January, after more than 50 years of service in the highway department. Tony began his career as a seasonal laborer in the Ramapo highway department in 1965 and after a four-year stint in the Marine Corps in the late 1960s, Tony returned to the highway department full time and worked his way up through the ranks the old fashioned way by hard work and dedication. It was never his intent to become Ramapo’s highway department

superintendent, but through fate in 2007, he took the helm. Tony’s story may not necessarily be uncommon in our industry, but it is throughout all industries these days — through hard work and passion for what he does, without any sense of entitlement, Tony became a leader of the highway department and his community. For me, as well as the rest of our Superintendent’s Profile staff, it is an honor to be featuring Tony in this issue on the cusp of his retirement.

Highway Superintendent

Tony Sharan H

and the Town of Ramapo

By Mary Yamin-Garone PROFILE CORRESPONDENT

Tony Sharan is a man comfortable in his own skin. He handles himself with confidence and ease as he tells of his journey to this job and his plans to leave things better than he found them. Born and bred in this history-laden town, Tony attended Spring Valley High School. He started working as a seasonal employee for the highway department in the summer of 1965. “In those days, there wasn’t much work around here,” he said. “You went to school or found a job. I returned to the department full-time in September of 1966 as a laborer. Due to a low draft number, a good friend of mine enlisted in the Marine Corps on the buddy plan. With the help of a few cold beers, I agreed to join, too. After spending nearly four years

in the service [28 months was overseas], I got out with an honorable discharge. Then I went back to work at the highway department. “Coming up through the ranks, there wasn’t a job I didn’t do,” Tony said. “I laid pipe, did blacktop work, cut trees, plowed snow — everything that’s involved with the highway department. During my course of employment, I moved up to motor equipment operator. Then I started taking civil service tests and attained the rank of highway maintenance supervisor 1 [road foreman] and then highway maintenance supervisor 2 and 3. That was the highest [rank] before becoming highway superintendent. I retired from that HMS3 position to become the super.” Tony admits it was never his intent to be a highway superintendent. So what happened? “In 2006, the former superintendent became ill and had to leave

office. At that time, I was an HMS3 [general foreman]. The villages we service approached me about taking the superintendent of highways job. I was appointed by the town board in June 2007 for six months. They had a special election that fall for the remaining year on the existing term, which I won.” This superintendent is currently vice president of the Rockland County Soil and Water Board; past president of the Rockland County Highway Superintendents Association; and a life member of the Monsey Fire Department. He also has been attending the Cornell Highway School for Highway Superintendents in Ithaca, N.Y., for the past 25 years. The classes focus on road and bridge maintenance techniques, traffic calming and safety measures, working with and managing difficult soil conditions, complying with New York State Department of Environmental Conservation drainage and sediment control measures, managing equipment and personnel and continuing education in programs related to maintaining public safety throughout your municipality. “You get to meet other highway supers. You learn a lot by talking to them and seeing how and why they do things.” Tony has been married to wife, Linda, since 1973. They have two children. Cristine and her husband, Jeff, live in New Paltz. She’s a painter and owns an antique store. Son James lives in Nyack and works for the highway department. In his spare time, the couple loves spending time in Florida and North Carolina.

Tony will hang up his superintendent’s hat in January 2017. “It was a family decision,” he said. “My wife said, ‘You’re not going to run anymore. You’ve been here long enough.’ She’s right. It’s been a good run. Fifty-three years. I’m looking forward to retirement.” That retirement will mean playing more golf and traveling. “We want to go out to the West Coast. My wife has never been across the country. I was based out there for a while and fell in love with certain areas. I also was stationed in North Carolina. That’s why I love it so much there.”

The Job The old highway department garage was built in the 1930s. It’s currently being utilized by the Department of Public Works (DPW). “The building our department resides in was built in 1989 and is approximately 17,000 sq. ft.” There are seven bays, which are about 85 ft. deep, for equipment storage, as well as office space, a locker room, lunchroom, tool room, sign shop and a 3,000-ton salt shed. “We don’t have enough space for all our trucks,” he said. “We work off a small stamp. We probably can fit 20 trucks. It’s undersized for what we have. Some of our trucks are sitting outside. So is our cold storage.” As highway superintendent, Tony is responsible for maintaining 490 miles of road that includes 180 lane miles in Ramapo, 260 lane miles in continued on page 14

the villages the department maintains and 50 lane miles of state roads. That translates into 27 plowing routes that take at least three hours to complete. In addition to the town, the highway department also services the roads for seven other villages: New Square, Kaiser, Montebello, Chestnut Ridge, New Hempstead, Wesley Hills and Pomona. “We put 27 trucks on the road. Some runs take at least 20 minutes to drive to; then, they have to drive back for another load of salt. The biggest run is 10 or 11 miles. The driver gets help if someone nearby gets done first. We put four trucks out in the village I live in. Four trucks doing 36 miles of road comes out to 9 miles per truck. Each storm is different. You might get more snow down south than they did up north. Once the roads are plowed and salted, the foreman sends the driver someplace else.” Tony’s crew of four highway maintenance supervisor 1s; one highway maintenance supervisor 2; and three highway maintenance supervisor 3s help him serve the town’s 135,000 residents. Key personnel include Edward O’Connell, general foreman; Thomas DeMont, assisThe road crew paints a crosswalk in Ramapo. 14

tant general foreman; and Jean Marie Garrison, secretary. “There wasn’t a deputy when I started and there isn’t one now,” Tony said. “Back in 1990 or ’91, the town split up the highway department and formed the DPW. It was kind of a shock. At one time, we had nine mechanics. Now we depend on the DPW’s men. The central garage fixes all the town’s vehicles, including the police, parks and sewer departments. Five mechanics and a shop foreman work there. Right

now, all the mechanics are getting my trucks serviced and prepped for the winter. The sewer department has eight employees. They’re equipment operators, laborers, sewer plant operators and various other classifications. Then there’s the engineering department with four engineers and two secretaries. That’s all separate from me. When it comes to crunch time, I might send two guys over there to work with them just to help out.

ones.” Under Tony’s direction, the town of Ramapo highway department runs on a total operating budget of $7 million that includes salaries and benefits for employees, an annual CHIPS allocation of $203,000 and a salt budget line of $450,000. Today’s tough economic times and skyrocketing prices can make it difficult for highway departments to buy new equipment. Having a moratorium on spending makes it even harder. “Due to some legal issues, we couldn’t bond anything this year,” Tony said. “The FCC told us the town attorney and supervisor couldn’t sign for bonds until their case was over. This past year, the town was going to bond me $1 million for the roads, but I never got the money. Instead, we used CHIPS money. It was all we had to work with. I had operating money for patching and pipe work and things like that, but I didn’t have capital funds.” Tony is hopeful things will turn around in 2017. “We need to replace two bucket loaders, two street sweepers, five plow trucks with multi-use dump bodies, two backhoes, a bucket truck and several small tandem dump trucks. I also want to buy a portable asphalt machine so we can make our own asphalt for the winter. continued on page 24

“I’ve been trying to get them to lease to buy but they don’t seem to want to move on it. They don’t seem interested. I’m still using a 2001 loader that’s in poor shape. We’ve been replacing parts just to keep it moving. I recently put $25,000 into it to make sure it’s ready for the winter. I think leasing may be the way to go. We’ll pay more because we’re buying a lease, but at least we can start using the equipment.” For Tony, state-of-the art technology in today’s vehicles has its pros and cons. On the plus side, “There’s a GPS in all our trucks so we know where to find them if they break down. The Doppler Radar lets us know when it’s going to snow. We don’t know exactly where the heaviest snow’s going to fall until the last two hours or so, but we know it’s going to snow. The new plow trucks are driver-friendly. They’re also more fuel efficient and have fewer breakdowns so we’re not spending much time or money on parts and equipment.” On the down side, “With the new computer systems, if you don’t have the program set up in your shop to make sure everything is working right or if the check engine light goes on, you have to call the dealer. There’s always a glitch somewhere along the way.” It’s not just the equipment that’s changed. The highway superintendent’s job has, too. “We’re doing more work at fixed times of the year. I bought a hot box a few years ago so I can blacktop all winter and our billing and tracking are more efficient.” continued on page 26

Over the years, Tony and his crew have dealt with numerous storms and hurricane-related events, the most recent being Hurricane Sandy. “There was a lot of damage. We couldn’t get on the roads because wires were down and we didn’t know if they were live or dead. At night, I’d get our standby crew out to make sure the wires were cut and tagged and the road would be cleared the next day. It took three months to clean up everything.” Since he’s been at the helm, Tony and his crew have: • Completed a major $7 million rebuild of the Maple Avenue area with new drainage. They also widened sidewalks to 7 ft., added decora-

tive lighting, widened the roadway with turning lanes and added crosswalks; • Cleaned up after Hurricanes Sandy and Irene, which included replacing a bridge on Mountain Road; • Replaced pipe on Hilda Lane and Hershel Terrace ($500,000); • Installed and implanted a 10,000-gallon salt brine plant; and • Conducted normal maintenance of the town’s drainage systems. He’d still like to: • Rebuild the highway garage to suit the department’s needs;

It’s been very satisfying.” About the Town of Ramapo* Established in 1791, the town of Ramapo is in Rockland County, N.Y., 28 miles northwest of New York City. Formerly known as New Hempstead, the name Ramapo is derived from an Algonquin word that meant “round pond” or “sweet water.” Ramapo developed on the early stagecoach route between New York City and Albany, which passed through the Ramapo pass. It was settled with Native Americans of the Lenape Tribe, slaves, German, Irish and Dutch settlers. Farming and any type of trade associated with farming were the only sources of making a Crews battle to keep the roads clear during a snowstorm.

living. The town of Ramapo and Rockland County played an important part in the Revolutionary War. Commander-in-Chief George Washington is said to have climbed the Ramapo Torne (near Sloatsburg) with a telescope to watch the July 24, 1777, sailing of the British fleet off Sandy Hook in New Jersey. General Washington and his troops set up an encampment in Suffern, in the west of Ramapo, due to its strategic location near a local mountain pass. In this encampment were two French soldiers, Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, comte de Rochambeau and Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette. The camp was on the path to Yorktown, Va., where the final battle of the American Revolution took place. During the war, the town of New Hempstead was formed from part of the town of Haverstraw in 1791, eight years after the end of the Revolution. In 1829, the name was changed to Ramapo. The present-day town was originally inhabited by the Munsee, a band of the Lenape nation. Their descendants now live on Stag Hill in Mahwah, N.J., where they form the state-recognized Ramapo Lenape Nation. The first railroad line across Rockland County was built in 1841 and ran from Piermont to Ramapo. By 1851, the line was extended to Lake Erie, and was considered an engineering marvel. Ramapo Iron Works, located near present-day State Route 17 at the base of Terse Mountain, was a producer of the first cut nails made in continued on page 40

America, wood screws, cotton cloth and spring steel in the first half of the 19th century. Its founder, Jeremiah H. Pierson, was influential in building the Nyack Turnpike and the New York and Erie Railroad across the county. A cotton mill is still standing on the east side of the road. In 1916, what would become State Route 59, which reached from Nyack to Spring Valley in 1915, was extended to Suffern and Hillburn. Ramapo became one of the first cities to use Adequate Public Facilities acts to tier growth and infrastructure together. As of the 2010 census, the total population was 126,595. If Ramapo were incorporated as a city, it would be the sixth-largest city in New York State. In 2012, CNNMoney magazine ranked Ramapo as the 58th best place in the United States and the best place to live in New York. Arts and leisure, business, housing, low crime rates and open spaces/parkland determined the town’s ranking. In the category of park space, percentage of land set aside for gardens and parks, the town finished first. Ramapo received the highest rating and one of the best in the country for its open spaces and parkland. Under the present administration, the town has been active in land purchasing in line with its open space policy. It has purchased an old sand quarry; built a sports complex; bought an old horse farm and made it into an Equestrian Center; operates a top-rated golf course; and built one of the best minor league baseball stadiums in the country.

The RP Series is now available in the United States and Canada via a select number of regional and local retailers and traditional Cat dealers that are part of the new Home & Outdoor Power sales and service network. Caterpillar engineering teams based in Illinois and Northern Ireland designed the new portable generators guided by extensive testing of competing generators as well as research to identify the design and usability features that customers value the most. The resulting generators include premium features ideally suited for landscape contractors — who often require portable power for landscape maintenance and construction, snow removal and storm response. Easy to Use, Rugged and Safe The RP Series generators are easy to use. Everything needed to operate the generator is easily accessible in one convenient, lighted control panel. A multi-function display enables users to toggle between lifetime running hours, session running hours, power output and run time to easily monitor generator performance and to determine when it’s time to refuel or service the unit. To power multiple devices, the RP5500, RP6500 E and RP7500 E have multiple outlets, both 120V and 240V.

Two models of the RP Series are available with a lithium ion batterystart option. The battery delivers three-times longer life than the standard battery provided in other models. The RP Series generators also feature a compact design — up to 4 in. (10 cm) shorter than comparable models — and a low center of gravity to reduce tipping. The design makes maneuvering easier, even on hills and uneven ground, and the generators take up less space in truck beds and storage locations, according to the manufacturer. The Cat portable generators are built for reliability and durability. The solid steel frame and enclosed roll cage protect generator components from damage. Bundled wires are tucked away in the frame, ensuring wires won’t snag or pull loose when moving in and out of storage and vehicles. Solid, never-flat wheels eliminate punctures on job sites. The generators also feature automatic shutdown when oil levels drop too low to protect the generator from damage. The RP Series make best use of safety systems to help protect people and machines. GFCI protection, covered outlets and circuit breaker protect against electric shock and generator overload. Automatic voltage regulation (AVR) generates clean power that won’t damage delicate tools or appliances. And an extra-large fuel tank runs a generator for as long as 17 hours (varies by model and load). A recessed fuel well catches drips to prevent fuel spillage on the floor or hot engine. Caterpillar is expanding the home and outdoor power portfolio and anticipates additional product launches in 2017. For more information, visit www.cat.com/homeandoutdoorpower.

Use These Tips to Prep Your Wheel Loader for a Busy Winter Snow Season Mike Stark, Doosan wheel loader product specialist, provides five tips to help you get the most out of your wheel loader this winter.

By Allison McNeal SPECIAL TO SUPERINTENDENT’S PROFILE

With winter quickly approaching, it is important to think about preparing your wheel loader for winter operation, specifically snow removal. Before the first snow arrives, it is important to ensure your wheel loader is properly maintained and prepared to push, lift and dump snow. Mike Stark, Doosan wheel loader product specialist, provides five tips to help you get the most out of your wheel loader this winter. 1. Review the manufacturer’s operation and maintenance manual. It may seem like common sense, but it can’t be overstated. Review your machine’s operation and maintenance manual for recommended intervals and a checklist of seasonal maintenance items, as well as oil and fluid recommendations. Ideally, you and your wheel loader opera64

tors should request maintenance training and assistance from your local equipment dealer on proper techniques, and familiarize yourself with decals and key maintenance points on the machine. Your wheel loader operation and maintenance manual should instruct you on what machine components should be inspected regularly. They include the following: • Fluids and filters • Battery • Tire pressure • Heating and defrosting systems 2. Check fluids and filters. Colder temperatures can affect a wheel loader’s ability to run efficiently, especially if it does not have the proper engine oil. That is why it is important to match wheel loader fluids to the proper ambient temcontinued on page 66

peratures. Most wheel loader manufacturers recommend CJ4 engine oils to protect the machine’s vital engine components. “If you use incorrect diesel engine oil, it can cause costly damage to the machine’s internal components,” Stark said. “These components can become plugged, corroded and ultimately, not work efficiently. Make sure to refer to your owner’s manual for instructions on filling your machine at the recommended intervals with the appropriate fluid in the correct increments.” Also, verify the quality of fuel you are using from your provider, checking to make sure water and other contaminants are not present in your fuel. “Switching to a special winter-blend fuel — typically No. 1 and No. 2 diesel — can help you prepare for cold temperatures,” Stark said. “Investing in quality fuel that is blended appropriately for the climate and season may give you better peace of mind, lower your consumption, provide fewer filter changes and deliver long component life. “It’s a good idea to top off the diesel tank at the end of the day or shift,” he said. “Overall, it’s a good practice to follow year-round. It reduces the air in the tank. The wheel loader heats up during the day. When the operator turns it off, it cools down, and no matter what, you start getting condensation in the tank.” Another item to consider is the type of aftertreatment system, especially those machines equipped with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) meet Tier IV emission standards. SCR components require diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). This aqueous solution is susceptible to variations in hot and cold temperatures. “In very cold temperatures, DEF can freeze so wheel loader owners should make sure they keep DEF in storage during the winter months,” Stark said. “Purity and concentration are critical with DEF, so make sure to work with a local dealer to better understand how to store and handle DEF.” Stark also recommends to inspect the air filtration system and to always use the correct replacement filter to reduce the risk of premature engine failure. 3. Inspect tires, batteries and components. Winter maintenance also means checking the tires, batteries and other wheel loader components before using or storing the machine. Undetected leaks or improper inflation can lead to premature wear and potentially tire failure over time. “Low tire pressure can decrease push capabilities, which is not ideal for snow removal applications,” Stark said. “Using L3 radial tires may be best during winter because they provide good traction in snowy conditions. Inflating tires with Nitrogen gas is a good alternative to assist in maintaining proper tire pressure.” He recommends all contractors and their operators become familiar with the manufacturer’s operation and maintenance manual for proper psi and inflate the tires accordingly. Before cold weather hits, it also is important to inspect the wheel loader’s battery and charge it if needed. “There is always a draw on the battery, so unless the battery has been maintained or disconnected while stored, it will slowly run down and 66

will need to be charged before use,” Stark said. For batteries that need to be charged, a trickle charger can be connected to help build the voltage at a slower rate, improving the battery life. Battery connections should also be inspected and cleaned at this time. Corroded terminals can cause hard starting and charging issues. Additionally, check the cab door and window seals to ensure there are no leaks or cracks, and install a new windshield wiper blade and add low-temperature washer fluid. Be sure to replace any burnt-out bulbs to ensure your operators have the appropriate lighting when working in low light or at night. 4. Store the wheel loader inside. Cold weather requires batteries to generate nearly twice as many cranking amps in order to turn over. If possible, in extreme cold, when the temperature falls below zero degrees Fahrenheit, keep your wheel loader in a heated facility; it’s easier on the machine. “If owners are not able to keep wheel loaders inside, it is important to park the machine out of the wind,” Stark said. “It is also advantageous to keep the equipment out of direct sunlight, if possible.” If you are unable to keep your wheel loader inside a building, at least plug in the block heater; available as an option. A block heater will help keep the machine’s engine warm, making it easier to start while reducing wear on engine components. If you do not have a block heater, consider purchasing and installing one in fall. 5. Prepare attachments. Wheel loaders are valuable fleet assets during winter for a number of reasons, but one of the most prominent is their ability to be fitted with application-specific attachments which can be made easier with the use of optional quick couplers. Attachments such as quick couplers, buckets, pallet forks and snow pushers deserve the same attention as the machine to which it is connected. Perform visual checks of attachment components such as hoses, cylinders, guards, and cutting edges for damage. Make sure snow pusher attachments interfacing with a bucket are properly secured with chains. By following these five tips, you can be better prepared to tackle snow piles and help keep your machine running strong all winter.

Cool Down After Working Going through a cool down procedure after a shift is a good practice to follow, said Mike Stark, Doosan wheel loader product specialist. “If you’re working hard, even in very cold weather, everything heats up. If you let it cool down, it benefits the engine life. A lot of people immediately stop the machine when they are done working. Wait a few minutes before you shut off your engine.”

Case Construction Equipment has a new line of six heavy- and lightduty sectional snow pushers compatible with both current and older model wheel loaders, skid steers, compact track loaders and backhoes. The independent moldboard sections move independently, allowing each section to shift up and down in response to uneven pavement or obstacles. The light-duty models, designed for compact equipment and backhoes, feature pushers up to 13-ft. (4 m) wide. The heavy-duty line offers pushers up to 17-ft. (5 m) wide for full-sized wheel loaders. The Case pushers also are compatible with competitive equipment and allow a snow removal contractor to standardize on a single type/style of pusher across their fleet, according to the manufacturer. Each pusher features a Hardox 450 steel cutting edge that scrapes cleanly down the pavement and, if obstacles are encountered, only a single section of the pusher is lifted off the ground. This ensures that the other sections of the pusher remain flush with the ground and more snow is removed on the first pass than traditional snow pushers and snowplows. The new pushers also provide additional advantages that help snow contractors keep operating costs down: • Plowing an area cleanly on the first pass helps reduce the need for secondary passes, ultimately allowing the work to be done faster and with less wear and tear on the machine/pusher. • The ability for the leading edge of the pusher to “trip” over obstacles helps prevent equipment damage, and can also help reduce instances of property damage. • Removing more snow and ice on the first pass also can significantly reduce salt use, saving additional costs in labor and resources. • If a section becomes damaged, that single modular section can be replaced instead of replacing the whole pusher, a significant cost savings.
