You’ll want to be at this year’s N.Y.S. Highway & Public Works Expo or you may miss something old. So many of you over the years have come to the N.Y.S. Highway & Public Works Expo at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse to see the latest and greatest in equipment and services; when you attend the show on October 17, you will again discover all that’s new for 2018. This year, however, we want you to see some old stuff, too. We at Superintendent’s Profile are excited to announce a new (well, old) feature at the 2018 installment of the Expo: The Inaugural Antique Equipment Drive-In. Many of you have a vintage, antique piece of equipment that you’ve either restored for display and showcase it during special events or you’ve rehabilitated a seasoned piece of equipment and you actually still use it. Well, we think the Expo will be the perfect setting to show off and share with your peers a piece of equipment you’ve restored. At this year’s Expo, Superintendent’s Profile will provide an area where you will be able to display your antique equipment side-by-side with other equipment your colleagues have brought in to showcase. What equipment can you bring to the Expo? Well, virtually anything that could or ever was used in a highway department or the town. For example, if you have a restored Walter Truck hanging around, we’d like to see it; or maybe it’s an old Oshkosh truck or an antique tractor loader backhoe; it can even be restored town or village vehicles like a vintage fire truck or police cruiser and more. What’s more, if you bring your vintage equipment to the Expo, not only will you impress your peers, but Superintendent’s Profile will also make donation to a charity of your choice to show our appreciation for helping make the Inaugural Antique Equipment Drive-In a success. For more details, please see page 12 of this issue. And if you’re interested in participating, please call our Expo Show Manager Bob Buckley at 518/863-4100 or e-mail him at bbuckley@cegltd.com. Hope to see you and your antique equipment on October 17. P

Highway Superintendent H

Dave Gunner

and the Town of Aurora

By Mary Yamin-Garone PROFILE CORRESPONDENT

For Dave Gunner, it doesn’t get any better than this. He loves his family. He loves the town where he has spent the past 45 years. He loves getting up every morning and doing his job as the highway superintendent for the town of Aurora and he loves his rescue dog, Hannah. Born and bred in Holland, N.Y., Dave attended Holland Central School. Following graduation, he enrolled in Erie Community College, where he studied accounting. “During college, I took a job with a local building supplies company, Reboy Supply, that delivered stone and building materials,” Dave said. “I fell in love with that industry and ended up going into construction.

After that, I went to work for UPS. I left there after 9 and-a-half-years to go back to the construction industry. I worked as a general manager for two dump truck companies, LCA Development and Pariso Trucking. In 2004, I founded my own dump truck company, Gunner Construction. I grew it to a fleet of seven trucks. It was heavy highway dump trucking. We hauled blacktop, stone and basic building materials.” So, how did he end up at the highway department? “In 2008, the Great Recession wiped out the construction industry,” he said. “The former highway superintendent retired, so there was a vacancy. I thought running for the position would be a good move, so I threw my hat in the ring. I knocked on every door in town. I sold myself to the people and they must have liked me. I ran against a sitting councontinued on page 14

In May 2015, Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz (second from L) presented the Aurora highway department with a Certificate of Accomplishment for earning the Erie County Management Council’s Environmental Excellence Award for its work on the Reading Road ditch reconfiguration. (L-R): Don Owens, planning board chairman; Mark Poloncarz; Jim Bach, town supervisor; and David Gunner, Aurora highway superintendent.

cilman and ended up barely winning. It was 51 percent to 49 percent. In our town, it was separated by 232 votes out of 8,000. They declared a recount because it was within the margin.” Dave credits Gunner Construction for the smooth transition from business owner to highway superintendent. “My dump truck business was involved in some of the biggest heavy highway projects in the Buffalo area. We did a lot of work for the NYS Thruway. I was able to bring my business and accounting background to the job. That helped with the financial aspect of being a super. Then there was my actual field knowledge, such as road construction, which was another good fit. “As you can tell, I love what I do. It’s a dream job. The town treats me well. I have a great relationship with my town board. We work well together. When you become more efficient and you start improving the infrastructure, the board sees that. I always try to have measurable results. I’m a time study and efficiency person. I think that’s why I’ve been successful with the board and my budget.” Family is an important part of Dave’s life. 14

“My wife, Laura and I were high school sweethearts. She works for Catholic Charities’ WIC program, making sure young babies get the necessary nutrition. My son, Steven, 25, is a free spirit. My daughter, Sydney, is 13. I’m proud of her so I’m going to do a shout out. She scored #1 on the high school entrance exam and was awarded a full fouryear scholarship to Mount Mercy Academy, which is an all-girl college prep school.” A former hunter and fisherman, Dave has a new-found love. “My wife and I fell in love with cruising. She formed her own cruise business, so we could sell ourselves cheap cruises. We went to the Mediterranean for Easter. From Barcelona, we sailed to the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa and spent a day in Morocco visiting a mosque. Our daughter went with us. It was a cultural experience for her. “Hawaii was my favorite. We went there last year for our 25th anniversary. I surprised my wife and had a priest meet us at the port. We renewed our vows on the beach. It was a happy day. I could walk on water for about six months before the dishes started flying again.” continued on page 18

Dave is a member of the Erie County Highway Association and the New York State Superintendent of Highways Association. About the Job The town of Aurora’s highway department is housed in a recently remodeled facility. Originally built in 1951, this state-of-the art building includes 10 bays. “We also have a 2004 highway facility across from it, which houses our parks and water departments and dog control. It has four bays and my main office. We have 10 acres, so there’s plenty of room to store stone, sand and materials. We also have a 1,500-ton salt shed and two large cold storage buildings.” According to Dave, Aurora is an unusual town. “We’re more a department of public works. I’m in charge of highways, parks, building, water and dog control. Out of those titles, the only one I’m elected to is highway superintendent. I get stipends for the others. I like it because I have more manpower and flexibility continued on page 22

between departments.” As highway superintendent, Dave is responsible for maintaining the town’s 62 paved lane miles of road and another 70 for Erie County. That translates into four plowing routes that take about three hours to complete. At the time of this interview, the town was in the middle of a snowstorm. “It’s tough. I think we’re above our average snowfall of 140 inches. We’re on pace for between 180 and 200.” That’s nothing compared with the town’s December 2014 storm that dumped 7.5 feet. “That was the ultimate test,” Dave recalled. “It didn’t fall in one night. It was 2 ft. the first day, 1 ft. the second and 4 ft. on the last day. We plowed around the clock. My biggest problem was trying to get fuel. We ran out of our tanks three times. “We started with a road that’s 22-feet wide that slowly shrank to about 8 feet. When it was all said and done, we were down to one lane but we kept every road open. I’m proud of that. Those trucks never shut off. We 22

still could get an ambulance or fire truck to anywhere in town. It was a nine-day event. During that time, I clocked 178 hours. It was a helluva challenge. What’s cool is after we’ve been through that, when we get a big snowstorm like 18 inches, you just kinda’ laugh.” Speaking of snow … “On my third day, I watched my employees plow so hard with two-man plows trying to plow 24 hours with one shift. They were exhausted. I went to our union and convinced them that it would be better for everyone if we went to one-man plows and ran shifts. Then people could rest properly. In the beginning, I ran into a lot of resistance but now this is my 10th year and everyone here thanks me. Their quality of life is better. Financially, we were able to cut $100,000 out of overtime because of that, which allowed me to shift that money to my road materials budget. Now, we spend about 20 percent of the overtime and have 50 percent more materials money. I’m proud of that, too, because we’re working hard to improve our infrastructure without raising taxes. It was a win-win. The workers are happy. The taxpayers continued on page 26

are happy and our roads are improving.” Dave is quick to admit that paving is his favorite part of the job. “I love road construction. I love paving the roads, making them smooth. That’s my happiest time of the year. We’re done with our paving projects and just driving over the roads. Last year, we did four miles, which was a lot. I’d like to do at least two a year, which puts us on a 15-year rotation like with our equipment. “ Together, Dave and his crew of 11 fulltime and 10 part-time employees serve the county’s 14,000 residents. His staff includes Deputy Superintendent Mike Bove and six MEOs, three truck drivers, one mechanic, one laborer, five RPTs, five seasonal workers and three dog catchers. When asked what he’d like to say to his crew, Dave’s response was a resounding, “Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for continued on page 28

buying into my crazy ideas and giving them a try. I’m proud of that. A lot of the things we did here were different from other highway departments. We consolidated all the departments and increased efficiencies. Their lives have improved because they know what they’re doing every day, instead of being on call. I’m a small part of this highway department. The work force is the big part. “And let’s not forget Hannah the Highway Dog. Hannah is a four-year-old Pug rescue from the town’s dog control team. She belonged to an elderly gentleman who suffered from dementia. It got to where he couldn’t take care of her anymore. I was up for the chance to have her. She’s been with me since last May. She comes to work with me and keeps me company when I check the roads. She’s the highway department’s unofficial deputy. The residents love it when they see her in the truck with me. “ Under Dave’s watchful eye, the Aurora highway department runs on a total operating budget of $1.6 The Aurora highway department’s patch crew at work.

million that includes salaries and benefits for employees and an annual CHIPS allocation of $100,000. To perform its duties, the town uses a modest fleet of equipment that includes: • 1996 Gradall • 2009 International plow trucks (3) • 2013 Kenworth plow truck • 2017 Kenworth plow truck • 2017 Kenworth dump truck • 2018 Kenworth grapple truck • 2017 Ford F-550 dump truck • 1992 Ford F-700 basket truck • 2017 Cat tractor backhoe • 2016 Cat 3.5-ton roller • 2008 Case hilift • 2002 Johnson sweeper • 2008 John Deere tractor road side mower

• 2011 Kubota tractor • Ford pickups 2009 and newer (7) • Jacobson lawn mower model HR311 The high cost of today’s equipment is prohibitive for many highway departments. Dave found that out first-hand. “When I started, we had a $1.1 million budget. We also were $1.1 million in debt. Now, it’s up to $1.6 million and $400,000 left in debt. We’re slowly trying to wean ourselves from buying equipment with payments and pay more with cash. As additional revenue comes in with more sales tax and houses being built, we’re increasing our equipment budget. This year it’s up to $135,000. “We only buy new. My theory is if we take care of our equipment and keep it for a good amount of years, we’ll get a better recoup on it. We’ve come a long way with our debt situation, which makes our highway budget stronger. It’s all about holding the cost and increasing the revenue — just like being in business. We’ve also done a good job of updating continued on page 38

our plows. We’re trying to get into a 15-year rotation. All my plow trucks are 2009 or newer. Now I’m trying to get enough money to buy a new one. Trouble is it’s difficult to come up with the money.” For Dave, the most important part of his job is doing the little things, like ditching, mowing and tree work. “You can pave all you want but if you’re not curing those issues, you’re wasting your money. They’re the unsung things you do that are probably more important than paving and plowing. People don’t realize that.” With an eye on the future, when it’s time to hang up his superintendent’s hat, Dave wants “to leave the town in a better place than when I started. That’s my goal. We had a highway superintendent that was here for about 20 years. When I went around knockcontinued on page 42

ing on doors everyone would mention him and what a great guy he was. He’s long since passed. I hope when I’m long gone, people will say, ‘I remember that superintendent Dave Gunner. He did a great job.’”

As highway superintendent, Dave is responsible for maintaining the town’s 62 paved lane miles of road and another 70 for Erie County.

About the Town of Aurora The town of Aurora as a government was founded in 1818, 14 years after the first settler Jabez Warren obtained a contract from the Holland Land Company for 1,443 acres and made it his family’s home in 1804. Previously, Native Americans lived in the area. The town is 36 square miles with a current population of approximately 14,000, which includes the village of East Aurora, the hamlets of Jewettville, Griffins Mills, West Falls and a portion of South Wales. One of the town’s earliest and most promicontinued on page 46 The town of Aurora highway department’s mobile grappler truck.

nent settlers was a young Millard Fillmore, who came to Aurora in the early 1820s to open the first law practice in town and build a home for his future wife Abigail. Twenty-seven years later, Millard Fillmore became president of the United States. The president’s home was moved twice: from its original location on Main Street to Millard Fillmore Place, and then in 1930 to its current location on Shearer Avenue. Irving Price, who was one of the founders of international toy company FisherPrice, purchased the home of Millard and Abigail Fillmore. Margaret Evans Price, a well-known artist, used the home as her art studio. Today, it is a National Historic Landmark. Due to its proximity to Canada, before the Civil War the town of Aurora, especially the hamlet of Griffins Mills, played a major role in the Abolitionist Movement and on the Underground Railroad. With the Hamlin and Jewett Farms, the latter of which included the world's only mile-long indoor racetrack off Grover Road, Aurora became known as the horse-racing capital of the world in the late 1800s. Aurora is also well-known for its contribution to the turn-of-the-cen-

tury Arts & Crafts movement, led by Elbert Hubbard, who founded the Roycroft Community at the corners of Main and South Grove Streets. The Roycroft artisans are still recognized today for their hand-crafted works and the 14-building campus is a National Historic Landmark that attracts people from around the world. The town of Aurora is governed by a town board that consists of the town supervisor and four town council members. The town supervisor is elected every two years, and town council members are elected every four years. The appointed town planning board and zoning board of appeals consider and make decisions regarding development and zoning in the town. There also are various other advisory boards and committees. The village of East Aurora, incorporated in 1874, is a separate government entity within the town of Aurora. Residents of the village also are residents of the town.

T

he 7th Annual Equipment Show sponsored by the Columbia County Association of Town Superintendents of Highways was held at the Town of Ghent Highway Department garage in Ghent, N.Y., on May 2. More than 25 exhibits featured trucks, heavy equipment, snow plows, construction and paving companies and many suppliers to the industry. Ben Perry, the highway superintendent from Town of Ghent, was the show organizer and said that more than 250 attendees were expected to attend the day. The weatherman was cooperating by supplying a bright sunny day with temps expected to reach 80. In addition to the visiting displays, attendees were able to drive equipment in the yard behind the building and watch a paving demonstration and were provide lunch. continued on page 56

Exeter Highway Department Purchases New Western Star The town of Exeter purchased this Western Star 4900SF truck, outfitted by Henderson Products, through Tracey Road Equipment.

Paul McClean has been the highway superintendent of the town of Exeter, N.Y., since 1999. Exeter is located at the southern tip of Canadarago Lake in Otsego County, N.Y. Although it is not situated in the traditional lake effect areas of New York, the area still sees more than its fair share of brutal winters and as a result, snow removal is a critical part of Paul’s responsibilities. After 18 years of service, the town’s truck, which was purchased from Tracey Road Equipment, was tiring out and Paul and his board decided it was time to make an update to their fleet. After much thought and research, the town of Exeter selected a new Western Star 4900SF. Paul worked closely with his Tracey Road Equipment sales representative, Travis Marshall, to assure that the Western Star was ideally equipped to meet the needs of the town. Western Star is powered by a Detroit DD13 505 hp diesel engine and has an 18-speed transmission. The truck was outfitted by Henderson Products, including the plow, wing, dump body and sander.

“We really appreciate some of the features of this truck that we have not had the opportunity to experience in the past,” Paul said. “Our truck is equipped with a paired camera system that gives us backup views as well as a camera mounted from the wing, which gives our drivers a much clearer view and is certainly a safety enhancement. The Henderson sander features a front cross conveying system, which we feel puts more of the material that we are spreading on the highway where it will do the most good. Our whole crew agrees that the Western Star truck is the most powerful vehicle in our fleet.” The truck was purchased through Tracey Road Equipment and piggybacked off the Onondaga County contract. “We were confident about the purchase largely because of the reputation of the Detroit diesel engines, along with the service that we have received in the past from Tracey Road Equipment on our previous trucks,” Paul said.

(L-R): Steve Baker, operator of the town of Exeter; Paul McClean, highway superintendent of the town of Exeter; Randy Brooker and Eli Weir, both operators of the town of Exeter; and Travis Marshall, sales representative of Tracey Road Equipment. 68

Mack Trucks Raises Productivity With New Mack Connect Tools Mack Trucks shared additional details about Mack Connect, a suite of tools designed to help customers and drivers manage productivity and profitability. Mack made the comments during the 2018 Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Ky. “Productivity translates to profitability, and our customers are always seeking the next advantage to gain an edge,” said Jonathan Randall, senior vice president of sales and marketing of Mack Trucks North America. “With Mack Connect, we’re providing the tools required for our customers, and their customers, to be successful in today’s competitive trucking industry.” Mack Connect integrates intelligent software, predictive analytics and driver assist technologies into three pillars to boost productivity: connected support, connected business and connected driving. Mack Connect comes standard on all Mack models, including Mack’s newest highway model, the Mack Anthem.

Connected Driving No aspect of productivity is more important than the driver, and Mack Connect offers several features to improve safety, efficiency and comfort. Bendix Wingman Fusion, a camera- and radar-based driver assistance solution, is available as part of Mack Connect and is standard on Mack Anthem models. Fusion provides collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning, assisting drivers in staying safe on the highway. New information and entertainment options, including Bluetooth connectivity, satellite radio and Apple Car Play integration, allow drivers to focus on the road ahead. Drivers also can download additional applications, such as navigation, to help ease the demands of the open road. Mack Predictive Cruise, an intelligent cruise control system, also is part of Mack Connect and is available on Mack mDRIVE-equipped models to help improve fuel efficiency by up to 1 percent. When cruise control is activated, Mack Predictive Cruise learns the topography of the route, storing up to 4,500 hills in its memory, along with information about engine load, weight, speed and the road gradient. The next time the driver travels the route, Mack Predictive Cruise engages the industry-leading Mack mDRIVE to employ an optimized shift strategy and choose the most fuel-efficient gear. Connected Support With unplanned downtime events estimated to cost heavy-duty trucking customers more than $2,000 per day depending on a number of factors, uptime is critical to profitability. Mack Connect includes Mack’s telematics-based solution, GuardDog Connect. Using fully integrated, factory-installed hardware, GuardDog Connect proactively monitors a truck’s performance. If the system detects an issue, Mack’s 24/7 OneCall staff at the Mack Uptime Center is automatically notified. Depending on the severity of the issue, OneCall agents will reach out to the customer’s designated contact with actionable information through Mack ASIST, an online communications and service management portal. Should service be 72

required to resolve the issue, service bay space and parts availability are confirmed at the closest dealer, all while the truck is still on the road. “Mack’s industry-leading approach to uptime is paying dividends for customers,” said David Pardue, vice president of connected vehicle and contract services, Mack Trucks. “GuardDog Connect has helped us cut diagnostic and repair times by more than 70 and 20 percent respectively.” Mack GuardDog Connect also is the key enabler of Mack Over The Air (OTA), another productivity-boosting feature of Mack Connect. Mack OTA allows remote updates for software and other parameters to take place when it’s convenient for drivers’ schedules, helping increase uptime. Connected Business Customers rely on data to help drive business decisions, and Mack Connect provides several data-driven options to improve operational efficiency. Data from Mack’s GuardDog Connect telematics platform is made available to best-in-class fleet management software providers, allowing customers to choose fleet management software that works for their business, without having to rely on third-party hardware installations. “When it comes to fleet management solutions, our approach is centered on enabling customer choice,” Pardue said. “Using our GuardDog Connect platform as the data source allows for the ultimate flexibility. And with no third-party hardware to worry about, customers can modify their fleet management services as the needs of their businesses evolve.” For more information, visit www.macktrucks.com.
