Select Board directs highway committee to research financing for HP Fairfield 10‑wheel dump truck
Summary
After committee recommendation, the board approved a motion directing the highway committee to research financing options for a HP Fairfield 10‑wheel dump truck, discussing prebuilt turnkey trucks, stainless bodies, lead times and a quoted $312,000 price.
The highway committee recommended focusing research on HP Fairfield for a 10‑wheel dump truck. Committee members and staff discussed prebuilt turnkey trucks, stainless versus non‑stainless bodies, warranty packages, trade‑in estimates and the practical advantages of local parts delivery and service.
A motion to have the highway committee research financing for an HP Fairfield 10‑wheel dump truck was moved and seconded; the board voted in favor by voice vote. During the discussion Randy Clark (a dealer) later joined the meeting and cautioned that lead times and forthcoming emissions rules will affect timing and cost for chassis and bodies. The committee will assemble financing options, warranty details and resale/trade‑in assumptions for the board to consider before ordering.
