McNeilus Quotes
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 critical 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 packers being replaced are truck #12-043; a 2012 Freightliner in
service since 1/11/2011 with 65,000 miles and 11,573 engine hours. The second
packer being replaced is #13-085; a 2013 Freightliner in service since 9/15/2012
and has 55,523 miles and 12,251 engine hours. These are planned CERF
replacement for FY21. The new rear load packers will be a like for like
replacement with CNG as the chosen fuel system for continued standardization of
the Solid Waste Fleet and continue with the City of Nashua’s efforts to be green.
With the new replacement trucks #12-041 and #13-085 will be retained as
backline assets for use when demand is high or other trucks are down for
maintenance and repairs.
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 Hemlock Road, Morgantown, PA.
All approvals are pending approval of Bond.
