Purchase of a Replacement Bucket Truck
To approve the purchase of (1) 2021AWD Freightliner XT PRO 70 rear mount
Ariel bucket truck from Custom One Truck Source of Hooksett, NH for the
Sourcewell-012418-TER contract price of $198,049. Funding will be through
Department: 177 Parks & Recreation; Fund: Trust; Activity: CERF.
Quote sheet, Vehicle history report
The Parks and Recreation Department has a Forestry truck 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 $198,049. This vehicle came
under the budgeted replacement cost of $201,603.
The trucks will be replacing unit #08-525 that is on the CERF replacement list
originally scheduled for replacement in FY20 but was deferred to FY21. The
current vehicle will be kept as a back line vehicle to help during major weather
events clearing roads from fallen trees and tree branches. This truck will be back
lined until it reaches a point where repairs cannot be justified. The truck has some
body issues and the lift has passed inspection but we have been notified that at
some point a major rebuild will be required. Although the truck has 19,000 miles
on the odometer it does all its work parked with the engine operating. The truck
has very high engine hours (3974.3 = 119,229 miles) for a municipal vehicle,
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 standard three year
warranty. It is the recommendation of the Superintendent, Fleet Manager and the
Director to award this purchase to Custom One Truck.
