PW administrator says $5,000 estimate to fix buckled promenade slab
Summary
PW Administrator Dan Jamison told the Town Council the promenade suffered a buckled 6' by 10½" concrete slab that lifted about 6"; he said repair — pinning new concrete to the slab and adding rubber joints — should cost about $5,000.
Dan Jamison, Port Deposit’s public works and code administrator, told the Town Council the promenade has a concrete slab roughly 6 feet by 10½ inches that has buckled and is sitting about 6 inches off the ground. Jamison said the existing slab is only 2 3/4 inches thick and has plastic underneath, which he identified as a cause of the failure.
After obtaining estimates, Jamison said the town expects the repair to cost about $5,000. He said the planned fix is to pin new concrete to the existing slab and install rubber expansion joints to prevent future buckling.
Jamison described the repair as a straightforward public-works remediation rather than a larger reconstruction. The town did not record a formal vote on the repair during the work session and did not specify a contractor or timeline beyond the repair approach and estimate.
The council discussed the cost briefly during the meeting; no additional funding sources or budget amendments were proposed on the record.
