Boscawen Select Board approves up to $115,000 sole‑source chip‑sealing contract for Corn Hill Road
Summary
The Select Board approved a sole‑source purchase from All States Materials Group for a rubber‑modified chip seal on Corn Hill Road, authorizing up to $115,000 and citing longer expected life (8–12 years) compared with conventional asphalt.
Public Works Director Conner Bailey asked the Select Board on June 10 to approve a sole‑source contract with All States Materials Group to provide a newer chip‑sealing mix for Corn Hill Road. Bailey said the product mixes asphalt with rubber and is marketed to extend pavement life; the vendor estimated 8–12 years versus 5–8 years for traditional asphalt.
Selectwoman Lorrie Carey moved to approve the sole source in an amount up to $115,000; Selectman Joshua Crawford seconded the motion and it passed with all in favor. Planning staff noted the Technical Review Committee would need to review whether impact fees could apply to the purchase if heavy use increases on that road.
The board’s approval allows the town to pursue the vendor and move forward with local procurement and scheduling. No additional financing motion was made at the meeting.
