City of Nashua, Public Works Division
Board of Public Works Meeting Date: November 19, 2020
Jeff Lafleur, Superintendent
Solid Waste Department
Approval to purchase (1} Solid Waste ZR Side Load Automated Packer
To approve the purchase of (1) ZR Side Load Automated Packer waste collection
vehicle from McNeilus of Morgantown, PA in the amount of $347,995, pending
bond approval, pursuant to the Sourcewell (formerly NJPA) Contract #112014-
MCN. Funding will be through Department 168 Solid Waste; Fund: CERF;
Activity: CERF.
Quote and Vehicle service history
The Solid Waste Department uses ZR side load packers in areas of the city where
residents place their refuse toters on the curb for pickup by the automated refuse
trucks.
The current fleet of automated side load packers requires continued maintenance
due to the constant wear and tear from daily usage. Although the fleet of
automated trucks are young, the environment they work in is harsh resulting in
unscheduled downtime and maintenance delays.
The ZR Automated Side Load Packer will replace Truck #1 1-184 in service since
6/15/2014 with 62,000 miles and 14,323 engine hours. This is a planned CERF
replacement for F¥21. The new ZR Automated Side 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.
Once the new replacement truck is received, #11-184 will be disposed of through
the auction process,
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 of Morgantown, PA.
All approvals are pending approval of Bond.
