CLARKS GREEN During the Clarks Green Council meeting via Zoom May 19, councilman Dave Rinaldi said that he distributed cost estimates that the engineers made for the 2021 paving program. He said that there are two spots that need surface repair on a yearly basis, and that the main part of the project is on the block of 100 Possum Way. He said that the intersection of Armstrong Avenue and Evans Street will be alternates in the bid package.
Rinaldi pointed out the difference between the two alternates is just the square yards of pavement. He said that the estimate of Alternate 1 is 280 yards and Alternate 2 is 450 yards. Council voted to authorize engineers to do the bid package and advertise for bids.
