Oakmont is just about done with its street paving for the year
Jay Quade, senior inspector for Senate Engineering, said line painting at Tenth Street and Hulton Road and curb painting along Washington Avenue are all that remains of the nearly $302,000 contract awarded to Shields Asphalt Paving.
Council Monday night approved a payment of a little more than $257,400 to the company with the rest to be approved next month should the remaining work be done.
The sub-contractor expected to do the painting is Bethel Park-based Parking Lot Paving Co.
Quade said he recently inspected the roads.
“I think they look wonderful,” He said. “I think the project turned out very well.”

Oakmont officials tapped a Valencia-based company to cover this year’s paving program.
Council unanimously voted to award a nearly $302,000 contract to Shields Asphalt Paving.
Borough manager Scot Fodi said he is familiar with the company from when he worked at Middlesex and Pine townships. Shields was the lowest of eight bidders.
“They are a competent company that can do the job,” Fodi said.
Borough officials budgeted about $350,000 for the infrastructure upgrades.
Streets to be improved include:
• Virginia Avenue from 12th Street to the cul-de-sac.
• Woodland Avenue from the paving seam east of Wade Lane to the cul-de-sac.
• Fairways Drive from Oak Street to Pinehurst Lane.
