� R�,GLlLAR MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, JUNE 15, 1978 Page 68 <br /> . „ <br /> Dick Benson, City Administrato�, presented a ADVERTISE FOR BIDS <br /> memo from John Gerhardson, Public Works Sealcoat Aggregate <br /> Coordinator, dated June 5, 1978, which states : <br /> This year the street departlnent is planning to <br /> sealcoat area "C" which includes Stubbs Bay <br /> Road, Watertown Road, west of Stubbs Bay Road, <br /> Orchard Park Road, Turnham Road, Chippewa Lane, <br /> West Lake Street, Tori'ka Avenue and Crestview <br /> Avenue. <br /> Prior to 1978, the City of Orono has used the <br /> FA-2 aggregate for sealing because it does an <br /> adequate job for residential streets. In <br /> 1974, the City had the opportunity to use Class <br /> A trap rock aggregate sealcoating. The results <br /> were very satisfactory and are still there to see. <br /> Area "C" of the master sealcoating plan has <br /> mostly open country roads and i feel the Class <br /> A trap rock aggregate would be most applicable. <br /> Therefore, I have attached a specification for <br /> Class A aggregate and recommend advertisinq for <br /> and receiving bids for Class A trap rock. <br /> Council Meeting - June 15, 1978 <br /> Mayor Van Nest moved, Pesek seconded, to approve <br /> �peci.f�cations and- Documen�s foz Furnishing Seal- <br /> Coat Aggregate and authorize advertising for <br /> sealed bids to be opened l4onday, July lp, �978 <br /> at 10: 00 A. M. Motion, Ayes (4) - Nays (0) . <br /> Dick IIenson, City Adriinistrator, presented a STREET DEPARTMENT <br /> memo from John Gerhardson� Public Works PURCHA�E - Paver <br /> Coordinator, dated June 8, 1978, which statesi <br /> For the calendar year 1978, the Public Works <br /> Street Department budget funds for equipment <br /> purchases. It has been determined that at <br /> this time that some of those funds be used to <br /> purchase a tail-gate paver. <br /> In the past, we have made repairs to streets by <br /> placing overlay bituminous mats with the road <br /> grader, although this is still a good and <br /> adequate method, it does make it difficult to <br /> maintain the proper grade level to the street <br /> and, therefore, eventually creates an uneven <br /> grade and does create drainage problems eventually. <br /> With the tail-gate paver, the bad spot in the street <br /> can be cut out and the paver can be set to the <br /> . proper level. <br /> (Gontinued) <br />
