The Street Department has two six-wheel dump trucks on CERF for FY21.
Liberty International has quoted off the State of New Hampshire bid.
The cab and chassis will be replacing vehicle #13-119 that has 32,000 miles and
8,326 engine hours which is equivalent to approximately 249,780 miles per

on the cab understructure and cab floor and the engine has ongoing electrical
problems with harness corrosion causing reliability concerns and breakdowns.
Also being replaced is truck #13-120 that has 33,000 miles and 8,391 engine
hours that is equivalent to approximately 251,730 miles per industry standard of
30 miles per engine hour. This truck also has extensive corrosion to the cab
understructure and floor. The engine components have been failing from
corrosion to the mating surfaces causing fluid leaks and breakdowns.
The Cab and Chassis will be out-fitted like for like except that instead of a live
floor body, the trucks will have a V-box spreader and brine capabilities.
The trucks being replaced will be kept as backline units until no longer feasible to
repair.
