Under the 2019 CIP, funding was set aside to upgrade
our aging 1986 Caterpillar road grader. The mechanic
performed the work in-house, sealing leaks, rebuilding
cylinders, replacing the seat, LED lighting and new set of
tires all the way around. Replacement cost was estimated
at $350,000; our shop has invested approximately $24,000
to preserve our current machine.
