TITLE: Approval of an Agreement for the Purchase of Three Fire Engines
ABSTRACT:
Emergency Vehicles are a vital part of the service delivery for the Newport Beach Fire
Department. The Fire Department responds to over 10,000 service calls annually. A
Fire Engine Pumper is staffed with life safety personnel and equipment to provide
emergency medical services and fire protection to the individuals and property of the
community. Fire and Municipal Operations Departments developed a fire engine
specification that took into account the unique features of our community, and sought
competitive proposals for the purchase of new units. New fire engines will replace
aging units and provide a.higher level of service while reducing costs and staff time for
maintenance.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of an agreement with Pierce Manufacturing, Incorporated of Appleton,
Wisconsin for the purchase of three 2013 Pierce Fire Engines for a total cost of
$1,742,368.32
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
The current adopted budget includes funding for this purchase.

DISCUSSION:
The Fire Department operates a fleet of 11 fire engines units. Eight of the units are in
service 24 hours per day, seven days per week, and are staffed at each of the eight City
fire stations. Furthermore, one or two additional fire engines may be deployed as
necessary when there are significant events within the City or crews are required to
respond to mutual aid requests for wildfires. The units and ages of the 11 engines
currently in service are as follows:

The City Vehicle /Equipment Guidelines (Council Policy F -9) states that fire engines
should normally be replaced after 10 years.
The FY 12 -13 Budget includes funds for the purchase of three fire engines. To that
end, the Fire Apparatus Committee, consisting of staff from both the Fire and Municipal
Operations Departments developed specifications based upon the needs of the Fire
Department. City engines in use have unique length and width dimensions due to
maneuverability on narrow streets and height dimensions to meet limitations in some
Fire Stations.
The Finance Department released a Request for Proposals (RFP) in January. On
February 12, 2013, a mandatory pre - proposal meeting was held, and three potential
proposers were in attendance. Three proposals were received prior to the March 6,

May 14, 2013
Page 3
2013 due date, from Pierce Manufacturing, Inc., of Appleton, WI, KME Kovatch of
Nesquehoning, PA, and Emergency Vehicle Group, Inc., of Anaheim.
An evaluation panel consisting of members of the Fire Apparatus Committee and
facilitated by the Finance Department met to evaluate the proposals. Following the
evaluations, the panel recommended the Pierce engines proposed by Pierce
Manufacturing, Inc. The base cost of each unit is $580,789.44, including tax.
During the evaluation process, each member of the evaluation panel was provided a
copy of the proposals as well as an evaluation matrix to score the proposals. The
criteria used for evaluating the proposals were provided in the RFP and described in the
following tables:

Page 4
Aaareaate Proaosal Scores
Of the three (3) proposers, Pierce Manufacturing, Inc., was unanimously scored as the
most qualified manufacturer and apparatus for this project. The evaluation panel scored
this proposer exceptionally high in the areas of technical functionality and qualifications
and experience. The references provided by this proposer were also impressive,
including contacts from the City of San Diego and Kern County that highly
recommended Pierce Manufacturing fire apparatus.
Apparatus size and dimensions was a key specification during the evaluation process.
In the apparatus specifications the City listed a maximum height of 111" and length of
364" due to the configuration of certain fire stations and the City's demographics when
maneuvering in congested areas such as our islands and alleyways. Only Pierce
Manufacturing, Inc. met these specifications which are vital to the operations of the Fire
Department. There were also other specifications that only the Pierce engines
conformed to without additional modifications. Each manufacturer has the ability to
custom build to the City's specification with regard to sizing and dimensions. Although
Pierce's proposed pricing is 5.7% higher than KME, Pierce met all of the requested
apparatus specifications with no deviations or exceptions.
It should be noted that an additional engine is proposed for purchase in the FY 13 -14
Budget. If that engine is approved in the FY 13 -14 Budget, staff will return in July with
another agreement for the purchase of an engine from this same RFP process.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will
not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378)
of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it
has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or
indirectly.

PIERCE MANUFACTURING, INC.
This Purchase Agreement ( "Agreement ") is entered into as of this 14th day of
May, 2013 ( "Effective Date "), by and between the CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, a
California municipal corporation and charter city ( "City "), and PIERCE
MANUFACTURING, INC., a Wisconsin corporation ( "Vendor"), whose principal place of
business is 2600 American Drive, Appleton, Wisconsin 54914.
RECITALS
A. City is a municipal corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws
of the State of California with the power to carry on its business as it is now being
conducted under the statutes of the State of California and the Charter of City.
B. City requires three (3) new Pierce 1500 GPM triple combination pumpers for Fire
Department purposes ( "Equipment ") as further described in RFP No. 13 -15,
which is incorporated herein by this reference, and as set forth in Exhibit A, which
is attached and incorporated herein by this reference.
C. Vendor has carefully reviewed and evaluated the specifications set forth by the
City for the Equipment and has committed to deliver the Equipment required for
the price specified in this Agreement within Two Hundred Ten (210) calendar
days commencing upon execution of this Agreement.
D. City has solicited and received a proposal from Vendor's agent, has evaluated
the expertise of Vendor, and desires to submit an order for the Equipment under
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties
and covenants, and other terms and conditions as set forth herein, Vendor and City
(each a "Party" and together the "Parties ") agree as follows:
1. TERM
The Term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall
terminate on July 31, 2014 unless terminated earlier as set forth herein.
2. COMPENSATION
2.1 City shall choose the discounted purchase price as more fully described in
the Proposal for Furnishing Fire Apparatus attached hereto as Exhibit B and
incorporated herein by reference. The purchase price for Equipment, including all sales
taxes, shall not exceed One Million Seven Hundred Forty -Two Thousand Three
Hundred Sixty -Eight Dollars and 32/100 ($1,742,368.32) ( "Discounted Purchase
Price "). Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 7 relating to City's self - accrual of sales
Pierce Manufacturing, Inc.

taxes, the City shall pay Vendor Discounted Purchase Price in full upon execution of
this Agreement.
2.2 Vendor agrees to accept the Discounted Purchase Price as full
remuneration for delivery to City of the Equipment. The Discounted Purchase Price
shall be referred to as "Total Compensation."
3. ADMINISTRATION
This Agreement will be administered by the City's Municipal Operations
Department. The Deputy Municipal Operations Director, or designee, shall be the
Purchase Administrator and shall have the authority to act for City under this
Agreement. The Purchase Administrator or designee shall represent City in all matters
pertaining to the services to be rendered pursuant to this Agreement.
4. DELIVERY
4.1 Delivery to City of the Equipment shall be made within two hundred ten
(210) calendar days from the execution of the Agreement.
4.2 Delivery shall be made to the City's Yard at 592 Superior Avenue,
Newport Beach, CA 92663, or such other location as may be designated by City in
writing. Time of delivery is of the essence in this Agreement. City reserves the right to
refuse any Equipment and to cancel all or any part of the Equipment not conforming to
applicable specifications, samples or descriptions. City shall receive a pro -rata refund
for any Equipment cancelled under this Agreement, within thirty (30) calendar days of
City's cancellation. Acceptance of any part of the order for Equipment shall not bind
City to accept future shipments nor deprive City of the right to return Equipment already
accepted at Vendor's expense. Over shipments and under shipments of Equipment
shall be only as agreed to in writing by City. Delivery shall not be deemed to be
complete until all Equipment have actually been received and accepted in writing by the
City.
4.3 Vendor shall submit all requests for extensions of time for delivery in
writing to the City Purchase Administrator not later than ten (10) calendar days after the
start of the condition that purportedly causes a delay. The Purchase Administrator shall
review all such requests and may, at his /her sole discretion, grant reasonable time
extensions for unforeseeable delays that are beyond Vendor's control.
4.4 The Parties agree that it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine
and fix the actual damages that City will sustain should the Vendor fail to complete the
delivery as called for in this Agreement. Should Vendor fail to complete the delivery as
called for in this Agreement, Vendor agrees to the deduction of liquidated damages in
the sum of One Hundred and Fifty Dollars and no /100 ($150.00) per day, per triple
combination pumper, for every day beyond the date scheduled for delivery provided in
Section 4.1. Execution of this Agreement shall constitute agreement by the City and
Vendor that the sum of One Hundred and Fifty Dollars and no /100 ($150.00) per day,
per triple combination pumper, is the minimum value of costs and actual damages
caused by the failure of Vendor to deliver the Equipment within the allotted time. All
Pierce Manufacturing, Inc. Page 2

liquidated damages shall be paid within ten (10) calendar days of City's written request
for payment. Such sum is liquidated damages and shall not be construed as a penalty,
and may be deducted from payments due the Vendor, or recovered from Vendor, as
applicable, if such delay occurs.
5. ACCEPTANCE /PAYMENT
Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by City, acceptance of the Equipment shall
not be deemed complete unless in writing and until each vehicle of the Equipment has

Pierce Manufacturing is pleased to submit a proposal to CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH for a
Pierce® 1500 GPM Triple Combination Pumper. The following paragraphs will
describe in detail the apparatus, construction methods, and equipment proposed. This
proposal will indicate size, type, model and make of components parts and equipment,
providing proof of compliance with each and every item (except where noted) in the
departments advertised specifications.
PIERCE MANUFACTURING was founded in 1913. Since then we have been building bodies
with one philosophy, 'BUILD THE FINEST'. Our skilled craftsmen take pride in their work,
which is reflected, in the final product. We have been building fire apparatus since the early
"forties" giving Pierce Manufacturing over 60 years of experience in the fire apparatus
market. Pierce Manufacturing has built and put into service more than 51,000
apparatus, including more than 27,000 on Pierce custom chassis designed and built
specifically for fire and emergency applications. Our Appleton, Wisconsin facility has over
757,000 total square feet of floor space situated on approximately 97 acres of land. Our
Bradenton, Florida facility has 300,000 square feet of floor space situated on approximately
38 acres of land.
Our beliefs in high ethical standards are carried through in our commitments to all with
whom we do business and our ethical standards do not change. Honesty, Integrity,
Accountability and Citizenship are global tenets by which we all live and
work. Consequently, we (nor our parent company) engage in or have been convicted of
price fixing, bid rigging, or collusion in any domestic or international fire apparatus market.
Pierce has only one brand of fire apparatus "Pierce ", ensuring you are receiving top of the
line product that meets your specification.
In accordance with the current addition of NFPA 1901 standards, this proposal will specify
whether the fire department, manufacturer, or apparatus dealership will provide required
loose equipment.
GENERAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
To control quality, ensure compatibility, and provide a single source for service and
warranty, the custom cab, chassis, pump module and body will be entirely designed,
assembled /welded and painted in Pierce owned manufacturing facilities. This includes, but
not limited to the cab weldment, the pumphouse module assembly, the chassis assembly,
the body and the electrical system.
QUALITY AND WORKMANSHIP
Pierce has set the pace for quality and workmanship in the Fire apparatus field. Our
tradition of building the highest quality units with craftsmen second to none has been the
rule right from the beginning and we demonstrate that ongoing commitment by: Ensuring
all steel welding follows American Welding Society D1.1 -2004 recommendations for
structural steel welding. All aluminum welding follows American Welding society and ANSI
D1.2 -2003 requirements for structural welding of aluminum. All sheet metal welding follows
American welding Society B2.1 -2000 requirements for structural welding of sheet
metal. Our flux core arc welding uses alloy rods, type 7000 and is performed to American
Welding Society standards A5.20- E70T1. Furthermore, all employees classified as welders
are tested and certified to meet the American welding Society codes upon hire and every
three (3) years thereafter. Pierce also employs and American Welding Society certified
welding inspector in plant during working hours to monitor weld quality.
Pierce Manufacturing operates a Quality Management System under the requirements of
ISO 9001. These standards sponsored by the International Organization for Standardization
1 of 94 PROPOSAL 3/7/2013 19
(ISO) specify the quality systems that are established by the manufacturer for design,
manufacture, installation and service. A copy of the certificate of compliance is included
with this proposal.
In addition to the Quality Management system, we also employ a Quality Achievement
Supplier program to insure the vendors and suppliers that we utilize meet the high
standards we demand. That is just part of our overall "Quality at the Source" program at
Pierce.
To demonstrate the quality of our products and services, a list of at least five (5) fire
departments /municipalities that have purchased vehicles for a second time is provided.

chrome plated, polished stainless steel, anodized aluminum and bright aluminum
treadplate. Each imperfection on the exterior metal surface will be removed or filled and
then sanded smooth for a smooth appearance. All seams will be sealed before painting.
87 of 94 PROPOSAL 3/7/2013 105
2. Chemical Cleaning and Treatment - The aluminum surfaces will be properly cleaned
using a 4- phase, high pressure and high temperature acid etching system. All steel surfaces
will be properly treated using a 3- phase, high temperature, cleaning /phosphatizing
system. Surfaces are chemically cleaned to remove all dirt, oil, grease and metal oxides to
ensure the subsequent coatings bond well. An ultra pure water final rinse of 25 parts per
million solids or less, will be applied to final rinse all metal surfaces at the conclusion of the
metal treatment process. This final rinse ensures all chemical residues are removed and
that no minerals, (salts), from the water dry onto the metal surface and remain under the
primers and topcoats. These salts can lead to blistering and under film corrosion.
3. Primer /Surfacer Coats - A minimum of two (2) mil dry, (.002), of two component
urethane primer /surfacer will be hand applied to the chemically treated metal surfaces to
provide a strong corrosion protective base coat and to smooth out the surface. The primer
is a high solids and low VOC paint.
4. Hand Sanding to Ultra Fine Finish The primer /surfacer coat is lightly sanded with mild
abrasive paper to an ultra smooth finish. This hand finish process is critical to produce the
smooth mirror like finish in the topcoat.
5. Sealer Primer Coat A two- (2) component sealer primer coat is applied over the sanded
primer to again build toward the final smooth finish. This layer of primer sealer also gives
additional corrosion protection.
6. Topcoat Paint Two (2) coats of an automotive grade, two component acrylic urethane
paint are applied to provide the lasting beauty and durability. The acrylic urethane topcoat
contains a clear coat resin chemistry that creates the high gloss and depth of image. This
type of topcoat provides the best resistance against acid rain and other more common
chemicals.
7. Clearcoat - Two (2) coats of an automotive grade two (2) component urethane will be
applied. Lap style doors will be clear coated to match the body. Roll -up doors will not be
clear coated and the standard roll -up door warranty will apply.
A cyclic corrosion test, (General Motors test GM- 9540), of 40 cycles will be required before
making changes to the exterior coating process. Exterior coating systems, (excluding the
undercarriage components), must achieve a 1/16 or less maximum creep from the scribe for
aluminum and an 1/8 or less maximum creep from the scribe for galvanneal after 40 cycles
in the General Motors GM -9540 test.
Each batch of color topcoat, together with the finish painted vehicle, is tested for precise
color match. Visual color match will be checked following ASTM D -1729, (American
Standard Testing Methods), procedures using CIE, (International Commission on
Illumination), D75 Northern Daylight light source. Instrumental color match will follow
ASMT D -2244 procedures with a maximum delta E of 1.0 for whites, 1.4 for yellows, blues,
greens and 1.5 for reds.
All removable items such as brackets, compartment doors, door hinges, trim, etc. will be
removed and painted separately to insure paint behind all mounted items. Body assemblies
that can not be finish painted after assembly will be finish painted before assembly.
The cab will be two -tone, with the upper section painted White #267 UPPER along with a
shield design on the cab face and lower section of the cab and body painted Red #107
Lower.

LIFETIME SERVICE WARRANTY
United Plastic Fabricating, Inc. (hereinafter called "UPF ") warrants each
POLY - TANK®, Booster /Foam Tank POLYSIDEG Wetside Tank, Integrator
Tank/Body, ELLIPSETm Elliptical Tank, Ellip -T -Tank Tank and DEFENDERM
Skid Tank to be free from defects in material and workmanship for the service
life of the original vehicle (vehicle must be actively used in an emergency re-
sponse for fire suppression). All UPF Tanks must be installed and operated in
accordance with the UPF Installation and Operating Guidelines. Failure to do
so can void the warranty.
Every UPF Tank is inspected and tested before leaving our facility. Should
your UPF Tank require service, please notify UPF via email, fax, in writing or
by calling UPF at 1- 978 - 975 -4520. Please provide the serial number, a de-
scription of the service request, the location along with the phone number and
name of the contact person. Our goal is to have scheduled work completed
within a reasonable time period.
Under a valid warranty claim, UPF will cover the cost to repair the UPF Tank
including the customary and reasonable costs to make the tank accessible
such as the removal and reinstallation of the tank if authorized in advance
(pre- approved) by UPF. The warranty will not cover tanks that have been im-
properly installed, operated, misused, abused, or modified from its intended
or designed use. Serial number must not have been altered, defaced or re-
moved. Tanks that are not stored or installed properlywhich results in the tank
suffering UV damage will not be covered by this agreement.
Should UPF determine that the service claim is valid under this warranty for a
tank located outside of the United States and Canada, UPF will assume the
costs for labor and material for the warranty repair as described above plus
all travel costs to the U.S. port of embarkation. Costs for airline travel outside
of the U.S. and Canada will not be the responsibility of UPF.
In the event the tank shall become stationed in an area of the world that is
considered to be a war zone or where unsafe conditions exist for the safe
passage of United States Nationals, as reported by the United States Depart-
ment of State, (http: / /www.state.gov), and a request to perform service or
warranty repairs, UPF reserves the right to refuse to honor such requests. It
is the purchaser's responsibility to relocate the tank to an area where such
repairs can be performed without undue risk to UPF employees or their des-
ignee. UPF will make every reasonable effort to support our products though
alternative means.
For Ellipse T9 elliptical tanks, a separate five year warranty provided by the
subcontractor is applied to the sub - frames, chute linings (rubber isolation
strips) and metal components. The stainless steel wrap provided by UPF
shall be warranted by the subcontractor performing the wrap installation in
accordance with their warranty in place at the time of the installation. UPF
will not be liable for any warranty costs associated with the wrap, sub - frames,
chute linings (rubber isolation strips) and metal components but will assist
with all claims on behalf of its customer.
For PolySide® wetsided tanks and IntegratorTM Tank/Body units, all polypro-
pylene components related to the tank shall carry the standard UPF lifetime

service warranty. Other polypropylene components, including but not limited
to compartments, wheel wells, fenders and other body related components
shall be warranted by UPF for a period of ten years. The warranty for the
PolySide& and IntegratorTM units excludes paint or hardware, which shall be
covered by the manufacturer of the paint/hardware.
All UPF tanks 50 gallons or less utilized for non -fire applications and installed
on specialty vehicles such as ATVs, trailers, boats, etc. are covered under a
separate warranty policy available from UPF. Further, UPF ProtectorTM foam
and water trailers are warranted under a separate warranty policy available
from UPF.
This UPF warranty is transferable within the United States only with priorwrit-
ten approval by UPF (except an original apparatus manufacturer may assign
this warranty to the first titled owner /lessee of the apparatus).
UPF will NOT reimburse any unnecessary work and /or work that has
not been pre- approved. Any and all third party charges must be pre -
authorized and approved in writing by UPF prior to commencing the
work. Any unauthorized third party repairs, alterations, actions or modi-
fications will not be covered and can void the warranty. UPF will be the
sole determining authority as to whether a service claim will be valid
and covered under this warranty.
In no event will UPF be liable for an amount in excess of the purchase price
of the booster /foam tank at the time of manufacture or for any loss or dam-
age, whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or otherwise arising
out of failure of its product. Loss of contents (water, foam, etc.) shall not be
the responsibility of UPF. Further, UPF is not responsible for costs associated
with service repairs to chassis, sub - frames, bodies, valves, dumps, hoses,
pressure vacuum vents, and other components (i.e. liquid level transducers,
etc.). Further, UPF will not cover the cost for travel of the vehicle to and from
a repair facility.
This warranty contains the entire warranty. It is the sole warranty and price
agreements or representation, whether oral or written, are either merged
herein or expressly cancelled. UPF neither assumes, nor authorizes any per-
son supposing to act on its behalf to change, nor assume for it, any warranty
or liability concerning its product.
j This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other
Q rights which vary from state to state. Some states do not allow exclusion or
d limitation or incidental or consequential damage, so the above limitation or
EF exclusion may not apply to you. Since some states do not allow limitations on
�14 the length of an implied warranty, the above limitation may not apply to you.

(1) What is Covered by this Commercial Warranty?
Mentor Inc. warrants to the owner ( "Owner ") that the components
listed in this publication, which have been installed by an Original
Equipment Manufacturer ( "OEM ") as original equipment in vehicles
licensed for on- highway use, will be free from defects in material and
workmanship. This warranty coverage begins only after the expiration
of the OEM's vehicle warranty for the applicable covered components.
Warranty coverage ends at the expiration of the applicable time period
from the date of vehicle purchase by the first Owner, or, the applicable
mileage limitation, whichever occurs first. Duration of coverage
varies by component and vocation as detailed elsewhere in this
warranty statement.
Some components are warranted for parts only and the Owner must
pay any labor costs associated with the repair or replacement of the
component. Other components are warranted for both parts and
reasonable labor to repair or replace the subject component.
Components (whether new, used or remanufactured) installed as
replacements under this warranty are warranted only for the remainder
of the original period of time or mileage under the original warranty.
For certain components, coverage requires the use of specific
extended drain interval or synthetic lubricants. For further information
about lubrication and maintenance, see Meritor publication
Maintenance Manual Number I and the applicable Mentor
maintenance manual for the product in question. Other conditions
and limitations applicable to this warranty are detailed below.
(2) Designation of Vocational Use Required.
To obtain warranty coverage, each Owner must notify Meritor through
the OEM new truck and /or trailer dealer of the intended vocational
use of the vehicle Into which the Meritor components have been
incorporated prior to the vehicle in- service date. This notification
may be accomplished by registering the vehicle through your OEM
new truck and /or trailer dealer or with Meritor directly. Failure to
notify Meritor of (1) the intended vocational use of the vehicle or (11)
a change in vocational use from that which was originally designated,
will result in the application of a one year, unlimited mileage, pans
only warranty (1 /Unl /P) from the initial in- service date.
A second Owner and each subsequent Owner must also notify Mentor
as to the intended vocational use of the vehicle. This notification can
be sent directly to Meritor or through the OEM new truck and /or trailer
dealer. The duration and mileage coverage of this warranty cannot
exceed the coverage extended to the first Owner after his or her initial
designation of vocational use.
Coverage under Mertor's warranty requires that the application of
products be properly approved pursuant to OEM, Meritor, Meritor -
WABCO, and ZF engineering approvals. Refer to TP -9441 for axles,
SP -8320 for trailer axles, and /or contact Meritor regarding specific
application approval questions on any product line.
(3) What Is the Cost of this Warranty?
There is no charge to the Owner for this warranty.
(4) What is not Covered by this Warranty?
This warranty does not cover normal wear and tear; nor does it cover
a component that fails, malfunctions or is damaged as a result of (1)
improper installation, adjustment, repair or modification (including
the use of unauthorized attachments or changes or modification in
the vehicle's configuration, usage, or vocation from that which was
originally approved by Meritor), (11) accident, natural disaster, abuse,
or improper use (including loading beyond the specified maximum
vehicle weight or altering engine power settings to exceed the
transmission, axle, driveline, and /or clutch torque capacity), or
(111) improper or insufficient maintenance (including deviation from
approved lubricants, change intervals, or tube levels). This warranty
does not cover any component or part that is not sold by Merior.
For vehicles that operate full or part time outside of the United States
and Canada, a one year, unlimited mileage, parts only warranty
(1 /Unl /P) will apply.
(5) Remedy.
The exclusive remedy under this warranty shall be the repair or
replacement of the defective component at Mentor's option. Meritor
reserves the right to require that all applicable failed materials are
available and /or returned to Meritor for review and evaluation.

THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED OR
STATUTORY INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

consequential damages of any kind or under any legal theory,
including, but not limited to, towing, downtime, lost productivity,
cargo damage, taxes, or any other losses or costs resulting from a
defective covered component.
(8) To Obtain Service.

in material or workmanship, the Owner must promptly give notice to
either Meritor or the dealer from which the vehicle was purchased. To
obtain service, the vehicle must be taken to any participating OEM new
