A contract for the 2021 Crack Sealing and Seal Coating Program in the City of Howell has been awarded.
The Howell City Council approved awarding the contract for the preventative maintenance work on city streets at a recent virtual meeting. The contract was awarded to the low bidder, Wolverine Sealcoating of Jackson, for a unit price of $1.10 per pound and in an amount not-to-exceed current budget amounts.
The City is required to operate a Pavement Asset Management Plan as part of Act 51 funding. The City currently rates roads using a PASER method and inputs that data into a program. The system uses a rating scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent, to help determine the proper treatment of maintenance for prolonging the life of the road. That data is then sent to SEMCOG and the State of Michigan for review and approval.
