As I write this post McClure Engineering has been hired as project manager as the 2013 roads project. You may recall last year we handled the job in-house without a project manager. We saved a heck of a lot of money by doing so but now there are problem areas we will have to have Rabine remediate referencing their warranty.
We are fortunate to have a maintenance manager with extensive knowledge of road work as well as a couple guys on the commission who also have solid road experience. We will be utilizing a lot of Jeff's (maintenance supervisor) knowledge going forward identifying the areas we will handle during our 2013 project as well as identifying areas Rabine needs to address before this year's bid requests are mailed.
Jeff will be sitting down with the commission as well as McClure to address these points with Rabine, who has done quality work for us in the past and wants to correct possibly deficiencies.
As I have indicated before, our roads project will be much later this year so we can address shoulder drainage before laying new surfaces. I'll keep you up on the process as it moves along.
