Committee approves sending Route 2 overweight-permit agreement to full council
Summary
City staff asked the committee to send a standard overweight-permit agreement with Maine DOT for Route 2 paving to full council for approval so the city manager can execute necessary site-mobilization permits; the committee moved the item to full council.
Jefferson Davis, the city engineer, told the infrastructure committee that the city seeks committee approval to forward a standard agreement with the Maine Department of Transportation to full council so the city manager may execute an overweight permit related to Route 2 paving.
The permit would allow the contractor selected by DOT to mobilize heavy equipment for pavement work from the Alden Road intersection toward the Hermantown line — equipment that typically exceeds statutory weight limits for DOT projects. Davis said the contract the city manager usually signs governs contractor mobilization and ensures statutory weight limits are addressed.
A committee member moved to authorize forwarding the agreement to full council and the motion was seconded; the committee agreed and the item will appear before full council at the next meeting.
