Selectboard approves 6-wheeler Freightliner to replace town truck
Summary
After reviewing quotes, the Selectboard voted to proceed with a 6-wheeler Freightliner truck to replace the existing Freightliner 6-wheeler; the board noted about a $10,000 difference versus a 10-wheeler and discussed warranty considerations for future replacements.
The Selectboard reviewed quotes for replacing the Freightliner 6-wheeler and decided to proceed with a 6-wheeler replacement after considering cost differences. Rodney Hoyt noted roughly a $10,000 price difference between a 6-wheeler and a 10-wheeler. Mike McPhetres moved to move forward with the 6-wheeler Freightliner; John O'Brien seconded the motion and it passed.
Rodney recommended seeking a seven-year bumper-to-bumper warranty for the next truck replacement (the town's 2020 one-ton truck), a recommendation the board recorded for future procurement planning. The minutes do not record vendor names or final pricing beyond the $10,000 comparative difference noted.
