City considers lower-cost street-patching material; $30,000 paving bid noted
Summary
Public Works reported removal of diseased fir trees, evaluation of a new street-patching material that could save about $1,500 per pallet versus EZ Street, a received asphalting bid of approximately $30,000, and plans to use the City of Morton's roller.
Mayor Randall Sasser reported on multiple public-works items, saying two diseased fir trees in front of city hall were removed and taken to the treatment plant to be incinerated. He said staff evaluated a new street-patching material in Morton and expects it to be more cost-effective than EZ Street, potentially saving about $1,500 per pallet; the city has also received an asphalting bid of approximately $30,000.
Sasser said the city discussed an interlocal arrangement to use the City of Morton’s street roller for projects, completed measurements for striping of about four miles when weather permits, and noted pump issues at the park and planned installation of two gates to limit motor-vehicle access after dusk. He also referenced the use of "Bug on a Rope" at the lift station to address maintenance needs.
