Highway superintendent reports truck repairs, bridge RFP authorized
Summary
Highway Superintendent Donald Smith reported ongoing repairs to the 2018 Freightliner, expected delivery of a 2025 truck, and the Board authorized an RFP for bridge materials for the Stoney Creek crossing; Smith will also explore in-house hose fabrication and Cornell Local Roads assistance for Jones Road.
Hwy. Supt. Donald Smith told the Town Board the 2018 Freightliner has a new frame but the crew is waiting for correct parts to complete repairs. A new 2025 truck is expected by year-end but still needs a sander and dump-bed locks before deployment.
The Board approved issuing an RFP for bridge materials for the Stoney Creek crossing, citing long lead times for procurement. Smith suggested purchasing equipment to make hydraulic hoses in-house to avoid recurrent supply delays and said he would contact the Cornell Local Roads Program to see if staff could assist in assessing Jones Road rather than hiring an outside engineer.
Supervisor Edward Lentz and the Board supported preparing an RFP and directed Smith to explore grant and assistance options for road work and equipment purchases.
