City of Nashua, Public Works Division

Jon Ibarra, Superintendent
Street Department
Purchase of four, six-wheel dump truck up-fitting packages
To approve the purchase of four, six-wheel dump truck up-fitting equipment
packages from H.P. Fairfield, Pembroke, NH for the price of $71,856.50 each for
a total purchase of $287,426. Funding will be through: Department: 161 Street
Fund: Trust; Activity: CERF
Quote sheet and Dealer letter.
The Street Department went out to bid April 25, 2014 to up-fit two, six-wheel
dump trucks purchased in March 2014 with nose, wing plows, hitches, bodies and
all the necessary hydraulics required to complete the trucks. H P Fairfield was
awarded the bid in FY15 and is holding their bid pricing again.
This package from H P Fairfield will allow the Street Department to further
standardize the fleet and parts needed for emergency repairs.
These body and plow packages include stainless steel drop in sanders with ground
speed controls. These are preferable as the stainless sanders have a 20 year life
expectancy plus the ability to mount the sander onto a different truck should there
be a need.
