MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, July 11, 2011 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> Page 15 of 19 <br /> <br />(9. PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN UPDATE, Continued) <br /> <br />there was a better aggregate base under the roadway, but based on the results of the soil borings for Old <br />Crystal Bay Road, it may be impossible to convince the state that the City will meet those minimum street <br />designs. Kellogg indicated he will look into it further. <br /> <br />Dennis Walsh, 1354 Rest Point Circle, stated he agrees with the City Engineer on the need for a good <br />aggregate base. An overlay and seal coat makes the road look pretty but does not fix any problems. <br />Walsh stated he would like to know from a historical perspective when bids are obtained for reclamation, <br />reconstructs, and overlays, why the City is not receiving a 10-year warranty. Walsh indicated a good <br />contractor will give a 10-year warranty on a mill and overlay project provided there is a good solid base. <br />Walsh encouraged the City Council to obtain longer warranties on road projects. <br /> <br />Kellogg indicated typically the City receives a two year warranty and that he is not aware of 10-year <br />warranties being given on municipal projects. <br /> <br />Franchot commented the 10-year warranty would likely come with a higher cost. <br /> <br />McMillan indicated she does not want to approve the CIP tonight given the uncertainty about which road <br />projects should be completed next year. McMillan asked if there are differences in the quality of <br />bituminous. <br /> <br />Kellogg indicated there are different types of bituminous available. Generally there is a low volume and a <br />high volume bituminous depending on the amount of traffic on the roadway. Kellogg stated in his view <br />his office does their due diligence in terms of ensuring that the quality of the work meets their <br />expectations. Kellogg indicated he will do some further research on the extended warranties. <br /> <br />Kellogg stated the next step would be for his office to come back to the City Council and have them <br />authorize a feasibility report for Orono Orchard Road. Kellogg stated in his opinion he does not feel there <br />is any harm or risk to the City by delaying approval of the CIP, but that by the end of the summer the City <br />should have some idea of what they would like to do in 2012. <br /> <br />Printup asked when the state aid standards can be provided. <br /> <br />Kellogg indicated he will attempt to get it to the city administrator prior to Friday. <br /> <br />Rahn asked if turn lanes are required on MSA roads. <br /> <br />Kellogg indicated that would vary depending on the roadway. <br /> <br />Rahn asked if street lights are also required. <br /> <br />Kellogg indicated street lights are required with turnarounds and intersections. <br /> <br />Franchot noted the City Engineer will provide the MSA standards and asked whether the City Engineer <br />should be looking at other options for the roadway. <br /> <br />Printup commented he would like the City Engineer to delay looking at that until the Council receives the <br />standards. <br />Item #03 - CC Agenda - 07/25/2011 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 07/11/2011 <br />[Page 15 of 19]
