Long Lake approves $317,000 sole-source purchase of Pisten Bully groomer to support snowmobile trails
Summary
The Town Board authorized a sole-source purchase of one Pisten Bully 100 Trail Pro groomer from Mohawk Industrial Werks at a cost not to exceed $317,000, to be reimbursed by a NYS DEC grant; the Board required annual reporting on outcomes.
The Town Board unanimously authorized the Parks, Recreation & Tourism Department to purchase one Pisten Bully 100 Trail Pro groomer from Mohawk Industrial Werks at a total cost not to exceed $317,000. The resolution records the Director's written memorandum that Mohawk Industrial Werks is the factory-authorized dealer in the region and that the Pisten Bully 100 Trail Pro alone meets the Town's operational requirements for trail grooming.
The resolution authorizes the Supervisor to execute purchase documents, directs a budget amendment (increase Expenditure Line A00‑7260‑0200 by $317,000), and notes the acquisition will be reimbursed through a NYS DEC grant. Councilman Mark A. Bird praised the grooming work: "The trails from Raquette Lake to Long Lake were great, the best I have seen them." Motion to approve was made by Councilman Bird, seconded by Councilman Donnelly, and adopted 4–0.
