Bigger is hopefully going to be a whole lot better for New York State residents and for all professionals who work on our state’s roads and bridges.

Recently, the DOT approved a new five-year $32.8 billion Capital Plan that will support major infrastructure projects throughout the state.

It’ll fund new large-scale projects, including the Kensington Expressway in Buffalo; the Livingston Avenue Bridge in Albany; Interstate 86 Conversion in Orange and Sullivan counties; and the Inner Loop North in Rochester. It’ll also continue to fund existing projects, including the Hunts Point Interstate Access Improvement and the Replacement of I-81 in Syracuse.

The new capital plan is the largest investment ever in the state’s transportation infrastructure and represents a $9.4 billion (40.2 percent) increase over the prior five-year plan period, according to NYSDOT. The cornerstone of the new transportation capital plan, the DOT says, is the targeted and record level of investment directed toward local roads and bridges in smaller municipalities throughout New York. According to the DOT, under the enacted transportation capital plan, direct support for local roads and bridges increases to more than $6.1 billion over the five-year period, an increase of nearly $2.5 billion (69 percent) including the doubling of funding available through the BRIDGE NY program and the new Operation Pave our Potholes initiative.

What’s also looking to be bigger and better than ever before is the N.Y.S. Highway & Public Works Expo, which will be Oct. 19 in Syracuse. We’re happy to report as of press time that the large floor exhibit space is 75 percent sold and the 10 by 10 exhibit spaces are 25 percent sold. That’s pretty good considering we’re only in June. We want to thank the strong commitment we’ve already received from our longtime exhibitors.

Please contact Teddy McKeon Jr. for information about exhibiting at the Expo. You can reach him at tmckeonjr@cegltd.com and 800/5232200.

And finally, if you plan on attending the Expo this fall, maybe mention to your favorite sales reps that you’d like to meet up with them at the show. If their companies aren’t already exhibiting, we can assure them that the Expo will once again prove to be a great venue to get together to discuss and learn about all the new equipment and services available to you and your departments.

Thanks, and have a great start to summer. P

Superintendent’s Profile • www.superintendentsprofile.com • June 2022

Highway Superintendent H

Bill Holvig

and the Town of Mohawk Bill Holvig may just be one of the longest running highway superintendents. He’s been at the helm of the town of Mohawk Highway Department for 27 years. He stepped into the superintendent’s shoes in 1995 and never looked back.

And it doesn’t look like he’s ready to retire any time soon.

Born in Brooklyn, Bill and his family moved to Clarkstown in 1960.

In 1980, they moved to the town of Esperance in Schoharie County.

Then, in 1993, Bill moved to Fonda and he’s been there for nearly 29 years.

By Mary Yamin-Garone

PROFILE CORRESPONDENT

“I started out as a carpenter and then got into construction management,” he said. “I traveled all over the Albany area and finally got tired of traveling. One of the counselors asked if I wanted to run for highway superintendent. Actually, they were going to do an appointment because the previous highway super was going to retire and the board was going to appoint someone. So, I put in an application along with one other guy.

They appointed me in November 1995. I ran again in 1996. The same guy ran against me. I beat him and I’ve been here ever since.”

In his spare time, Bill and wife, Judy, enjoy their two Great Danes, Dottie and Deuce, and their horse Dee Dee. Bill also likes hunting on his property, fishing the lakes in the Adirondacks and riding his motorcycle “anywhere.”

“I don't like riding in the city,” he said. “I only take back roads. It’s too dangerous. I get on my bike and it’s an instant getaway. I’ve pretty much given up boating and snowmobiles. I’m sleeping in the winter now.”

Bill is the treasurer of the Montgomery County Highway Superintendents Association.

“I’m pretty involved. I set up all the meetings and the golf outing. I also do our yearly books. I enjoy it. It’s a volunteer thing.”

As for life after this, Bill confessed his ultimate dream is “to work on my own place doing woodworking and projects around the house.”

He’s quick to add, however, that “I’d like to stay here and work for the town as long as I can. It keeps me young.”

Getting the Job Done The highway department’s facilities consist of a main garage, a back barn that’s attached to the garage and an annex building that’s used for storage. continued on page 12

“There’s also a large pole barn where we can back the trucks in on an angle,” Bill said. “We only have two doors. One on either end. Then we have a back barn with four doors. That’s more storage and it’s heated as well. There’s never enough room. You can always use more space.

“We didn’t have a salt storage,” he added. “There was a sand pile and they’d dump the salt by the sandpile and cover it with a tarp. With my construction background, we built three salt sheds. Now we have 300 times the salt.”

The town of Mohawk’s highway department is in charge of maintaining 63.18 lane miles of town road. They also maintain 68.94 miles of

county roads. During the winter months that translates into five plowing routes that take roughly three to three-and-a-half hours.

As you might imagine, a small-town highway department requires an equally small staff.

Bill’s crew of nine full-timers helps him serve the town’s 2,442 residents. His staff includes deputy/MEO Mark Wilmot; MEOs Greg McDuffie, Chuck McSpirit, Tom Subik, DJ Thum and Brian Scoonmaker and part-time MEOs Randy Hart and Andy Ault and mowing laborer Dale Pearo. continued on page 18

When it comes to his crew, Bill has nothing but praise.

“I have a great bunch of guys,” he said. “They work well together.

There aren’t many of us and I wouldn’t ask any of them to do something I wouldn’t do myself. Usually, I’m right in the hole with them. We work as a tight knit group. You don’t always see that.

“Over the years, the guys that left went on to have their own businesses. We’re still friends. I hired them because they were go-getters and workers. If somebody wants to leave to better themselves, I won’t hold them back or hold it against them.”

Under Bill’s direction, the town of Mohawk highway department runs on a total operating budget of $1,108,052. That includes salaries and benefits for employees; an annual CHIPS allocation of $93,670.65; a payment of $24,706.60 for PAVE NY; and another $21,511.41 for Extreme Winter Recovery.

To carry out its duties, the town uses a well-rounded fleet of equipment that includes: • 2017 Ford F-550 5-ton dump truck; • 1998 International dump truck/sander; continued on page 24

The crew recently worked on bank stabilization along Veeder Road, after the road was damaged by heavy rain.

“When I got here, we had 1970s dump trucks with gas motors,” Bill said. “They were junk. You could hardly go out and haul anything without working on them. We had a few International dump trucks. I started in November and the truck they ordered came in March. It was an all-wheel drive truck with no plow equipment. They were going to take the plow equipment off an old 1960s Dodge they had and transferred it onto a 1995 truck. Now, you have all this old equipment going on to a brand new one, figured they’d save some money.

“My mechanic ended up working for almost a year to transfer the equipment. I bought two sanders and then we used that truck. It worked out. I mean, a lot of the old stuff was weakened. At this point, my oldest plow truck is the main plow truck as of 2015. We have 2019s and 2000s. They’re all Western Stars with lots of interchangeable parts. They all basically have the same motor and stock different filters.” continued on page 36

Tale of Two Floods Over the years, the town had to deal with flooding.

According to Bill, “One time, the river came up and the locks weren’t operating properly. Basically, the river was running through. We had current running through the town barn. The garage doors were open because the current goes right through our garage. I think there was a flood in 2011.”

The town also experienced Hurricane Irene and then another one.

“We had about two feet of water in our town garage and about a foot of water in the town hall. The first flood had pressboard deck desks. I went in there with a sledgehammer, busted them up and threw them away. continued on page 40

The department is rebuilding a rear flail mower. Bill said it’ll be “like new with all new bearings and knives.”

The crew plows a town road after a recent late-season snowstorm.

“After that, I talked them into buying desks with metal bottoms, so they can be sterilized and reused. Everything needed to be gutted four feet up in the garage and town hall. There was hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage. Our roads were devastated. We got everything back together and then we had another flood.”

When Bill started, Common Roads, a main artery through town, had been closed for six years.

“There’s a one-lane bridge. The bank was unstable and slid into the creek. I wanted to get that road open for fire protection being a main artery. It’s a shortcut to Johnstown. The road should have been open. I was trying to find outside money since, at that time, my CHIPS money was about $24,000, which didn't really accomplish much. I was able to find a $40,000 Nonpoint Source Pollution grant through Montgomery County Soil Conservation for the siltation of the creek bed. The caveat is also a classified trout stream. It was a matching grant. Our portion was in-kind services. I had to acquire a piece of land so we could move the road back from the creek. continued on page 44

Bill’s horse, Dee Dee. 44

“We acquired that and then I borrowed the county’s bulldozer to cut back the bank to get the proper slope. We put under drains in to carry the water so the base wouldn’t be compromised. I contracted out the construction of 100-foot concrete retaining wall that was tied into the bridge abutment. That allowed us to open up the road up and it’s held up very well.

“I taped it last year. Now speed is an issue. I plan to put a double yellow line and some white lines on the edges. Because the way people drive on roads that don’t have lines. They’re distracted. You come to a blind hill and they’re right in the center.”

Other projects include: • On a one-lane road, there’s a one-lane steep hill because the bank was close by. Bill hired a contractor with an excavator, cut down all the trees and raised the roadbed to make it two lanes; and • Last year, the crew did a large double culvert on England Road, a road Bill plans to pave. The county helped with their two excavators in mid-March.

Seeing projects come to fruition is one of Bill’s favorite parts of the job.

“It’s nice to see a project completed in such a way that it comes in under budget, on time and the way you wanted it. Everybody’s happy and what’s better than everybody being happy?” continued on page 50 Superintendent’s Profile • www.superintendentsprofile.com • June 2022

The new 904 P-Tier offers obstacle intelligence features, such as the advanced vision system. This allows increased visibility to sides of the machine by integrating two digital cameras on the rearview mirror platform and combines views into a dedicated single display in the cab.

Deere Showcases New 904 P-Tier Wheel Loader With More Tech

John Deere is bolstering its wheel loader lineup with the 904 P-Tier wheel loader.

Available later in 2022, the new 904 P-Tier is a two-pass loader solution that provides the durability and reliability to take on processed aggregate stockpiles and more efficiently load trucks or rail cars all day long, according to the manufacturer.

Based on proven components and designs, the new 904 P-Tier offers obstacle intelligence features, such as the advanced vision system. This allows increased visibility to sides of the machine by integrating two digital cameras on the rearview mirror platform and combines views into a dedicated single display in the cab.

The 904 P-Tier also offers an improved rear object detection system.

This feature overlays a projected vehicle reversible path within the same dedicated monitor, enhancing the operator’s experience and situational awareness. These features, coupled with premium cab comfort options, ensure operators remain productive throughout the day.

Designed to do the heavy lifting, the rugged 904 P-Tier comes equipped with 9.8- and 9.3-cu. yd. (7.5- and 7.1-cu m) material-handling buckets with integrated spill guards and curved side cutters, and seatmounted hydraulic controls for easier and more intuitive operation.

High-capacity, heavy-duty axles with standard axle cooling filtration 46

deliver durability in difficult conditions compared to previous models.

With its large tilt cylinders and impressive hydraulic pressures, engine power and torque, the 904 P-Tier provides the muscle for operators to work comfortably. With advantages, such as fuel-efficient engines, lockup torque converters and a dedicated steering pump, operators can do more while burning less fuel, according to the manufacturer.

“The 904 P-Tier is built off the success of the 844L aggregate handler.

It’s equipped with key features, like increased horsepower, breakout force, hydraulic pressures, and bucket offerings. The 904 P-Tier is purpose-built for the rugged demands of the aggregates industry, and the new model identity supports this approach,” said Luke Gribble, solutions marketing manager of loaders and aggregates at John Deere Construction & Forestry. “In addition, we wanted to advance our machines technology offerings by adding features that improve the experience of those who operate these machines.”

The 904 P-Tier is JDLink compatible, providing real-time machine data and alerts, leveraging a suite of dealer and factory tools to deliver increased productivity, uptime and lower daily operating costs. JDLink is now available without a subscription and no cost.

When all is said and done, how would Bill Holvig want to be remembered?

“As someone who tried to make the town a better place.”

About the Town of Mohawk The town of Mohawk is located in Montgomery County. It includes the village of Fonda and part of Tribes Hill. The town is bounded on the south by the Mohawk River. Fulton County is the northern border and the towns of Palatine and Amsterdam represent the western and eastern borders, respectively.

The town is home to the county seat, Fonda. Fonda also is home to the Fonda Fairgrounds and Speedway. The National Kateri Tekakwitha Shrine is located in the town, as are several other historic landmarks. The Montgomery County offices also are located in Fonda. continued on page 58

The town of Mohawk is rich with local history reaching back to when the Indian tribe “Mohawks” inhabited the area and when the Jesuit priests came to set up the Kateri Tekakwitha Shrine we still know today.

After the American Revolution, the area of New York State then known as Tryon County was renamed Montgomery County in honor of General Richard Montgomery. With the railroad being built in 1834, towns along its path became more prosperous, with Fonda being one of those towns.

With the increase in population and the county seat, which at the time was Johnstown (a city only accessible by stage), Fonda became the new county seat in 1836.

The original size of Montgomery was quite large before other counties began to break off from it. The final county to form from Montgomery County was Fulton in 1838 and the southern half of the town of Johnstown became the town of Mohawk on April 4, 1837.

Mowing tractors — one has a side and rear flail and the other has an arm that reaches 20 ft.

This cast sign was hit by a car and was snapped in half. The department had a local shop weld it together and the crew painted it, as it does with all of the markers in town.

The town of Mohawk highway department continues to work on a bank stabilization project on Veeder Road.
