Allegany County committee approves two Peterbilt dump trucks and a Husqvarna road saw
Summary
The committee authorized buying two 2026 Peterbilt 548 dump trucks (budgeted at $191,675 each, total $383,350) and a Husqvarna road saw for $8,999, as part of the department’s equipment replacement plan; both purchases were approved by voice vote.
Allegany County’s Public Works Committee approved permission to purchase two 2026 Peterbilt 548 dump trucks and a Husqvarna road saw during its Feb. 4 meeting.
Highway Superintendent Windes said the two Peterbilts, offered through the Demick Group, are budgeted at $191,675 each for a total of $383,350 and are part of the department’s equipment-replacement plan to replace aging district dump trucks. The committee moved and approved the purchase by voice vote.
Windes also requested authorization to buy a Husqvarna F3FS520 road saw from Bobcat of Olean for $8,999; he noted the existing saw is 15–20 years old and the new unit will cut up to 10 inches compared with about six inches on the current machine. The committee approved the road saw purchase and noted towns and villages can use the saw through the county’s shared-services arrangement.
