Trustees discuss road repairs and equipment needs; quote of $13,500 for patching cited
Summary
Trustees discussed resurfacing and patch work around town, vendor quotes for asphalt repair, equipment purchases and possible use of leftover funds for roads.
Trustees discussed recent vendor quotes and equipment planning for road repairs. Staff presented a quote from American Asphalt for approximately 1,200 square feet of work and an estimate of $13,500 to soft-cut and remove failing pavement, install road base as needed, compact and place 3-inch hot mix.
One trustee said the town should proceed with the worst sections first and then evaluate remaining funds for other road needs. "Like, option that we contract with American Asphalt for their current estimate of the thirteenth that month. It says, quote, 13,500. And that's to soft cut and remove install road base as needed, roll for compaction, and 3 inch type hot mix," a trustee read aloud during discussion.
Trustees also connected equipment purchases and maintenance: board members discussed a recently ordered tractor (reported as ordered after the last meeting and expected for delivery in the coming weeks), the possibility of using a new finish mower to replace other equipment if a flail or finished mill is obtained, and returning any budget savings to road repairs.
Staff noted that if current projects stay on budget, there may be approximately $5,000 available to put toward additional road or asphalt work. Trustees also reviewed which individual sections of town had been inspected by the asphalt contractor and agreed to prioritize the most severe pavement failures.
No formal contract award for the American Asphalt quote was recorded in the provided transcript excerpt; discussion centered on vendor pricing, sequencing of repairs and equipment planning.
