Therefore, climate control is needed to allow personnel to prepare and store essential equipment. Insulation in the walls and ceiling will save energy, mitigate noise, and allow for the use of a single AC unit with heatstrip. A finished ceiling is required with insulation and when 110 volt power is installed for the AC unit. White vinyl will allow for better illumination versus alternate finishes, such as bare wood paneling.

Justification for Required Option 12: Amber cornering lights are needed for safety as they increase the visibly of the black trailer particularly during nighttime.

Justification for Required Options 14 and 15: Awnings are needed to protect personnel and containerized equipment from the elements when conducting response operations. Justification for Required Options 17 and 18: A diesel generator of sufficient capacity is needed to run the climate control equipment (Required Option 16), while also providing enough power for lights and charging or preparing electronic response equipment. Diesel is required for safety purposes, as it is less flammable than gasoline. Justification for Required Options 19, 20, and 23: Lighting is needed to allow HSD to safely conduct response operations regardless of the time of day. When the generator is not in operation, interior light can be provided by 12 volt dome lighting. Justification for Required Options 21 and 22: Sufficient 100 volt outlets are required to operate and charge response related and safety equipment from within and outside of the response trailer. Justification for Required Options 24 and 25: Recessed wall and floor E-track is required to allow HSD to safely secure response equipment in the response trailer. Each HSD mission may require different equipment and loading configurations; therefore, sufficient E-track is required to allow for ease of securing multiple configurations.
