Department of Public Works (DPW) and Facilities:
Brian Joyce presented to the CBC following topics.
Sidewalk Plow/Mower/Snowblower: Joyce presented to the CBC a comparison of
devices utilized by other towns to replace the 2003 Holder Diesel Tractor unit. Joyce
cited that in addition to width limitations, horsepower was a significant consideration as
the unit goes out after plows so it is expected to be able to move heavy packed snow.
The 100HP desired eliminates many of the suggested units, including the Bobcats.
No votes were taken.
Dump Body Replacement
The CBC had the frame on the 1996 FL800 Dump Truck be inspected to confirm its
condition so a new body would not end up on a frame in poor condition. Joyce
confirmed the frame is in good shape.
No votes were taken.
Salt Shed:
This request is being pushed to FY 2019 as additional time is needed to vet questions
about the shed sizing and the location. Joyce commented that they wanted to
investigate the possibility of using a State-owned shed on 3A.
No votes were taken.
RTF Office Building: A quote Of $70k was received to replace the current building, which
inclusive of footing and foundation work would exceed $100k. Roof repairs are
estimated at $30k but there are concerns as to whether the wall struts were in good
enough condition to support the roof going forward. This led to a discussion on the
overall condition of many of the RTF buildings.
No votes were taken
The projects as listed reflect the order of importance for FY 2018 as stated by Joyce
(excepting the salt shed).
Next meeting was scheduled for March 6, 2017. There being no further business we
voted to adjourn at 21 :56.
