Quote from MHQ, Vehicle history report.
This scheduled FY20 CERF purchase will replace the Solid Waste Attendant and
Landfill engineers’ pickup truck unit #12-058, which is a CNG powered 2012
Ford F250 Crew cab 4 door pickup truck with 34,000 miles on it. The Solid
Waste Attendant and Landfiil Engineer use this pickup for daily use in and around
the landfill. Uses for this truck includes Tours for engineers during construction
meetings, transport of materials for welding pipes and surface collectors, and
inspecting closed landfills throughout the City. Although the pickup has relativeiy
low mileage, the undercarriage shows heavy wear and corrosion from the harsh
environment of the landfill. The new vehicle will be used and equipped with a
snowplow and a lift gate that will be used for picking up and moving heavy items
around the landfill.
The old #12-058 will be used in the landfili untii it is no !onger feasible to repair.
MHQ wiil deliver the new truck fully equipped with a 6.2L V8 gasoline engine
and the added accessories ready to go to work. There will be a 5 year, 60,000 mile
powertrain warranty and a 3-year, 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. The
Superintendent and Fleet Manager both recommend this purchase.
