Plant Operations Supervisor
Purchase of a 2017 Freightliner M2 Pipeline Inspection Camera Van
To approve the purchase of a 2017 Freightliner M2 106 Medium Duty Box Van
for use as the Pipeline Inspection Camera Van from Freightliner of New
Hampshire in Londonderry New Hampshire for a price of $78,544.00.
Department: 169 Wastewater; Fund: WERF - Collection Systems; Account
Classification 81 Machinery & Equipment.
Attachments: Quote and Bid Sheet
Discussion: The Wastewater Department went out to bid in September to pursue a replacement
to the current 15 year old pipeline inspection camera van. Freightliner of New
Hampshire in Londonderry New Hampshire was the sole bidder.
The current camera van #112 is a 2002 Ford E450 with 50,000 miles and has
reached the end of its life with regards to frame and structural integrity. The frame
was found to be perforated last September during the state inspection cycle, and
temporary repairs were made. Corrosion and age have made this vehicle
problematic and unreliable.
The proposed 2017 M2 106 Medium Duty Camera Van will be equipped with a 6
cylinder diesel engine, automatic transmission, heat and air conditioning and an
aluminum 20 foot box van body to house the proposed pipeline inspection camera
system and office.
The truck will carry a 2 year warranty.
The engine and aftertreatment system will have a 5 year/100,000 mile warranty.
The transmission will have a 5 year/unlimited mileage warranty.
