City of Nashua, Public Works Division
Board of Public Works Meeting Date: July 28, 2022
David L. Boucher, Superintendent
Wastewater Department
Safety Equipment Purchase
To approve the purchase of the Gorbel Road Ranger Fall Protection Unit from
Mass Crane and Hoist Services, Inc. of Tyngsboro, MA in the amount not to
exceed $46,202. Funding will be through Department: 169 Wastewater; Fund:
Wastewater; Activity: Davit ARM Replacement.
The Wastewater Department has unique safety needs, with many tanks being
greater than 20 feet in depth and requiring personnel entry in order to clean and
maintain the structures. Recently we began a Facility wide project to increase
safety in the way we enter tanks and pump stations, with the installation of Davit
arms in the Wet Weather Facility Screening Upgrade, the Primary Upgrade, and
the Pump Station Upgrade.
In order to easily and cost effectively address the safety in the majority of areas,
the wastewater department would like to purchase a mobile fall protection unit.
The Facility explored two units, each that would meet the needs of the Facility.
One unit is the Gorbel Road Ranger, the other being the Malta Dynamics X1250.
We could not find a third comparable unit. The Gorbel Road Ranger has a lower
cost and meets the application needs of the Facility, making this the
recommended purchase. The quote received for the Gorbel Road Ranger was
from Mass Crane and Hoist for $46,202, which includes delivery.
