Council approves $183,419 contract for 2026 pavement preservation work
Summary
Council awarded Asphalt Paving Systems a contract for pavement preservation services not to exceed $183,418.96, a preventive maintenance method described by staff as 40–60% less costly than milling and resurfacing.
The council authorized a contract with Asphalt Paving Systems for 2026 pavement preservation services for an amount not to exceed $183,418.96, citing the municipality's objective to extend pavement life cost-effectively. Staff explained pavement preservation covers crack sealing, pothole repairs and application of a polymer-modified emulsion surface that cures darker and increases skid resistance.
A councilmember asked how the treatment will look in the field and whether it is the 'wavy black lines' approach; staff replied that the contractor will seal cracks, fill potholes and apply an emulsion, noting that preservation is typically used 6–10 years after initial construction or resurfacing and is substantially cheaper than mill-and-resurface options. The resolution uses a New Jersey state contract (17-GNSV2-00181) to procure the work.
