ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Clemons
| would like to know what the purpose of this is.
Mayor Donchess
The purpose is to try to ensure that the quality of the asphalt that is being laid down meets the specifications.
If it doesn’t then the road deteriorates more quickly.
Alderman Clemons
The asphalt from who?
Mayor Donchess
From Continental Paving who has been awarded the paving bid.
Alderman Clemons
We are paying for the testing?
Mayor Donchess
Yes, if this contract is approved.
