Re. Pierce Arrow XT 1500 GPM Pumper Truck
Date: January 23, 2019
Chief Rhodes,
Ihave attached Resolution R-18-081 which authorizes the Mayor and City Treasurer to issue
bonds not to exceed the amount of six hundred sixty thousand dollars ($660,000) to purchase a
new pumper truck for the Fire Department.
This bond will allow the replacement of our 2001 Pierce Enforcer 1500 GPM Pumper truck.
Historically Nashua Fire Rescue has purch ased vehicles from Pierce Manufacturing with a pre
pay. This option offers the City a significant savings of $17,883 in finance charges for this
vehicle that can be used towards the outfitting and purchase.
lam recommending that we move forward with accepting this financing of the pre pay option, in
order to seoure the savings and to establish a construction schedule to meet the requirements of
the bond.
Respectfully,
(74
