(KLZA)-- Pawnee City Council member Ric Helms reported during the January 24 City Council meeting on proposed street work to be done by Pavers Inc.
The cost for the repair work will amount to nearly $108 thousand and will be paid out of the Fiscal Year 2021/22 and 2022/23 budgets.
The work will be completed in several stages, saving the City money.
There are approximately six sites that will receive patchwork on heavily traveled areas. After the patchwork is completed, then overlay work on those areas will be done in two to three years.
It was noted that laid down asphalt now costs $1300 per ton while just six years ago it was $54 per ton.
In a related item, the Council approved the expense of approximately $2,150 to purchase a concrete power screed to allow the city crew to complete some of the patchwork at a cost of approximately $110 per yard. The cost will be split between the Street, Water and Sewer budgets.
