Title
Resolution to Authorize the Purchase of One All Electric Bucket Truck and One Electric Hybrid Bucket Truck from Terex Utilities Inc. and to Appropriate $228,300.00 in Funding from the Major Streets Fund Balance (Sourcewell - $871,274.00) (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
The attached resolution authorizes the purchase of one new Terex Optima HR55 all electric bucket truck at $612,931.00 and one new Terex Hi-Ranger LT40 electric hybrid bucket truck at $258,343.00 for a total cost of $871,274.00 for use by the Public Services Area, Engineering Unit, Signs and Signals operations.
The proposed Terex Optima HR55 will replace a 2009 Terex aerial device on an International chassis (#4616) with over 7,815 hours of use and which is beyond its useful life. The proposed Terex Hi-Ranger LT40 will replace a 2011 Terex aerial device on a Ford F-750 chassis (#4617) with over 13,856 hours of use and which is beyond its useful life.
The all-electric Terex Optima HR55 is a battery powered 55' Terex boom system mounted on an all-electric International eMV607 chassis. The chassis and boom system are operated from two separate battery systems that operate independently of one another. The battery pack for the chassis is designed for 135 miles of driving range. The battery pack for the boom system is designed for 5 hours of aerial movement. Aerial movement only draws on the battery when the boom is actually moving, not when standing still even in the raised position. This truck will require the purchase and installation of a Level 2 electric charger for the boom system and either a second Level 2 electric charger or a DCFC fast charger for the chassis. The needed charging infrastructure at the Wheeler Service Center is not part of this resolution.
The electric hybrid Terex Hi-Ranger LT40 is a battery powered 40' Terex boom system mounted on a Ford F-550 gasoline powered chassis. Terex does not currently offer an electric chassis for this smaller sized truck. The smaller cha...
