Highway crew reports paving progress; town truck in for warranty diagnosis
Summary
Highway staff said paving is nearly complete, culverts need seeding and mulching, and a town truck was taken to a repair shop after metal shavings were found in the fluid; staff will seek pricing for a replacement truck and prepare an RFP.
The highway report covered completed and upcoming roadwork and a vehicle repair. Highway staff (Doug Fontaine, speaker 6) said paving is largely finished except for patches and aprons and that culverts and areas near Penn Road need seeding and mulching; crews plan to complete seeding when weather permits. Fontaine said crews have been grading and filling potholes and thanked local landowners for help with aprons.
Fontaine also reported a problem with a town truck: after dumping fluid a mechanic found metal shavings and the truck was taken to Deliri's for further inspection. He said he hopes it is a warranty issue but the shop must do a deeper diagnosis. Fontaine said he will gather specifications and pricing and issue an RFP to multiple vendors (Freightliner, Western Star, Mack) to compare quotes for a replacement if needed.
