Select board approves Nikon Coatings contract for roadway crack sealing
Summary
The select board approved a contract with Nikon Coatings for roadway crack sealing at a quoted rate of $9,500 per day, with work scheduled weather-permitting for roughly five days pending budget availability.
The select board approved a contract with Nikon Coatings to perform roadway crack sealing for Middlebury, accepting the bid at $9,500 per day and targeting an initial five-day work window subject to weather. The infrastructure presenter explained the town used a prioritized list of roads and treats crack sealing as preventive maintenance intended to extend pavement life.
Board members asked how roads were prioritized; staff said they use a gradient system that prioritizes newer roads and travel them to assess condition. The contractor cannot work in rain, so scheduling remains weather-dependent.
Motion and outcome: a motion to approve the contract with Nikon Coatings at the quoted rate was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote.
Context: two bids were cited: Nikon Coatings at $9,500 per day and Seal Coating Incorporated at $12,786. Board members noted the work is routine preventive maintenance; funding was represented as within the infrastructure budget for the season.
Next step: staff will coordinate scheduling with the contractor and return to the board with any material budget or schedule changes.
