PUBLIC WORKS 08-14-06
The Board discussed the approval to Solicit Bids for Asphalt Shouldering in Route 438 Project No. 2002-16, Phase I. Keith Browning, Director of Public Works, proposed to split the milling/overlay/shoulder paving project into two phases: Phase I being the base course paving of shoulders; Phase 2 would include overlaying the two traveled lanes and placing a surface course of asphalt on the shoulders. Delaying Phase 2 to the spring season may allow for some stabilization of the asphalt market and hopefully reduce costs.
