Committee member moves to advance Mako Road paving project after staff pitches 1,950‑foot, 3‑inch test run
Summary
Staff recommended Mako Road as a short, low-risk first paving project (about 1,950 linear feet and a 3‑inch depth) to vet contractors; a committee member moved to direct engineers to proceed, but no vote appears in the transcript.
Staff member (S2) recommended Mako Road as the town's first paving project because it is short (about 1,950 linear feet) and relatively inexpensive. Staff said the project would use a minimum 3‑inch depth with a leveling course, serve roughly 26 registered voters and about 70 developed lots, and act as a test run to evaluate contractors before larger, higher‑traffic projects.
Staff said the attached engineering estimate includes a 15% contingency and that starting with a smaller project would reduce the risk of poor workmanship on larger, more costly jobs. The fiscal year-end target for completing listed road projects is June 30.
Committee member (S3) made a motion "that we move forward and direct our engineers" to advance the Mako Road work. The provided transcript shows the motion but does not record a second or a vote.
No contract award or procurement outcome was recorded in the provided excerpt; staff said cost estimates will be refined and bidding will follow the board's direction.
