Town board approves purchase of 2027 International HX520 chassis, dump body and plow equipment

The Hamlin Town Board approved a package of equipment purchases during its regular meeting. A board member read a resolution to buy one model year 2027 International HX520 chassis‑cab truck through a regional vendor under contract number 10914, with funds charged to account BA 5130.2.

The board also approved a separate resolution to purchase a dump body and installation for the HX520 from a vendor named in the transcript as “Seb Corporation BBA Vikings” for a sum read aloud as $147,569.90, to be purchased through Sourcewell contract 06222 and charged to account BA51. In a third resolution the board approved purchase of two high‑speed one‑way snow models (identified in the transcript as O W 356 or HX E9) from a vendor read as “SEZ Corporation VBA” under contract 1094 for a total cost read in the transcript as $25,3840 and to be paid from account BA 51302. The transcript’s figures and some vendor spellings were garbled when read aloud; the board did not supply alternate written amounts during the meeting.

Board members present voiced assent to each resolution as the motions were read. The transcript records attendees saying “Yes” after each item but does not record who moved or seconded the motions or provide a roll‑call tally by name.

Why it matters: municipal vehicle and equipment purchases are a recurring line item in Hamlin’s capital and operations budgets and affect fleet readiness for road maintenance and winter response. The meeting record includes contract numbers and account codes for followup.

What’s next: The transcript does not record delivery timelines, exact funding approvals beyond the cited account codes, or any contingency language; the town’s official minutes or purchase orders should be consulted for final dollar amounts, vendor names and delivery schedules.
