Board approves Crooker for paving contract after cost comparison
Summary
In a special meeting, participants reviewed four paving bids and approved awarding the paving contract to Crooker, citing lower unit material costs and an added reclaimed-material allowance; vote recorded as three ayes.
The Chair presented four paving proposals and moved to award the paving contract to Crooker, citing Crooker's lower material price per square yard and an additional reclaimed-material allowance. After brief discussion about material quality and width, the motion passed with three recorded 'aye' responses.
The Chair listed the bids and unit-price comparisons: Crooker ($527,220; noted as about $17.53 per square yard), Paving Professionals of Winterport ($472,279; about $18.85/sq yd), Allstate ($520,687.75; about $20.78/sq yd), and Hager (~$507,280; about $20.40/sq yd). The Chair said, "So based on that, I'd like to make a motion that we go with, Crook." A motion was seconded and the Chair called the vote; three 'aye' responses approved the contract award.
Staff and members discussed material composition and the use of recycled asphalt product (RAP). The Chair noted a concern "about not to make sure that, we had as little wrap as possible in with the hot tub," a remark in the transcript that appears to refer to limiting recycled material in the hot-mix paving. Staff also explained Crooker had included about an extra 5,000 square yards of reclaim to extend the paved width at edges to reduce edge failure.
The transcript does not record a formal breakdown of contract scope, start date or bonding requirements; participants said they would follow up and check references for the two new contractors outside the special meeting.
