In Mid-March, state department of transportation executives from across the country took a “let’s keep things the way they are” tact when they testified before the House of Representatives Highways and Transit Subcommittee hearing on Capitol Hill. Collectively, DOT officials lobbied that the current mix of formula funding and grants should be retained by Congress as legislators begin tackling surface transportation reauthorization efforts. Speaking for DOT officials across the United States, Roger Millar, secretary of the Washington State Department of Transportation and member of the board of directors of the American Association of State Highways and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), in his opening remarks said, “For over 100 years, we as a nation have enjoyed the fruits of the federal government’s highly successful partnership with state DOTs to build and maintain our surface transportation system. Beginning with the Federal-aid Road Act of 1916 establishing the foundation of a federally-funded, state-administered highway program that has been well-suited to a growing and geographically diverse nation like ours, federal investment in all modes of transportation have allowed states and their local partners to fund a wide range of projects that serve the interest of the nation as a whole.” He added that the federal surface transportation program’s inherent flexibility defers project selection and investment decision-making to state and local governments. “And these important decisions are based on extensive public input from local communities and businesses to address their unique needs and ensure goods get access to a larger market than ever before,” he said. Unsurprisingly, Millar also urged Congress to enact a permanent revenue solution for the Highway Trust Fund. Millar said, “the American Society of Civil Engineers, upon whose board of direction I sit, has identified a $1.1 trillion funding gap for surface transportation between 2016 and 2025.” He urged Congress to consider looking at the flat, per-gallon motor fuel taxes that have not been adjusted since 1993, which has lost, he said, over half of its value in the last quarter-century. Millar cited the 2018 Global Competitiveness Report rankings from the World Economic Forum on infrastructure quality that has the United States listed in ninth place overall. Millar pretty much echoed what we all know in the industry and likely what the House Highways and Transit Subcommittee also knows well, which was why Millar and his DOT colleagues most likely hoped that somehow his testimony would make the national media news cycle. Of course, it didn’t. It’s not easy to cut into the incessant political coverage these days. But we need to keep trying to inform the public about infrastructure. Change will occur through them. When the public understands that infrastructure is among the nation’s highest national security concerns, Congress will have to take this seriously. P

Mike Kastler

Highway Superintendent

and the Town of Sandy Creek By Mary Yamin-Garone PROFILE CORRESPONDENT

Mike Kastler is a man on the move. Whether struggling to keep the town’s budget in the black, providing the best services for the residents or camping in his spare time, Mike is always doing something. And for the past 12 years, that something has been serving as the highway superintendent of the town of Sandy Creek. “I’ve lived here my whole life,” he said. “I graduated with a high school diploma in 1984 then did two years of welding at vocational school. After that, I dabbled in construction for several years. Eventually, I ended up at International Wire. I worked there for 20 years before I got the superintendent’s job in 2007. My predecessor had just announced that he was going to retire. Nobody in the barn wanted the job, so I threw

my hat in the ring. I’ve always been active in the community. I’ve been in the fire department for over 30 years — past chief, present chief. I was involved in Little League, VFW… so everybody knew me. “Before the elections, though, he decided to run for another term, so I had to run against him. We agreed we would only run under the Republican party. Whoever won the primary would be declared the winner. I beat him in the primary.” Winning the election was bittersweet. “He had a hobby of flying ultralight planes,” Mike said of his predecessor. “Unfortunately, he died in one in October of 2007. The board contacted me and asked if I could start before January 1st. I started after the general election in November. It started as a two-year term. Now it’s four. I’m up for reelection in 2022. continued on page 12

The town of Sandy Creek highway department works on a culvert replacement project.

“We were good friends. Being the fire chief, I worked closely with him over the years. There was never any animosity between us. When he was going to retire, he told me I’d be a good fit for the job. He supported me right up until he looked at his retirement and saw he needed a few more years to pad his pension. “I don’t know if they ever determined the cause [of the crash]. He was the only one in the plane. It was one of those single-seater ultralight planes with like a weed wacker motor on it. All the highway guys went with my fire department. We had to search the woods for the plane because nobody knew where it went down.” So, what was the real story behind wanting to become highway superintendent? “I’d been in the fire department for a long time,” Mike said. “I was sick and tired of having to chase after accidents because the roads weren’t being plowed well enough or often enough. We were getting called out in the middle of the night every time a tree fell because the 12

highway superintendent wouldn’t bring his guys in to clear the roads. I felt as a volunteer fireman having to go to accidents and trees blocking the roadways, there needed to be a better relationship with the highway superintendent and the two fire departments that serve the town. I met with the departments and told them I wanted to make the roads safer. and assist during wind storms with cleanup and not rely on volunteers to do the highway department’s job. “These guys are volunteers. They don’t draw a paycheck. There’s no reason why they should be out all hours of the night cutting a tree when the highway department can show up with a loader, push it off the road and clean it up the next day. I want to make things safer for the community and the volunteers. On the selfish side, I was working nights at the factory and driving back and forth. I wanted to be closer to home, so I could spend time with my kids.” Mike has two daughters. Cassandra, 32, is married to James Bremm, continued on page 14

who is a seasonal worker for the department and she works for a payroll company. They have three children: Wyatt, 9; Elliott, 6; and Charlotte, 1. Mike’s daughter Melissa, 29, works for a trucking company as an office executive. Mike is past president of the Oswego County Association of Town Highway Superintendents, the Town Highway Superintendents Association, the State Highway Superintendents Association and a member of the NYS Rural Water Association. In his “free” time, Mike loves spending his summers in his camper. “I’m a seasonal camper, so I park it in a campground here in town. I live out of it from April to November. I also enjoy hunting and fishing. I don’t travel at this juncture in my life. That’s my retirement plan. I’ll go anywhere. I haven’t been too far from home. I’ve only visited four states in my life. I have a lot of ground to cover. My plan is to go in my camper. Maybe if I find a place where I want to settle down for the winter, I’ll do that and come back to New York for the summers where my grandchildren are.” How much longer would Mike like to stay on the job? “As long as I’m healthy, I’ll stay here until I’m in my 60s.” continued on page 18 Another recent culvert replacement in the town of Sandy Creek. 14

Seen here is the channel from Lake Ontario to North Sandy Pond.

All in a Day’s Work When it comes to facilities, Mike has one main highway barn that was built in the 1950s. “It’s small, about 150 x 40 and there are six truck bays. I have one large cold storage barn that also was built in the 1950s. My office is in the break room because there never was a separate office built in the facility back then. It was the only room that wasn’t used for storage. It has a folding table for a break table. My desk for the office. “Our salt shed is a little newer than the barn. It was built in the early 1990s. It holds about 200 tons of salt and 200 tons of mixed material. We still run a salt and sand mixture. I put up about 600 loads of sand — or 1,200 tons — every winter. I use anywhere between 700 to 1,000 tons of salt to mix with it. “We’re starting to put some money in a building reserve. There’s some talk about The channel from Lake Ontario to North Sandy Pond was plugged with ice, which caused flooding continued on page 22 in the town in 2016. 18

expansion or possibly new construction. It’s a five-year goal. We started putting money in the reserve several years ago. You must be creative. I’ve been doing budgets for a long time with the fire department. I learned years ago that when budget season comes, you go in and ask for 30 percent to 40 percent more and they give you 20 percent. You walk out with a smile on your face because you got 20 percent more than you needed.” Contrary to most other highway departments, Mike’s board is “good about getting me what I need. I just have to prove that I have a plan for how to pay for it. As long as I submit that plan and it won’t raise taxes, they’re usually 100 percent behind me.” Mike also works well with the neighboring towns. “Over the last five years, we bought a drivable broom with four other townships. We each put in $10,000. An inter-municipal agreement was drawn up that we’re the only ones that can use it and we share it. We did the same thing with a roller. It doesn’t make sense for me to buy a $30,000 broom that I’m only going to put $100 a year into it. That’s how we’re doing it up here to save money. We’re sharing more equipment purchases that we all can use. During the summer, when we’re all doing our road work, we work together anyway. It’s [equipment] always on the job site, whether it’s in Sandy Creek, Red Field or Orwell. The highway calls it the circus because come June, when we start doing the road work, there’s five townships that work together until everyone’s town is done.

The town of Sandy Creek’s highway department facility is small — about 150 x 40 and there are six truck bays.

As superintendent, it’s Mike’s job to maintain the town’s 46.5 square lane miles of road; two miles of which are gravel and the rest are paved, mix paved of CHIP sealed. All of that translates into four plowing routes that take about four hours to complete. “We also have 20 miles we contract for the winter for the county for snow removal,” he said. Mike depends on his crew of six full-time employees to serve the town’s 3,817 residents. His staff includes deputy superintendent Michael Haverlock, Tim Crast, Edward Rotach, Mike Boland, Wade Brown and MP Haverlock, all of whom are machine equipment operators/mechanics. The department also employs water operator Eric Pappa and four part-time workers for the winter season. “I’d like to see my guys get some recognition. I’m the highway superintendent, but they’re the guys with the boots to the ground. They do a fantastic job. We work well as a team. If not for that comradery, we wouldn’t get nearly as many projects done in the short window we have. We have six months of winter.” Under Mike’s watchful eye, the town of Sandy Creek’s highway department functions on a total operating budget of $613,000 that includes salaries and benefits for employees and an annual CHIPS allocation of $130,000. The town also receives $20,000 to $25,000 from PAVE-NY and between $12,000 to $14,000 in Winter Recovery. To help get the job done, the department uses a modest fleet of equipment that includes: • 2018 Volvo 6x4 with plows and dump • 2018 Mack 6x2 with plows and dump • 2012 Mack 6x4 with plows and dump 26

• 2010 Mack 6x4 with plows and Munibody • 2008 International 6x2 sander and plow truck • 2005 International 6x2 plows and dump • 1991 International 6x2 dump • 2014 John Deere loader • 2001 Komatsu grader • 2001 Daewoo wheeled excavator • 2016 New Holland tractor with flail and arm mowers • 2012 New Holland tractor with sickle mower • 2000 Ingersoll Rand dirt rider • Bandit chipper • 8-ton equipment trailer The town purchased a double-drum roller and Broce broom with four neighboring towns to help save money. It also is getting ready to order a new plow/dump truck for the 2019 winter. Mike is proud to say, “We own all our equipment and currently have a debt of $40,000 owed on the 2018 Mack. Our future needs include replacing our wheeled excavator. It’s one of the biggest and most expensive pieces of equipment. Price is near $250,000. My dream would be to buy a paver. I would purchase that with my four neighboring townships. We’d buy a used one that would be between $150,000 and $160,000. “All our paving is contracted out. The county highway works with us, but we have to pay them or we put it out to a private contractor. If we bought a paver, we’d save money by putting down more blacktop. We wouldn’t be paying for a paver to be dropped here and not bringing in a five-man crew to run it. We’d probably buy one that someone’s leased continued on page 30

When it comes to facilities, Mike has one main highway barn that was built in the 1950s.

for a few years.” Now, 12 years into the job, what has disappointed Mike the most? “When I took over, the town board was starting to do equipment replacement. It was in the infant stage. We had one 2008 truck that was new when I took over. Everything else was getting antiquated — two 1995s that were frontline trucks at the time. We got on an aggressive equipment replacement program. One of my goals was to keep the equipment in good shape. I told the board that we needed to put more money in the equipment reserve. I’ve been putting $60,000 in my equipment reserve for the last 10 or 11 years. Essentially, every three years we almost have enough money there to think about replacing a truck. I try not to run the trucks more than 10 years. We try and do a 10-year replacement on the mainline equipment. Right now, one truck has a $40,000 payment that will be made in September. Then, I’ll have zero debt in my barn. And we just ordered a new truck that will be delivered in November. I had to prove to my board that … they were trying to keep stuff for 15 years. I had to prove to them that at 15 years you’re lucky to

get 30 cents on the dollar for the equipment when you sold it. At 10 years, you could get 60 or 70 cents on the dollar.” Mike admitted, however, he isn’t averse to purchasing a used piece of equipment. “You have to be careful. It’s like buying a car someone leased for two years. If they took good care of it, you get a good buy. If they didn’t take care of it, you didn’t do so well.” Looking to the future, Mike sees a new salt shed and highway garage. “If we expand on the barn, I’ll have to use the salt shed for two more truck bays and build a new shed. It’s the lesser of the two evils. It’s cheaper than building a new barn. My big goal is to see a new highway facility before I retire. We have enough space where we are. We have a fairly large area. I could put the salt shed not far from where it is now and then turn the existing salt shed into two truck bays so I have more room. My barn is so tight that we have to open and close overhead doors to get from one end to the other when the plows are on the truck. continued on page 34

The department bought a 24 ft. by 24 ft. garage and refurbished it. The building now functions as a water service facility where residents can purchase water.

“The odds of that coming to fruition are good. I’ve put a plan together where we can do it over time so there wouldn’t be a big increase on the residents’ taxes. My goal would be to start with a large pole barn. Something where we could help do the site work and offset the cost with the highway employees doing a lot of the work. Once the building is up, my guys could do the insulating and some of the interior stuff. We wouldn’t need to have contractors doing all the work. If it took us five or six years to complete the building, it’s better than borrowing $1.5 million on a 30-year bond. It’s feasible. They’re starting to put additional money in our building reserve every year so we’re getting up around $100,000. That will probably get eaten up with engineering costs. Hoping down the road some grants will come along that we qualify for 34

that would help.” What has pleased him the most about the job? “Having the satisfaction that you’re serving your community, going out there every day and trying to provide the best services you can for the tax dollars the residents pay. I remind my guys all the time that the taxpayers pay our wages. We owe it to the taxpayers to spend it in the best way possible and provide the best services we can for the community.” When it’s time to hang up his hat, how would Mike like to be remembered? “I’d like the community to recognize that things were a little better than when I started. Whether that be next year or 20 or 25 years. My goal is to leave the town a little bit than I found it.” continued on page 38

The town of Sandy Creek’s water tower.

About the Town of Sandy Creek The first settlers came to what is today the town of Sandy Creek in 1803. By March 1825, the town was incorporated and from that time on interested people began to document and save records of its history. After a series of devastating fires, the Lacona and Sandy Creek village fire departments were formed. The town’s first historian was Nanette Hamer who was appointed in the 1920s, probably before 1925 since that was the first documented artifact listed in the history collection. About 1927, the original copy of the 1845 census was found in a home and from that the names were taken and put into the newspaper asking for information on those families. The series was called “Sketches.” Much of the genealogy the town has today began with this Sketches newspaper article. Each historian since has put their efforts toward a different area of historic preservation. In 1835, Colonel Thomas Meacham (1795-1847), on his farm on this site, created a 1,400-lb., 11-ft.-round cheese as a gift to President Andrew Jackson. An immense cheese-hoop and press were constructed and the milk from 150 cows was turned into curd. For five successive days, it 38

was piled into the great hoop. It was then conveyed by boat via Oswego, Syracuse, Erie Canal, Albany, New York City and reached Washington in time for George Washington’s birthday, February 22, 1836, when all the people of Washington were invited to “eat cheese.” The Lacona Depot was the hub of village activity for more than a century. The Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg (RWO) Rail line was completed through East Sandy Creek (Lacona) in the spring of 1851. The depot opened in November 1872. In 1891, the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad purchased the RWO and replaced the original depot. One of the factors that materially contributed to the prosperity of the town was the entrance of the RWO Rail line through Lacona Village. With better facilities in transportation, new enterprises were encouraged and industries were introduced. The area’s two largest industries, Blount Lumber Company and Corse Press, utilized the train station for their products as did local farmers and both post offices. Salisbury House served as a temporary home for many of the towns’ continued on page 46

early settlers and the first town meetings were held there in 1825. This temperance house was the outgrowth of the inn “part frame, part log” kept by James Hinman as early as 1812, when there were only two or three frame houses in what is now Sandy Creek Village. By 1820, it is known that Nathan Salisbury had already established his inn on this site. It burned in 1884. A tannery was one of the oldest industrial sites in the village (1826) and later became the site of the Sandy Creek Wood Manufacturing Company. The precursor to today’s paper plates were made there and furnished employment to a large number of men. It was located behind the Salisbury House. In 2003, the town held a yearlong celebration to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the first settlers coming to what is today the town of Sandy Creek — every month, the town had a different event or speaker. On May 31, 2008, the town remembered and dedicated the burial place of two Revolutionary Soldiers, Stephen Lindsey and Jonathan Thrasher at Pioneer/Goodenough District Cemetery on Henderson Road.

The Continental Arms Collectors Association’s Revolutionary War Interpretive Unit, headed by George Clark, reflects a company from the 1st NY Regiment, Continental Army circa 1782. They use 1779 Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States and they offer a firsthand glimpse of the nation's colorful military history. The Continental Arms Collectors Association Inc. was founded in 1982 as a Not-for-Profit educational organization. Their mission: “to enhance public knowledge on the significance of firearms in American History.” The Revolutionary War Interpretive Unit was introduced in 1992 to further educate the public about daily life in the Continental Army. Extensive research culminated in the selection of accurate reproduction weapons, accoutrements, equipment, headgear, footwear, and clothing in use by the unit. The high standard for the group’s accurate performance of military drills and ceremonies, in use by the Continental Army during the latter part of the War of Independence, is a result of the intense training the unit is committed to.

The L-Series introduces many new features, including bucket shake, fully programmable electro-hydraulic (EH) joystick controls, a redesigned boom for more visibility and a redesigned cab and seat to provide comfort and ease of operation. “Having all of the controls right in front of you is a nice change rather than twisting for controls behind you.

Updated Deere 944K Hybrid Wheel Loader Boasts Final Tier IV Engine

Equipped with a 536-hp, Final Tier IV John Deere PSS 13.5-liter engine, the 944K boasts nine to 14 percent lower fuel consumption compared to its IT4 predecessor.

John Deere added Final Tier IV engine technology to the 944K hybrid wheel loader, providing customers an increase in fuel economy from the Interim Tier IV model. Other machine updates include improving operator comfort and increasing uptime, while lowering daily operating costs. “Customers deserve a dependable wheel loader that actively works to minimize downtime and cut down on fuel consumption,” said John Chesterman, product marketing manager, production class four-wheel drive loaders, John Deere Construction & Forestry. “New and exciting features on the 944K provide operators with a comprehensive loader solution that increases productivity, while efficiently managing costs. But we also maintained popular features like standard traction control that automatically limits torque to any wheel when slippage occurs, essentially eliminating runaway tire spin and tire slicing.” Equipped with a 536-hp, Final Tier IV John Deere PSS 13.5-liter engine, the 944K boasts nine to 14 percent lower fuel consumption compared to its IT4 predecessor. The updated engine delivers impressive torque and responsiveness to help maintain good boom and bucket speed in and out of the pile for heaped loads, according to the manufacturer. Along with the engine update, operators also will enjoy an increase in coast control performance. This standard feature gives the operator the capability to adjust the aggressiveness of the machine during deceleration with three different settings. The higher the setting, the more electric braking will occur during application. When all three lights are on, the loader will deliver a 33 percent increase in deceleration performance and an overall extension of service brake life. Other machine modifications include the addition of a heated and 54

ventilated cab seat to provide maximum comfort to the operator. With improved Final Tier IV technology, operator and bystander noise levels also were lowered. Outside the cab, remote jump-start terminals were added to all 944K FT4 machines in a closed and locked engine compartment. These allow for faster and easier jump-starting, can be used with a trickle charger in cold weather and are color-coded/insulated to help prevent improper connections and accidental contact with battery terminals. Other updates include a bolted shut engine fan door that reduces the possibility of it accidently opening during operation; the consolidation of the engine stop switch and 24-volt electrical disconnect switches on the right side of the machine to provide easier access; and the relocation of the engine block heater plug-in for easier access in colder climates. Warranty coverage on the 944K wheel loader includes a 96-month (eight-year) or 20,000-hour (whichever comes first) nonprorated assurance on wheel motors, generators, power inverters and brake retarders. This offer was extended to July 31, 2019 (from Oct. 31, 2018) to existing machines in the field and on new 944K loaders. Fleet managers looking to get the most out of their 944K wheel loader can rely on their John Deere dealers to provide Ultimate Uptime, featuring John Deere WorkSight. With Ultimate Uptime, owners receive predelivery and follow-up inspections that include five years of JDLink telematics, machine health prognostics, remote diagnostics, programming capabilities and the ability to add dealer-provided uptime solutions to a customized package.

Bacteria — the Solution to Salt Damage on Concrete Roads?

By Jennifer McKevitt

During a recent polar vortex event so extreme that train tracks were set alight to avoid transit slowdowns in Chicago, few people were likely concerned about the effects of salt on concrete roads. Luckily, however, Yaghoob Farnam of Drexel University in Philadelphia remained on the job. Farnam is an assistant professor of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering and is co-author of a study on the neutralizing effects of bacteria-treated concrete. Bacteria, he believes, may be the antidote to salt damage. “There were studies in geotechnical engineering and concrete materials that showed S. pasteurii can withstand a high PH environment [like the condition in concrete] and can produce CaCO3 [calcium carbonate] to bind soil particles in geotechnical or self-heal cracks in concrete,” Farnam told Construction Equipment Guide. The studies to which he refers likely began as early as 1683, when Robert Boyle, a British chemist, noted that brine did not freeze. Later research discovered that salt water does, in fact, freeze, but the temperatures at which freezing commences is higher than that of unsalted water. The damaging effect of treating concrete roads with calcium chloride salt is caused by one of its byproducts: calcium oxychloride, which expands inside concrete surfaces and causes cracking. Once a crack

occurs, water in the form of melted ice seeps in and expands, causing buckling and more. However, when S. pasteurii is added to the concrete mix, harmful calcium chloride metamorphizes into calcium carbonate, or limestone, which not only does no harm, but also seals existing cracks. Another potential treatment for preserving concrete that comes courtesy of Drexel involves applying a waxy paraffin treatment to concrete. According to laboratory studies, the paraffin causes ice and snow to dissolve faster. Unfortunately, however, neither the paraffin treatment nor the S. pasteurii-treated concrete are yet available here in the United States. A company called Green Basilisk (info@basiliskconcrete.com) in the Netherlands is currently the only known vendor of “self-healing” concrete. Their version was deployed at the Port of Rotterdam in 2017. Other Basilisk projects include the Groninger Forum, a rebuild of the original east side of Groningen Square in the Netherlands, and a parking garage at Apeldoorn, a municipality and city in the province of Gelderland, also in the Netherlands. When asked when we may expect to see the product locally, Farnam was uncertain. “What we do [at Drexel] is mainly lab-scale proof of concept. I think some pilot-scale work is needed before putting these ideas in real practice,” he said. “We hope we get a chance to perform more research.” Summer drivers delayed by road repair projects probably hope so, too.

Bonnell Industries, a third-generation family-owned business, will be hosting its biennial Equipment Expo on June 5 and 6, 2019, at 1385 Franklin Grove Road, in its hometown of Dixon, Ill. Bonnell Industries hosts its equipment expo to introduce customers to its vendors and to display new product advancements. In addition, the customers and vendors get the opportunity to meet the employees that manufacture and install all of Bonnell’s products. The Bonnell Expo is anticipated to be bigger than ever before with more than 40 vendors showcasing equipment. New to the itinerary this year are education sessions, which include information on prewet systems, fleet tracking and municipal leasing. Since the 2017 Expo, Bonnell has added 18 full time positions and has expanded its property by 7 acres with plans of a near future expansion. This year, Bonnell will exhibit fully equipped snow and ice fighting customer trucks, industrial leaf vacuums, road drags and used equipment for sale during the two-day event. Among the display equipment are new Bonnell built trucks available for purchase at the event. As a part of Bonnell’s truck program, these trucks are ready to be upfitted with equipment most suited for the buyer. In October of 2018, Sourcewell (formerly NJPA) awarded Bonnell

Industries a contract in the snow and ice category, and all trucks displayed at the show in the Bonnell truck program, also are available for purchase under contract. Do you ever find yourself with a question at an event, but are unable to locate anyone with the necessary knowledge to answer you? At the Bonnell Equipment Expo this year, look for the employees wearing Bonnell Orange shirts. The staff are always more than happy to answer any questions that you may have whether they are technical or sales related, all available Bonnell employees are there to help. Not only is being at the Expo pleasant and educational, but there will be food, too. As always, the famous Fey’s BBQ will be there both days of the event grilling out. Each attendee will receive one free lunch ticket upon arrival. For a pre-lunch and after lunch snack, Cliff’s Donuts & More, from Ashton, Ill., will be serving coffee and donuts throughout the duration of the Expo. Joe Bonnell, president of Bonnell Industries, said, “At the Bonnell Equipment Expo, we get to enjoy a great barbecue, but most of all we look forward to the valuable bonding and fellowship with our customers and vendors.” For more information, and to register for the event, visit www.bonnell.com.

No Sell By Date Two Years Old or Twelve ... Choose the Online Auction Company That Won’t Spoil Your Return on Investment.

Auctions International is an online auction company with the technology, expertise and support staff to get your online surplus auctions noticed, bid on and sold. The company does an average of more than 3,000 online auctions a year and gets an average of 50,000 bids a month. Often dubbed a virtual equipment showroom, Auctions International’s primary focus is selling surplus municipal vehicles and heavy equipment. New auctions are posted every day and close every night. Sellers pay no fee to list their items and all bids are accepted subject to their approval. The History/The Vision Headquartered in western New York, President and Owner Russ Scherrer created the company Scherrer Auctions in the early 1990s. Scherrer and his team traveled New York State promoting the auction method to municipal agencies, often hosting live events from govern-

ment parking lots. In 2002, Auctions International Inc. was founded. By 2004, Scherrer began taking his live auction clients online. “Going online, our buying audience became the world,” said Scherrer. “That translated into more competition in the bidding process and much higher returns for our selling customers.” Today Auctions International conducts online auctions across the northeast. What started as a municipal-only service has grown into serving hundreds of agencies, districts, schools and businesses across the northeast and beyond. The company has sales staff all over the country and an experienced home office team to ensure every transaction from concept to completion is seamless.

Bidder Notification Most recently, Auctions International added a new component to its process — bidder notification. “This technology has added a whole new dimension to our operation,” said RJ Klisiewicz, operating manager. “Now, during an auction, potential buyers get online notifications when an auction is closing, if they have been outbid or an auction is awarded. This gives buyers even more opportunity to make those last minute competitive bids, which leads to even higher returns for our sellers.” For more information, call 800/536-1401 or visit www.auctionsinterntional.com.
