Dan Hudson, City Engineer
| am, Mr. Mayor. Dan Hudson, City Engineer. So this is the pavement preservation program crack sealing.
We put out a bid this year; we received two bids. The low bidder is Seal Coating Inc., Braintree, Mass. With
this contract we will be crack sealing approximately 34 miles of road or 175 streets. This program preserves
roads that are in fairly good condition that may have some cracking, so it seals those cracks and keep the
water out and keeps them from falling into a more costly repair category.

ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
Alright, Mr. Hudson?
Mr. Hudson
Thank you, so this is a sidewalk bid we put out, we received one bid from RWC Enterprises a local company.
This is to reconstruct 900 feet of sidewalk on the east side of East Hollis Street, between CVS and Harbor
Avenue. It’s concrete sidewalk and it is in disrepair and missing some curbing, doesn’t comply with ADA
requirements. So this is work that we intend to do with the sidewalk and it abuts a paving project, which is
going to happen this year. So when we are done, we will have at least this portion of the sidewalk complete
and the road repaved.
