City of Nashua, Public Works Division
Board of Public Works Meeting Date: July 26, 2018
Jon Ibarra, Superintendent
Street Department
Purchase of one 2019 Ford F550 Aerial Bucket Truck.
To approve the purchase of one 2019 Ford F550 Aerial Bucket Truck from MHO
of Marlborough, MA for $124,348.15 pursuant to the Metropolitan Area Planning
Council contract. Funding will be through Department: 161 Street; Fund: Trust;
Activity: CERF.
Quote from MHOQ, Vehicle history report.
This scheduled purchase will replace the traffic department’s aerial bucket truck
unit #131, a 2009 Chevrolet C5500 truck. This vehicle currently has 94,000 miles
on it; unit is not equipped with an hour meter. The new vehicle will be equipped
and utilized by the traffic department in similar fashion as the unit it is replacing.
The aerial equipment will also have a 37foot working height with all the warning
lights and safeguards required by OSHA.
The old #131 will be retained by the Street Department and kept as a backup unit
and shared within the DPW until the time the repairs outweigh its value.
MHQ will deliver the truck fully outfitted. There will be a 7 year, 75,000 mile
premium warranty and a 2 year warranty on the aerial lift assembly.
The Superintendent and Fleet Manager both recommend this purchase.
