~~r ~~ <br />ity of ~~ <br />lk <br />River T~: <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />MEMORANDUM <br />Mayor & City Council <br />ITEM 7.4_ <br />Phil E. Hals, Street/Park Supt. <br />July 31,1995 <br />SUBJECT: Contract Paving of Hiking Trails in Heritage <br />Landing, Country Crossings, Meadowvale <br />Hieights and School View. <br />I received three quotes for the above-mentioned project: <br />Blacktop Service $39.00/ton or $19,695.00 <br />H & M Asphalt $36.49/ton or $18,427.00 <br />Elk River Bituminous $28.95/ton or $14,620.00 <br />The City's purchase price for the material alone would be $9,595.00. The cost to haul, <br />lay and compact the bituminous is $5,050.00. <br />• To do this project with city equipment would require three full days with an eight <br />member paving crew. This puts all other projects on hold, including paint striping, <br />mowing and playground improvements. <br />I would prefer to hire a contractor to do the paving and keep my staff busy on other <br />projects. I feel the Elk River Bituminous quote is a fair price and would recommend that <br />the Council approve it. <br />s:\council\bit <br />r~ <br />13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
