RE: 2014 Final Road Program
Attached you will find a copy of the 2014 roadway candidates chosen utilizing the road management
program.
The total cost for this program will be $2,490,106.43 or say $2.5M. There are 12 streets on this list
with various parameters set for each street as well as various techniques used within selected
parameters. The last item on the road spread sheet will be used for Selective Mill and Overlay of
various short sections in the range of 300 linear feet to address adverse affects from winter conditions.
This is a process we have used in the past which has worked extremely well and has delayed the need
for other construction techniques.
We all know how valuable this road management program is maintaining the Town's infrastructure and
I would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance in moving this program
forward.
