Lancaster County approves sole‑source asphalt conditioning order for $159,171
Summary
The Board approved a sole‑source purchase order for asphalt conditioning (GSB treatment) in the amount of $159,171, described by staff as a cost‑effective means to extend pavement life compared with full resurfacing.
Lancaster County commissioners approved a sole‑source purchase order for asphalt conditioning — described as GSB treatment — in the amount of $159,171 at the April 28 meeting.
County staff explained the treatment is intended to extend the life of asphalt surfaces and can be far less expensive than grinding and full replacement. Pam Dingman, Lancaster County Engineer, said the county's asphalt maintenance program has declined from approximately $8 million annually five years ago to roughly $3 million now, and the conditioning treatments are one tool to maintain surface life.
The board moved and seconded the sole‑source purchase order and approved it on a unanimous roll call. The vendor name was transcribed in the meeting record as "G. Ashvalt"; staff did not expand or spell the vendor name further during the discussion. The contract amount and purpose were recorded for public record.
