County approves $159,171 sole-source purchase for asphalt conditioning
Summary
Lancaster County approved a $159,171 sole-source purchase to apply GSB treatment intended to extend pavement life; county staff said such treatments are cheaper than grinding 2–3 inches of surface and noted a reduction in past asphalt-maintenance spending from roughly $8 million to about $3 million annually.
Lancaster County commissioners approved a sole-source purchase order for asphalt conditioning work totaling $159,171 at their April 28 meeting.
Lancaster County Engineer Pam Dingman described the purchase as a treatment to extend the life of pavement surfaces rather than removing the top 2–3 inches and replacing the asphalt, saying such treatments are less expensive than full replacement. She told the board that over prior budget years the county’s asphalt-maintenance spending declined from about $8 million annually to approximately $3 million.
A motion to approve the recommendation was moved, seconded and carried by the commissioners present. County staff said the treatment is part of road-maintenance efforts to preserve pavement life and maximize limited budget resources.
