BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: August 20, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: John Hofstad
SUBJECT: Information Item - W. Plympton Road Paving
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: District 1 - Harris
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Public Works personnel are nearing completion of the paving of W.
Plympton Road. As has been discussed previously with the Board, the project has been delayed
due to weather and materials problems. Along with the final half mile of paving for the project,
staff has determined the need to add additional asphalt (in the form of an overlay) to
approximately the first mile of roadway to improve the structure of the road itself. We anticipate
the cost of the additional asphalt overlay to be approximately $55,000.
BACKGROUND: The Public Works Road Division initially contemplated and budgeted this
project as a cold mix stabilized roadway. As cold mix prices climbed from $35 per ton to over
$100 per ton, hot mix asphalt ($69/ton) became a more cost effective choice for the roadway.
The project budget was not adjusted for the increase in materials costs, nor the need to purchase
and then modify base material for the roadway. This status update is being provided to the
Board to highlight the challenges with this project and the need for additional resources beyond
the projected budget of $200,000. Staff estimates the additional materials to complete this
project will cost approximately $38,000.
OPTIONS: Informational Item regarding the status and increased expenditures for the project.
RECOMMENDATIONS: This item is being presented to the Board for informational purposes
and no action is required.
