Quote sheet
The Street Department currently operates #53 a % Ton Chevrolet Utility Body
Pickup Truck on CERF for FY17. In September a quote was requested from
MHOQ based on the Plymouth County Contract for 2016. Truck #53 is a 2005
Chevrolet CK.2500 4x4 Utility Body Truck used as a masons vehicle and for
winter snow operations. It currently has 85,000 miles and requires frequent
repairs to remain a reliable front line vehicle.
The replacement F350 will be equipped like for like with the exception of having
dual rear wheels which will increase its payload capacity when carrying mason
supplies and towing the mason’s trailer. This is a planned CERF FY17 purchase.
The current CK2500 will be kept as a back line vehicle until it is no longer
feasible to repair.
