City of Nashua, Public Works Division
Board of Public Works Meeting Date: August 23, 2018
David Boucher, Superintendent
Wastewater Department
Purchase of a Stetco 950T13 Catch Basin Cleaner
To approve the purchase of a Stetco 950T13 Catch Basin Cleaner from Howard P.
Fairfield in Pembroke, New Hampshire for $126,923 pursuant to the GBPC
(Greater Boston Police Council) contract 2018 pricing. Funding will be through
Department: 169 Wastewater; Fund: WERF; Account Classification: 81 Capital.
Quotes and Specification Sheets.
The Wastewater Department has previously had a dedicated catch basin cleaning
truck. Truck #4 is a 1988 International Six Wheel Dump with a Stetco Catch
Basin Cleaning System mounted to the truck. The truck was dedicated solely for
the purpose of cleaning debris from the storm catch basins and culverts around the
City. It has been parked and out of service for the last 9 years due to extreme
corrosion and extensive repairs necessary for continued operation.
The Vactors have been used in urgent circurnstances with partial success cleaning
catch basins but unsuccessful with culverts and drainage filled with large
branches and/or debris; a mechanical claw such as the Stetco unit has would be
highly beneficial in all aspects.
