County awards $21,930 seal‑coat and restriping contract; staff flagged drainage repair needs
Summary
Commissioners approved a $21,930 contract for slurry coat and restriping of county parking lots, while Public Works recommended spot repairs and installing a French drain near the sally port to avoid recurring failures.
The board approved a bid from Stake River Striping & Asphalt to perform a slurry coat and restriping of the county complex parking lots for $21,930. Public Works and building‑maintenance staff discussed options for addressing localized “alligatoring” and poor drainage in the entryway; Road & Bridge recommended mastic/crack-seal repairs and suggested installing a French drain near the sally port to prevent premature failure.
Commissioners emphasized sequencing—repair and drainage work should precede final slurry and striping—and directed staff to scope repair depth and drainage fixes before contracting any additional paving. “If we don't do some kind of drain before we do any kind of repairs, we're a couple years and it's gonna come back,” a Road & Bridge representative warned. The motion to approve the slurry/striping contract passed by roll call.
Staff will prepare a purchase order and return with design and cost options for the recommended drainage/french‑drain solution prior to major paving work.
