Road Foreman David Wilder presented quotes showing a Viking-Cives body at $39,700 plus $4,500–$5,000 installation and $6,500 painting; the board approved spending $51,200 to buy and outfit a replacement dump body to standardize fleet parts and ensure readiness for winter and rehab projects.
Road Foreman David Wilder presented written estimates for replacing the dump body on the town’s 2015 Western Star. Wilder said Viking-Cives of Vermont quoted $39,700 for a primed body and hinge; installation at NTS Truck Repair was quoted between $4,500 and $5,000 and painting by Bob Tassie was quoted at $6,500, bringing the quoted total to $51,200.
Wilder told the Selectboard that choosing a Viking body would standardize body types across the town fleet and make parts more interchangeable and locally available. Cote Griggs moved to spend $51,200 to purchase the Viking body; Scott McCarthy seconded and the motion carried.
