Purchase of a Replacement F550
To approve the purchase of (1) 2021 Ford F550 Super Duty 4 x 4 SOUTHCO
Chip Truck from Custom One Truck Source of Hooksett, NH for the Sourcewell-
1 Contract price of $81,287. Funding will be through Department: 177 Parks &

Quote sheet, Vehicle history report
The Parks and Recreation Department has a F550 on CERF for replacement in
FY21. Custom One Truck of Hooksett, NH provided a quote based off of the
Sourcewell contract for a price of $81,287. This vehicle came under the
budgeted replacement cost of $127,167. This vehicle is no longer offered as a
CNG vehicle.
The trucks will be replacing unit #12-502 that is on the CERF replacement list
scheduled for replacement in FY21. The current vehicle will be kept as a back
line vehicle to help with the winter operations and for summer park maintenance.
This truck will be back lined until it reaches a point where repairs cannot be
Justified. The truck has body rot issues and the CNG repairs have been very
costly, The truck mileage is 68,646. The current truck used to collect wood chips
is a 1999 International Dump truck that will need extensive work to pass New
Hampshire State Inspection next year.
Given the current weather conditions that we have experienced having this
vehicle will allow us to be able to respond to residents request for service in a
more timely and efficient manner. The vehicle comes with a 7 year extended
power train warranty vs the standard three year warranty. It is the
recommendation of the Superintendent, Fleet Manager and the Director to award
this purchase to Custom One Truck.
