Summary
Highway Foreman Shane Heath reported a Case backhoe quote totaling $201,700 (including $7,700 in attachments) with a $34,000 trade allowance for the town's JCB; mower under contract arrives Aug. 3; Cargill salt pricing reported and a late mowing bid of $10,800 was conditionally accepted.
Highway Foreman Shane Heath told the Select Board that Case quoted a new backhoe at $194,000 plus $7,700 in attachments for a total of $201,700; the company offered a $34,000 trade allowance for the town's current JCB, which the minutes say has transmission and multiple sensor issues. A prior John Deere quote cited in the minutes was $207,000.
Shane reported that the mower the town signed a contract for will arrive Monday, August 3. A late roadside mowing bid from Travis Courser for $10,800 was accepted on the condition that the town can exit the existing mower rental contract; the motion passed. Cargill salt contract pricing was reported at $1.2825 per ton for Clearlane and $1.15 per ton for Deicer; the minutes show the salt contracts were signed by Joe Solinsky.
