Each year of project work at the Tallahassee Shop also calls for making 10,000 to 20,000 tons of gravel from several pits in the area for maintenance of various other roads throughout the northwest district of Fremont County.
CENTRAL MAINTENANCE SHOP
The seven year plan includes upgrades in Fremont County maintenance equipment. Depending on money available and prices of equipment, the plan calls for upgrade in road graders each year plus periodic upgrades of plow trucks, loaders, tractor trucks and other miscellaneous heavy equipment. In many cases, the equipment would be secured through five year lease/purchase agreements.
