The 2014-2015 Fleet Study found that, in order to minimize total City vehicle costs for purchase and maintenance, vehicles of this kind should be replaced before they reach 12 years old. This purchase will replace unit 3361 which was purchased in 2007 with maintenance accumulating to 93% of the original purchase price. Truck 3361 also has a mechanical failure causing it to be out of service.
