Kanarraville approves up to $20,000 for crack sealing on Highway 91
Summary
Town board approved a motion to spend up to $20,000 to seal cracks on a 0.6-mile stretch of Highway 91 after receiving an estimate from Spencer Asphalt.
The Kanarraville town board approved funding up to $20,000 to seal cracks on a 0.6-mile section of Highway 91.
Stoney, a town board member, reported Spencer Asphalt inspected the stretch and estimated 5 to 6 tons of crack sealant would be needed at roughly $2,500 per ton, putting the contractor estimate in the $15,000–$18,000 range. Stoney said the company recommended winter work because asphalt shrinks in cold weather, widening gaps and making sealing effective; the contractor also noted colder conditions help the sealant set and reduce traffic disruption.
A motion to authorize the work up to $20,000 was made and seconded. The board voted in favor; the chair called for “All in favor? Aye.”
Board members discussed deferring culvert work to next year and using an existing $20,000 allocation to cover the crack-sealing expense this budget year so culvert work can resume in spring. The contract estimate and timing reflect a contractor recommendation; the board did not specify a vendor beyond the Spencer Asphalt estimate and will proceed with procurement consistent with town purchasing policy.
The motion passed by voice vote; the board did not record a roll-call tally in the minutes provided.
