PEACE/THOMAS
Motion to authorize, up to the cost of the $20,000, the Director of Public Works, Larry Bonin, to proceed with the emergency repairs to the Town Garage roof.
E.1 Roadway resurfacing.
First Selectman Michael Pace turned the floor over to Director of Public Works, Larry Bonin.
Mr. Bonin noted that there were certain roads that have been repaved using the new chip-seal method and asked the owner of the company hired for the repaving, Mr. Matt Neal, to discuss the process.
...
Mr. Bonin and he had discussed the possibility of using color and when they used color on the Old Post Road they found the colored stone did not last as well as the black.
On Schoolhouse Road a different stone was used and was not of the best quality.
They are looking for another quarry for stone.
His company has a guarantee for all of the work and there is a new chip-seal product that sets faster.
First Selectman Michael Pace noted that one of the benefits of the chip-seal process is a reduction in speed.
Mr. Larry Bonin noted that most of the dust was from people speeding over the newly laid chip-seal.
...
Mr. Bonin stated that the approximate cost of $375,000 for repaving is not in the current budget, the road is not in bad enough disrepair to warrant repaving and the chip-seal lasts longer than asphalt and would not need resurfacing for several years.
