Amos Espinoza of A&J Excavation has agreed in principle to leave a front end loader with us at the Property Manager’s House this winter.This equipment will be available for hire by both the property owners and by HLPOA as needed, and Kris Perreault will act as operator. When working for the Property Owners, both the equipment and labor come through A&J who will bill the Property Owner. Prices will be set by the vendor, but A&J has consistently been one of the low bidders for work in HL.
Mr. Espinoza cannot guarantee the equipment to be on site at all times
- if in the eventuality he has emergency snow work in Guadalapita, he may need to take the loader for a bit. However, declaration of an emergency normally takes place in the afternoon after a snow so that the emergency response authorities can gauge the possibility of melt-off, and a measured response. This would leave us the morning and noon period for our own needs. Additionally, Mr. Espinoza may have a job that requires the front loader for a few days, which might require a bit of planning ahead by a Property Owner in need of service.
While there won’t be 100% coverage, Hidden Lake Operations regards this as an additional tool and risk-reducer, and we are very pleased at Mr. Espinoza’s ability to provide this opportunity.
