Pre-RFPEquipmentDetected Jun 8, 2026

The board reviewed how to dispose of highway department trucks that are slated for scrapping and learned about submitting them to auction. They directed Highway Superintendent Paul Stephens to obtain specifications and arrange for pictures to be taken so the vehicles can be submitted, and noted a designated contact must be available to show the trucks during the auction and approve the final result. While the discussion is about selling surplus equipment rather than buying, it reveals that Birdsall is cycling out older trucks, which may create needs for replacement vehicles or related equipment.Vendors of municipal trucks and auction services can track this as an indicator of fleet renewal and offer options for replacement units, lease programs, or additional remarketing support as the town progresses through its fleet updates.

Council Member Dave Mawn obtained information on how to submit the trucks to auction; disposal step suggests upcoming or recent fleet replacement activity.
