St. Charles City Council Approves $1.2 Million Contract Renewals for Annual Road Repairs
Even though delays have prevented completion of the 2012 crack seal and asphalt overlay program, the city council voted to renew those contracts for 2013.
The St. Charles City Council voted Tuesday night to renew contracts for the 2013 asphalt overlay and crack seal programs.
A city memo noted the 2012 asphalt overlay program was 73 percent complete as of March 25 and the 2012 crack seal program was at 74 percent complete and that both projects were on hold due to weather conditions.
The memo noted the city was satisfied with the companies' production rates and quality of work and that renewing the contracts would allow for repairs to continue without further interruption.
