Worcester County Commissioners have tentatively approved spending $185,000 for a new Hazmat response vehicle following a request from Fire Marshall Jeff McMahon at a county budget work session on Tuesday.
Following a March 15 meeting, the commissioners directed McMahon to pursue the acquisition of a 2015 Ford F-550 for $131,500, only to discover the vehicle was no longer available.
The higher priced option is for a 2017 Hackney Lite Rescue built on a 2016 Ford F-550 chassis. The vehicle would include a three-year or 36,000-mile Ford chassis warranty along with a 10-year Hackney body warranty and a seven-year Hackney component warranty.
“It meets all the specs we would need,” McMahon said. “It just came off the production line yesterday.”
Two other less costly used options proffered at the March meeting were also revisited.
