
increased thermal and impact protection.
4.2.11. The helmet shall consist of a 6-way head suspension system, attached to the
impact cap. The head suspension system comprises three (3) fixed 0.75” wide
nylon straps mounted at six points on the impact liner and fastened at their
intersection to form the 6-way overhead strap assembly. The straps are attached to
the impact cap by means of a rigid plastic strap that locks the straps into a routed
annular groove in the impact cap.
4.2.12. The size of the headband may be adjusted to fit the wearer’s head by means of a
ratchet adjustment system. The headband shall have a head size range of 6-3/8 to
8-3/8, adjustable in 1/8 increments. The head band is attached to the sides of the
impact cap liner by four (4) flexible retention tabs. The rear ratchet arms shall
have three (3) adjustable positions so that the angle of the ratchet may be set to
accommodate the nape of the wearer’s head. The headband height shall be
adjustable at the front of the helmet via a hook and loop system to provide
additional comfort to the wearer.
4.2.13. The helmet shall have a comfort liner, which consists of a headband cushion liner
and a ratchet pad, which are removable. Both components are produced from a
foam-core laminate system, which is composed of a soft black flame-resistant
flannel material against the user’s head and backed by a soft loop material which
will be secured to the headband and the ratchet with hook fastener. The comfort
liner is machine-washable.
4.2.14. The chinstrap shall be constructed of three (3) pieces (or sections) of 3/4” wide,
spun- by a high-temperature, super-tough,
thermoplastic quick-release buckle on the left side of the helmet, and by a cast
zinc postman’s slide buckle on the right side of the helmet.
4.2.15. The chinstrap is attached at either end of the impact cap by means of the tubular
plastic ring, joined at the ends by an elastomeric tube that locks the chinstrap into
a routed annular groove in the impact cap.
4.2.16. The long middle section, with the female half of the quick-release buckle sewn to
the left end, shall pass through the postman’s slide buckle on the right, and
include hook-and-loop fastener for stowage of extra strap. The middle section
shall be a minimum of 23.0” in length and the total length of the chinstrap shall be
35.0” at full extension, end to end.
4.2.17. Shell Release Provisions: The impact liner, complete with suspension system and
chinstrap assembly (retained as described above) shall be retained to the helmet
shell by means of two (2) thermoplastic retention clips mounted under the
faceshield pivot hardware, and by four (4) pieces of hook-and-pile fastener
sections between the impact liner and helmet shell in the crown area. This design
will enable the shell to be released from the helmet when impacted from below
the brim, reducing the chance of being injured by the chinstrap, and leaving the
impact cap on the wearer’s head for continued thermal and impact protection.
4.2.18. The helmet provides for ear and neck protection with a 6.5” wide, 19.0” long,
full-cut earlap. The earlap consists of a PBI/Kevlar outer-shell, and a flame
resistant inner-liner. The earlap shall be secured to the impact liner by pieces of
hook and pile fastener in no less than five (5) locations.
4.2.19. The earlap is machine washable. The ear and neck protector shall be removable
without interfering with the overhead strap assembly in any way and without
removing any part of the helmet’s suspension.
4.2.20. The Invader 664 shall have an integral visor system that retracts between the
helmet shell and impact cap. The visor system shall be a wrap-around design, 4.5”
high and 8.25” long. The lens shall be optically corrected to eliminate distortion.
The lens of the visor system shall be available in clear or Tuffshield (yellow
tinted) standard colors. Optional Tinted (Gray Smoked) and Mirrored finish
lenses shall also be available. The lens shall be able to be quickly replaced
without the use of tools.
4.2.21. Retro-Reflective Trim: The Invader 664 shall have four bar-shaped pieces of
Scotchlite trim around the exterior of the crown of the helmet shell. There shall be
an additional piece of bar-shaped trim on the exterior slope of the rear brim for
maximum daytime and nighttime visibility.
4.2.22. The Invader 664 shall meet the requirements of NFPA 1971-2013 edition, US-
OSHA 1910.156, and CAL-OSHA. Response to this specification shall include a
current NFPA 1971-2013 Certificate of Conformance test report from an
accredited test facility for the helmet offered. This certification testing is
conducted annually as per NFPA requirements.
4.2.23. Upon the customer’s request, training will be provided, explaining the proper
maintenance, repair, and retirement of the helmet.

PROPOSED SCHEDULE OF M/WBE PARTICIPATION
All M/WBEs listed must be certified as a minority-owned or women-owned business by the City of Savannah or a federally-recognized or state-level certifying agency (such as USDOT, State DOT, SBA 8(a) or GMSDC) that utilizes certification standards comparable to the City of Savannah prior to the due date of this bid. Other business certifications that do not specify majority woman or minority ownership may not be substituted. Proof of M/WBE certification from the certifying agency is required to accompany the bid. A firm that has submitted an application for M/WBE certification but has not been certified is not qualified as a certified M/WBE and will not be recognized as such during the City’s evaluation process. To expedite verification, please provide accurate phone numbers for all M/WBEs listed and ensure firms understand contact will be made following bid submittal.
Name of Proposer: Event No. Project Title: NOTE: Unless certified through the City of Savannah M/WBE Program, proof of M/WBE certification must be attached for all firms listed.
The undersigned will enter into a formal agreement with the M/WBE Subcontractors/Proposers identified herein for work listed in this schedule, conditioned upon executing a contract with the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Savannah. The Prime’s subcontractor that subcontracts work must enter into a formal agreement with the tier subcontractor identified herein for work listed in this schedule. The Prime may count toward the goal any tier of M/WBE subcontractors and/or suppliers that will be utilized in the contract work. However, when an M/WBE subcontracts part of the work, the value of the subcontracted work may only be counted toward the goal if the tier subcontractor is an M/WBE. Any work an M/WBE firm subcontracts to a non-M/WBE firm will not count toward the M/WBE goal. It is the responsibility of the Prime contractor to advise all M/WBEs of this requirement and to ensure compliance by subcontractors.
