Public works requests $25,000 skid‑steer milling head to improve pavement repairs
Summary
Public Works asked the board to fund a milling head attachment (about $25,000) for a skid steer to make precise pavement repairs — cutting joints, removing roots and preparing pothole patches — distinguishing the tool from general debris grapples and noting it is specialized 'for chewing asphalt.'
Public Works (S6) told commissioners the department seeks a milling head attachment for a skid steer, estimated at about $25,000, to improve pavement repair capabilities and produce a better finished surface.
S6 described the attachment's uses: tie‑ins for bridges, cutting joint lines, removing tree roots and preparing square pothole cuts so crews can fill and compact fresh material. "It's made just for chewing asphalt," S6 said, emphasizing the tool is distinct from a grapple or debris‑clearing attachment.
Commissioners discussed whether the purchase could be scheduled at the next meeting and whether funds could come from capital or T‑SPLOST allocations; staff noted the Multi Max and other machines will be presented at a future meeting and that funding options will be explored.
