Massachusetts Governor Seeks OK for $18B Transportation Bond Bill The Baker-Polito administration filed a transportation bond bill on July 25 seeking $18 billion in additional capital authorization to invest in building and modernizing a transportation system that meets the needs of residents, businesses and cities and towns statewide. The authorization would be used to fund existing programs as well as several new initiatives designed to lessen impacts from roadway congestion and ensure reliable travel throughout the Commonwealth. Titled An Act Authorizing and Accelerating Transportation Investment, the proposal includes a series of initiatives from the administration to combat congestion on the Commonwealth’s roadways including establishing a tax credit to encourage telecommuting and remote working, expanding the use of designated bus lanes and transit signal priority, as well as creating a program designed to reduce bottlenecks on local roadways. see BILL page 16
MBTA photo
The bill would mean $5.695 billion for MBTA improvements, including $595 million for the Green Line Extension project.

Equipment East Opens Location in New Hampshire
Chris Thomas of Equipment East. The full line of Stihl power products are on the shelf at Equipment East’s new Bow, N.H., location. Equipment East’s parts department has already inventoried a large variety of parts, with more arriving every day.
E
quipment East has a new location — 1474 Route 3-A in Bow, N.H. From this site, Equipment East is now better positioned to service its customers in New Hampshire and southern Maine. The new location will include a wide assortment of Doosan, Sullivan Palatek and Wacker Neuson light equipment products available for sale and rent, and just as important, a great inventory of parts to keep customers up and running. “We are really ecstatic about what this location brings to our customers,” said Equipment East’s Chris Thomas. “If you are looking to make a purchase or a rental, it is no longer necessary to travel all the way to our Massachusetts store. “If you are already an owner of our Doosan or Wacker products we have put a great inventory of parts right here on site and, if by some chance we don’t have what you need, the parts can easily be transferred from our Dracut, Mass., facility and be at our Bow store in no time at all. “We can dispatch our factory trained technicians and well-equipped service trucks right to your job site. We have stocked our showroom with common OEM parts for all product lines we sell and service along with a full small tool line used for dirt work including but not limited to Pneumatic tools, Keson and Razorback products, and a full line of Stihl power products, as well as shovels and rakes to make life for our customers just a little bit more convenient.” Continuing to build on that theme of customer convenience, Equipment East has put a tremendous investment into a fully stocked and equipped hydraulic shop. The company can create hydraulic hoses equipped with the proper couplings for just about any imaginable industrial application, according to Thomas. CEG
Equipment East’s new facility is located on Route 3-A in Bow, N.H.
The friendly staff at Equipment East is trained to handle every equipment and equipment support need. Whether it’s a generator, tamper, rake or shovel, or just about anything in between, you can pick it up at Equipment East.
While you’re there, make sure you check out the inventory of every imaginable lubricant or fluid needed on today’s job site.
Hoses and couplings for every application are available in the hydraulic shop.
Modern technology assures that the hoses are particulate free.

Antique Equipment on Display at Rockbuster’s Annual Show SHOW from page 1
equipment on display. Static displays included a 1916 Lombard logger from Johnson Logging Company of Campton, N.H. President and Chairman, Ted Valpey III welcomed guests to take a tour of the grounds in his 1926 Ford Engine Model T while describing the machinery being operated and the importance of the association. “We come here to play with the old equipment. Some are static displays and some we fire up and run,” he said. “These are the kind of machines that built the highways in this country and the older buildings that we have. That’s why we try to preserve that history the best we can.” One of the oldest operating machines on display was a 1928 Wilford Universal Power Shovel owned by Valpey. “We are losing the WWII generation who grew up with these cable machines, which is sad. We try to encourage this younger generation to learn how to run and take care of it and ultimately preserve it for future generations. That is part of what our club does,” said Valpey.

Sam Sicchio, a member of the Board of Directors, former president and more than 20-year association member, also was there to guide guests. “The public really likes to see the cable shovels. Nobody uses these anymore because they are high maintenance with a lot of moving parts, and the operator has to use his hands and his feet,” said Sicchio. “It takes a lot of skill to run these. The problem we are having is that only the old-timers run those. There aren’t too many young guys who know how to operate these.”
Steven White, owner of HK White & Son Excavation and Land Care in Chester, N.H., had his restored 1956 Caterpillar V6-9U cable dozer showcased on this year’s event announcement. White spent about three years restoring this dozer that was initially built for Department of the Air Force. The Northeast Rockbuster Chapter has about 400 active members throughout New England and is always looking forward to welcoming new members. For more information, visit northeastrockbusters.com.

Mass. Gov. Files Bond Bill BILL from page 16
“The Baker-Polito Administration’s approach to financing long-term capital investments balances the need to maintain and upgrade the Commonwealth’s infrastructure with a strong commitment to fiscal responsibility,” said Secretary of Administration and Finance Michael J. Heffernan. “We look forward to working with the Legislature on a bond authorization that will pave the way for these important transportation investments.” The bill responds to the needs of municipal partners by reauthorizing or creating five funding partnerships to supplement and complement the Chapter 90 program, and reauthorizes the popular Municipal Small Bridge program and Complete Streets program. In addition to the transit infrastructure partnerships and local bottleneck reduction programs already mentioned, a third municipal funding initiative would improve the condition of roadways by authorizing $100 million for a municipal pavement partnership program to help cities and towns care for state-numbered routes that are locally-owned. The Baker-Polito Administration recently finalized its five-year $18.3 billion transportation Capital Investment Plan for Fiscal Years 2020-2024. The authorizations in this bond bill would support investments and initiatives in the next annual update to the transportation Capital Investment Plan, which will include capital spending between Fiscal Years 2021-2025. Highlights of the transportation bond bill include: $10.1 billion for MassDOT Highway Division construction projects. This includes: • $5.6 billion for federal aid highway construction projects • $3.1 billion for non-federal aid highway construction projects such as $350 million for the Cape Cod Bridges Improvement program • $1.25 billion for a new Next Generation Bridge Financing program • $150 million for investments in noninterstate pavement throughout the Commonwealth $5.695 billion for MBTA improvements. This includes: • $3.4 billion for wide variety of improvements such as the continued implementation of the Better Bus project, the purchase of low- and zero-emission vehicles, and climate adaptation • $825 million for the South Coast Rail project • $595 million for the Green Line Extension project • $400 million for improvements to the Commuter Rail system, including earlyaction implementation of recommendations from the ongoing Rail Vision planning process
• $300 million for a direct capital transfer to the MBTA • $175 million for rail service improvements $490 million for municipal funding programs.
