They did a sewer repair near my house, a truck rolled in with Henrico stickers hauling a paver thing. Could have been a henrico-only road contractor who just bought the stickers but it looked like county vehicles.

The county does own several pieces of road paving equipment, you can seem them sometimes coming out of our going into the DPW facility off of Woodman. They'll also use their backhoes, front loaders, and other heavy equipment to clear the roads after a snowstorm. When they installed the new sewer system in Lakeside though, they contracted that out and the company that did it did not have any Henrico stickers on their vehicles, and the paving equipment was different than what I've seen the county use. The contractor did, however, manage to pave over each of the manhole covers, which the county had to come out and fix with their trucks...
