Contractor updates board on crack sealing, paving options and payment methods
Summary
Clay Campbell of Campbell's Pavement Maintenance briefed the board on crack sealing work, described deeper base failures requiring full-depth repairs, and discussed a $6,800 estimate and card-payment options that would incur a 3.3% processing fee; the board will check state rules about paying via card and whether to include processing costs in invoice coding.
Clay Campbell, owner of Campbell's Pavement Maintenance, appeared before the Shamrock Lakes Town Board on Oct. 16 to review this year’s crack-sealing work, explain pavement base issues and outline payment options for the approved seal-coating estimate.
Campbell described encountering sections where the asphalt had failed to the base and recommended a full-depth repair for severe areas, specifying typical rebuild layers (approximately 4 inches of number threes, 2 inches of 53s, 4 inches of binder and 2 inches of surface) as a proper fix for base failures. He also said his business offers full maintenance — cutout repairs, sealcoating, striping and, increasingly, paving with new equipment.
The board noted that the earlier approved estimate stands at $6,800 for the seal coating. Campbell said he can accept card payments via Square but that the processor charges about 3.3%; board members raised questions about whether the state board of accounts allows invoicing to an individual or whether card-processing fees can be absorbed or added to the invoice code. The treasurer said she would check with the state board of accounts and consider moving the processing fee into an invoice code if card payments are used. The board and contractor agreed to confirm whether any invoice modifications would erase required signatures and to proceed once staff can confirm compliance with state accounting rules.
Campbell also offered references to past jobs (Eden Church and other local work) and said he is expanding into paving for larger jobs. The board thanked him and said they would follow up on payment logistics and any necessary invoice revisions.
