Selectboard authorizes installation work on new Western Star truck; motion passes unanimously
Summary
The board approved contracting Jaime Vaillencourt to install the dump, plow and wing from the old truck onto the newly purchased Western Star chassis for a price not to exceed $60,000; the chassis was paid for and setup is scheduled for March 2027 at roughly $115,000.
The Montgomery Selectboard voted 5‑0 to authorize installation work to outfit a newly purchased Western Star truck by reusing parts from the town’s old truck.
Public Works reported the Western Star chassis is in hand and paid for, with setup scheduled for March 2027 through Viking at an estimated $115,000. According to the meeting record, Jaime Vaillencourt will buy back the old truck’s dump, plow, wing, hydraulic tank and service items for an estimated $50,000–$60,000. Mark moved “to have Jaime Vaillencourt install the dump, plow, and wing from the old truck on the new Western Star truck for a price not to exceed $60,000.” Dan seconded the motion and the board approved it 5‑0.
The board’s action authorizes the public‑works contractor or vendor to proceed with installation work; the meeting record does not specify a signed contract or payment schedule, only the board’s authorization and the agreed not‑to‑exceed amount.
