Purchase of One - Six Wheel Cab and Chassis Truck
To approve the purchase of a 2019 HV507 SFA (HV507) Cab and Chassis Truck
from Liberty International of Manchester, NH for the price of $88,785. Funding
will be through Department: 177 Parks & Recreation; Fund: Trust; Activity:
CERF.
Quote sheet & Truck 09-511 Service History
The Parks and Recreation Department has a six-wheel dump truck on CERF for
replacement in FY19. Liberty International of Manchester, NH provided a quote
based off of the State of New Hampshire bid for a cab and chassis at a price of
$88,785.
The truck being replaced is unit 09-511 that is on the CERF schedule for FY19
and is in serious need of replacement. This truck currently has hydraulic issues
that control both the spreader and plow controls. The undercarriage has had to
have extensive work done in order for the truck to be inspected. This vehicle is
the main plow truck for the Kinsley and Temple Street routes and is also used in
the French Hill route and in the 14 schools that we maintain. The truck has
extensive frame rust and high engine hours (2,895 = 86,850 miles) for a
municipal plow truck. Once the replacement unit arrives this truck will be used as
a back line truck until the repairs outweigh its value.
In addition, the purchase of International brand trucks (vs. another brand) will
enable the Division to continue standardization of the fleet and maintenance
items needed for stock.
