Superintendent of Highways & Public Works

David Widger

and the Town of Ogden

By Lori Lovely PROFILE CORRESPONDENT

When all the items on your bucket list have been checked off, you know it’s time to retire. That’s exactly what David Widger, superintendent of highways and public works for the town of Ogden, Spencerport, N.Y., is preparing to do after a 44-year career. His list of accomplishments includes adding a second salt barn, rebuilding the town’s roads and constructing a new highway facility. It might be those last two that he’s most proud of. The highway building was completed in 2004; it’s divided into office space, the highway garage and an employee area. Most of the roads in Monroe County were built in the 1930s and 1940s. Thanks to David, all town roadways have been rebuilt and there is a road maintenance schedule in place for upkeep. Not only did David improve the 125 lane miles of town roads he’s responsible for, but he also widened them and paved the shoulders. All non-subdivision roads have been widened to 28 feet of road base with hard shoulders in the last 15 years. That provides a place to walk, benefits farm equipment traveling on the roads and results in less plow damage and reduced maintenance. “Our road system is up to today’s standards,” David said proudly. “Last year we spent minimal time patching pot holes.”

He explained that his process saves time. “You spend more time in the beginning to save time later. We make a box hole and patch correctly so it lasts.” Many of the procedures David implemented will last long past his tenure, such as the town of Ogden Mapping System (TOMS.) and Geographic Information Services he helped create. TOMS provides electronic maps of the storm, sanitary and lighting systems, allowing the staff to look at a property’s plans if they receive a call about a problem. “We can answer most questions immediately,” he said.

Superintendent’s Profile • www.superintendentsprofile.com • October 2019

Equipped for the Job David revolutionized the way the town purchases big iron with his equipment program. All equipment is on a replacement schedule for trade-in or sale. “I designed the program to get a better handling on the budget for replacement,” he said. Determining when a vehicle or piece of equipment needs to be replaced leads to more uptime. continued on page 18

Dave Widger (second from L) with his highway office staff Nicole Dadson (L), clerk 2 (two years with the department); Malene Case, clerk 1 (18 years with the department); and Rick Blodgett, roads foreman (35 years with the department).

The skilled mechanics in charge of the highway garage also help maximize uptime for the equipment. In addition to performing regularly scheduled preventive maintenance and conducting hands-on inspections, they use software programs to help ensure every piece of equipment is running at peak performance. When a new piece of equipment needs to be purchased, it’s done on a cash-only basis. “When I took over, we carried five loans a year for new equipment,” David recalled. “Between the bond fees and interest, we could have bought a pickup truck with that money.” During his first year, he transitioned to a one-year program and bought that pickup. He continued revamping the budget and “bit the bul18

let for a couple years” until he was able to save money for purchases. Today, “if we don’t have the money, we don’t buy it. The only loan we had was in 2004 when we built the new highway building.” They paid that off in nine years, he said. The town’s inventory includes five pickup trucks, one SUV, a van, one grapple truck, one sewer truck, two sweepers, a semi, two one-ton dump trucks, five six-wheel dump trucks, eight 10-wheel dump trucks, four military surplus dump trucks, three loaders, a skid steer, four excavators, a tractor, a grader, eight trailers, three rollers and assorted attachments and pieces of small equipment. continued on page 20

The highway building was completed in 2004; it’s divided into office space, the highway garage and an employee area.

Salty Language In a location where winters see an average of 100-130 inches of snow and “plowing is our work for four to five months of the year,” according to David, who’s in charge of overseeing snow and ice removal on 231 lane miles (124 miles of town roads and 107 miles of county and state roads). It pays to have plenty of salt storage. Under David’s direction, a second salt storage barn was added in 2017, allowing them to use one for straight salt and one for a salt mixture. The previous salt storage facility was built in 1995. They now have capacity under cover for 3,500 tons of regular salt and 2,500 tons of mixed salt. On average, they go through approximately 4,500 tons of salt a year. He has also modified the plowing schedules to make them more efficient and to enable one-man plowing. A full loop now takes three hours or less. continued on page 24 20

The Ogden highway department is transitioning from red trucks to orange and sporting the new color.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work Perhaps one of David’s most important legacies is his work ethic. “It comes from the top-down,” he said. He learned the value of hard work, dedication and responsibility on the family farm, where they raised crops, and in the Army, where he spent 33 months in Germany. David has a strong work ethic. However, instilling a work ethic in employees is another matter. Ultimately, he believes that a good work ethic “comes from the top” and that you have to give respect to get respect. You also have to lead by example — which he does, pitching in on the tough jobs and working alongside the crew. He also teaches the crew. “Everyone needs to know how to do everything,” David said. continued on page 28 24

The department’s old highway office building.

It’s a philosophy he’s been passing along since he started, and which is based on his beginning in the department as a laborer who saw time being wasted and people being underutilized. “I don’t have just one excavator operator — half the crew can run it. You have to be prepared for anything that can happen by having more people who can run the equipment.” When you have a strong work ethic, it’s natural to take pride in your work. “I like to be able to drive down a road and say, ‘We did this.’ There’s no ‘I’ in that. I can’t do this job without a good team. Being a leader is difficult, but I have a good crew. Most of them have been here a long time and some have a military background.” continued on page 30 28

Even as highway superintendent, David Widger still likes to get away from the office and paperwork to run equipment. Superintendent’s Profile • www.superintendentsprofile.com • October 2019

Ogden highway department employees gather at the office.

Another accomplishment is the streamlining of office work and staff. Of the 19 full-time employees, 17 are crew members and two are office staff. A few seasonal employees join during the summer. Directly under David is the Roads Foreman, Rick Blodgett. There are three working foremen: Jason Eve, Dwain Gratton and Rich Vargo. The head mechanic is Doug Kimmel. The office staff consists of Malene Case, Clerk 1, and Nicole Dadson, Clerk 2. The rest of the crew consists of seven mechanical equipment operators, two senior mechanical equipment operators, an additional mechanic and two laborers with CDLs. The crew works Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the summer months and then goes to 24/7 shifts for the snow and ice season each year. The office staff works Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., year-round. 30

By the Numbers With a total annual operating budget of $4,144,000, Ogden’s highway department is responsible for road maintenance, drainage, ponds, sewers, lighting districts, G.I.S. and subdivision planning. David explained that he works with the town planning department on drainage projects when they’re building just about anything. They also work with Monroe County on many county road projects and work with all of the surrounding towns and villages on projects. They provide salt to two school systems within Ogden. There’s no wastewater treatment plant, but they have five pump stations. Their 2019 CHIPS. allotment is $84,677.81, PAVE NY is $19,328.55 and EWR is $14,934.07. continued on page 32

The department now has a new barn strictly for mix.

Communication Although hand-helds are used on the job sites, radios are installed in all the vehicles and equipment. The office building and garage also have a digital radio system that was installed in 2017. The offices also are equipped with computers for the radios, for salt usage downloading, for G.I.S., for the mechanic to do troubleshooting and for the dispatcher and foreman to access their daily maintenance sheets and to view the TOMS. David observes that computers don’t save paper. Paperwork — one of his least favorite aspects of the job — has to be done, nevertheless. “We have to document everything and bill other municipalities for work.” continued on page 38 32

The department has two new barns — one for mix and the other for salt, seen here.

To keep the community informed of projects and closures, they post notifications on the town’s website that is updated accordingly. They also send out project cards to inform residents of upcoming work in their area. David is diligent about responding to questions and concerns from the residents. “I always get back to everyone. I work for the taxpayers. That’s part of the job.” He takes satisfaction in helping residents solve problems. “That’s what you’re here for. That’s what the job is.” Career Highlights The job has a new challenge every day, he said. “Every day’s different. You have to be ready for change. You live with the weather and adjust.” 38

Weather is the cause of his worst days on the job — specifically, the four to five ice storms when he and the crew worked around the clock amidst the devastation while the power was down. There have been a lot of days on the job — fortunately, more good than bad. David’s tenure dates back to 1975, when, at the age of 18, he started working on the highway crew. He advanced to become assistant superintendent and ended up running the department after one superintendent had a heart attack and another one left office early. Because of his experience, he thought he “might as well run for the job since I’d been doing it so long anyway.” He officially became superintendent in 1999, winning re-election of consecutive four-year terms, the most recent of which will expire Dec.31, 2020. “I’ve been here 43 years — since 1975, except for three years in the military,” he said. continued on page 46

David Widger’s list of accomplishments includes adding a second salt barn, rebuilding the town’s roads and constructing a new highway facility, completed in 2004.

Hometown Boy Born and raised in Ogden, David has lived there all his life. He knows every inch of it — every road, every creek, every pond. He also knows the history of Ogden, which was founded in 1817. The village of Spencerport, which is within Ogden town limits, was established in 1867. Ogden now has about 20,000 residents. He hasn’t done a lot of traveling, but he hopes to see every state in the country once his wife, Sharon, retires from driving the school bus. Until then, he said he has “all kinds of stuff to do. I’ll be working on some46

thing!” Like his camp in the Adirondacks on Black Lake, where he likes to go ice fishing. When he’s not up there, his six grandchildren may keep him busy. If not, there’s always golf. However, as he looks forward to retirement this year, David also can look back on his accomplishments with pride. As his clerk, Malene Case, said, he has “accomplished everything he wanted to on his bucket list, as far as buildings and road work, because of planning and good budgeting.” continued on page 48

In fact, he has exceeded his bucket list by establishing many programs, procedures and inspections to keep everything upgraded and running smoothly. She spoke for everyone when she said, “Dave is leaving the highway department in the best possible place for the incoming new superintendent.” His legacy will be one of teamwork, dedication and positive attitude. “There’s always a good side to everything,” David said. “I enjoy my job, but I’ve been here a long time. It’s time to move forward.” P

SnowWolf Introduces New Floating Sectional Cutting Edge Accessory

Each individual floating cutting edge can recess up to 1-½ in. (3.8 cm).

SnowWolf has introduced its new ActivEdge, a floating sectional cutting edge with composite springs that are new to the snow-removal industry. The ActivEdge is an upgrade option for SnowWolf’s standard AR400 steel cutting edge on the QuattroPlow, QuattroPlow XT, QuattroPlow TR, UltraPlow and UltraPusher TE. “The ActivEdge is an accessory upgrade that takes our best plows up one more notch in effectiveness and efficiency while introducing another SnowWolf innovation to our industry,” SnowWolf Co-CEO Mark Holman said. “Its development began as a reaction to requests from snow-removal companies, independent contractors and our dealers. We’re proud of the fact that we’ve been able to deliver what they need and want.” Like traditional sectional plows, the ActivEdge has multiple sections that move, or float, over obstacles or uneven surfaces. Since they conform more closely to the surfaces, regardless of contours or obstacles, the result is a cleaner scrape than is possible with a one-piece plow. However, the ActivEdge’s scrape is even cleaner than traditional sectional plows because the cutting edge sections pivot in addition to moving up and down. Rather than entire moldboard sections rising over obstacles or con-

tours, leaving spaces between sections uncleared, each ActivEdge section pivots to clear a greater percentage of the surface under that particular section. The result is a cleaner cut across the full length of the plow, according to the manufacturer. The cleaner scrape also means contractors do not need to use as much salt on plowed surfaces. Co-CEO Jerry Holman said SnowWolf designed and engineered the ActivEdge for the company’s signature simplicity, durability and versatility at a cost that makes sense. Just three or four bolts hold each ActivEdge section in place, so maintenance or cutting edge replacement are fast and easy. The long-lasting cutting edge is AR400 steel, an alloy created specifically for maximum abrasion resistance, toughness and durability. The composite springs are impervious to water and all other natural elements, maintain a consistent compression strength through temperatures from below minus 40 F to more than 150 F; and has exceptional rebound characteristics, according to the manufacturer. ActivEdge sections come in 18- and 24-in. (45.7 and 61 cm) lengths, depending on the length of the plow. It fits any of the five SnowWolf plow accessories with total widths from 6 to 11 ft. (1.8 to 3.3 m). The ActivEdge also can be retrofitted to previously purchased SnowWolf plows by simply replacing the trip edge. “We took our time developing the ActivEdge because we wanted to make sure we got it right,” SnowWolf Co-CEO Jerry Holman said. “The result is a floating sectional cutting edge that will work exactly the same way regardless of the elements, plowing conditions or storage temperatures.” For more information, call 800/905-2265 or visit snowwolfplows.com. 

Tracey Road Equipment Unveils New Oshkosh H Series Blower

Jerry Tracey (L), president and founder of Tracey Road Equipment, discusses the new H series with Tim Donahue, regional sales manager of Oshkosh Airport Products.

Tracey Road Equipment unveiled the all new and widely anticipated Oshkosh H series single engine blower On Aug. 13, 2019, to upstate New York airport authorities and municipalities. The new blower, with its new compact design, is as nimble as it gets, and Oshkosh’s engineers designed a blower head that perfectly matches vehicle horsepower to match out efficiencies, according to the company. Managing engine rpm is no longer a focus of the operator’s attention with the new Oshkosh H series. The Oshkosh Work Control syncs the blower with the wheels so that the operator can focus all attention on what lies ahead. “This machine was originally designed as an alternative to our larger model, which is primarily used in the airport market,” said Tim Donahue, regional sales manager of Oshkosh Airport Products. “However, with this compact size and maneuverability, we continued on page 74 72

are seeing a lot of interest from DOTs across the country.” This truck is well suited for applications where there is a significant snowfall that needs to be blown out of the way. However, it is equally useful for many municipalities that have situations where snow needs to be loaded into trucks to be hauled off site. “For a smaller version of our bigger machines the H series is a work horse,” Donahue said. “It can process 3,000 tons of snow per hour and it can project the snow to distances between 75 and 150 feet. The truck continued on page 76

The Oshkosh H series blower is compact and mobile and has over-theroad speeds of 30 mi. per hour and all wheel steer.

also features all-wheel steering, which gives the flexibility of front wheel steer, or coordinated front and rear wheel steering, giving the truck a turning radius of 48-feet. The system also allows for crab steering, meaning both the front and rear wheels point in the same direction. To top it all off the operator can opt to use rear wheel steering using the joystick inside the cab.” One of the strongest features of this blower is the Scania DC 13 12.7-liter diesel engine, which requires no regeneration, therefore no DPF filter. All of which means the truck does not have to be stopped to be put into regeneration mode, Donahue said. CEG
