Body
BACKGROUND: Public Works proposes to start an annual microsurfacing contract to preserve roads in good condition in order to prolong their life and delay costly major reconstruction projects. Microsurfacing is an asphalt emulsion spread on a paved surface to extend the life of the pavement.
Public Works prepared the contract specifications, advertised the project for bids, and bids were accepted and opened on August 12, 2014 with one bidder submitting. This type of work is rather specialized, with few contractors in the area.
