This specification covers the removal of an existing Type III
modular patient compartment from the chassis, modification of
patient compartment, purchase of one (1) new 1995 Ford F-Super Duty

that will efficiently accomplish the same task will be given careful
consideration. Monroe County shall be the sole judge of the
equipment that is the most advantageous and the decision of the
County shall be final.
This specification details the requirements for general design
criteria of the overall Emergency Care Vehicle including the engine,

supply of information and material necessary for mandatory
