Board of Public Works Meeting Date: November 19, 2018
Jeff Lafleur, Superintendent
Solid Waste Department
Approval to purchase One (1) Solid Waste Rear Load Packer
To approve the purchase of one rear load packer waste collection vehicle from
McNeilus of Morgantown, PA in the amount of $276,254, pursuant to the
Sourcewell (formerly NJPA) Contract #112014-MCN. Funding will be through
Department 168 Solid Waste; Fund: Trust; Activity: CERF.
MeNeilus Quotes & Service History for Truck #i12-041
The Solid Waste Department requires nineteen (19) trucks to collect trash,
recycling, soft yard waste and oversized items. The Solid Waste Department uses
rear load packers in areas of the city where the refuse can’t be accessed by the
automated fleet, and are critica! in the fall when soft yard waste is collected.
The current fleet of packers is requiring increased maintenance due to their age
and mileage resulting in unscheduled downtime causing delays and overtime.
The rear load packer being replaced is truck #12-041; a 2012 Freightliner in
service since 10/1/2011 with 49,000 miles and 9074 engine hours. This was a
planned CERF replacement for FY 18. The new rear load packer will be a like for
like replacement with CNG as the chosen fuel system to further standardize the
Solid Waste Fleet and continue with the City of Nashua’s efforts to be green and
the recent reduction in the price of the CNG and increase of diesel has made this
option favorable.
With the new replacement truck #12-041 will be retained into a backline asset for
use when demand is high or another truck is down for maintenance.
We are confident in McNeilus’s product, experience, reputation and the
company’s ability to provide timely service, support and parts to the City. The
Solid Waste Superintendent and Fleet Manager recommend the purchase of the
trucks from McNeilus, 941 Hemiock Road, Morgantown, PA.
All approvals are pending approval of Bond.
