FROM: Shawn Smith, Plant Operations Director
DATE: September 29, 2016
SUBJECT: Purchase of Three Replacement Trades Vans
We are scheduled to replace three trades vans this fiscal year under the CERF program. All three are 2003 Ford
Cargo Vans (E350), and are beyond their projected service life of ten years. $99,431 was set aside for replacing
these vehicles per the CERF detail as of 2/2/2016.
We are requesting the replacements as follows: One (1) Ford Transit, T-350 Low Roof, long wheelbase cargo
van, equipped with the racks and bins (plumber) package; and two (2) Ford E-350 Cutaway SD Chassis with a
12ft. Rockport body (basically what is commonly called a “box van”). The cost for the Ford Transit is $31,764 with
the Plumbers Package and each Ford “Box van” is $34,489.
The total cost of this purchase is $100,742, which is municipal pricing. This price falls within the required 10%
threshold for CERF purposes as per O-14-025.
The purchase will be done through the Grappone Automotive Group of Concord, NH. Their quotes are attached.
Thank you for your consideration.
Shawn M. Smith
