Dodge County reviews road rehabilitation work and authorizes Caterpillar grader financing
Summary
The board accepted Caterpillar financing documents for a new motor grader, with payments to begin July 2027 spread over four years, and Highway Superintendent Scott Huppert updated the board on ongoing road and bridge projects including project #666 and bridge rehabilitation project 647B.
The Dodge County Board on June 24 received financial documents from Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation for the purchase of a Caterpillar 140-15AWD motor grader and authorized the signatures required to complete the transaction. Highway Superintendent Scott Huppert told the board that payments will start in July 2027 and be spread over a four-year schedule.
Huppert also updated the board on active highway work: crews are performing road rehabilitation on project #666 (County Road F to County Road C Blvd on County Road 16), cleaning ditches, installing culverts and shredding. He said bridge-approach work on County Road 8 will require a road closure while crews work. Huppert reported that a railroad-crossing safety grant project on County Road 6 and Shoreline Drive remains in environmental review and could take up to six months. He said there will be a meeting with JMN Construction LLC about bridge rehabilitation project 647B this Friday and that construction is planned to start in mid-July with traffic diverted while work occurs.
The board authorized the necessary signatures for the Caterpillar financing documents during the meeting; the minutes do not list the purchase price or payment totals in the text.
