Board discusses street striping and asphalt repairs; special meeting set for May 21
Summary
Trustees heard bids for asphalt repair and restriping after contractors reported paint adhesion problems; APMS provided a remove-and-replace pavement bid of $8,415 with additional restriping and parking-striping estimates, and trustees scheduled further action for May 21.
The Denton Board of Trustees on May 4 discussed bids and problems related to street striping and asphalt repairs and set a special meeting for May 21 to finalize work and costs.
Maintenance staff reported that blue paint used for striping did not adhere properly and will be reapplied, and pointed out that worn existing striping likely reduced adhesion. APMS submitted a bid of $8,415 to remove and replace decayed pavement areas (milling and replacement). Additional estimates presented included $14,246 to restripe the roadway as currently configured and $1,877 to stripe parking lots at the community center and post office.
Trustees directed follow-up: the clerk was asked to consult the village’s street engineer about putting a load limit on village streets, and the board scheduled a special meeting on May 21 to continue discussion and make final determinations on contracting and costs. No final contract award for the APMS work was recorded at the May 4 meeting.
Maintenance staff also reported ongoing treatment-plant leak repairs and that Plant Nebraska will do a planting on Tuesday, May 12 at 9:30 a.m.; volunteers were invited.
Next steps are a May 21 special meeting to resolve the striping and pavement proposals and a clerk request to the street engineer about load-limit options.
