Title
Public Works Street Division Pothole Patcher - Purchase
History
The 2012 Fiscal Year Budget has a Board approved line item for the purchase of a spray-in pothole patcher for the Public Works Department Street Division.
This year, the Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS) has a contract (#40217153) with Duraco, Inc. of Pearl, Mississippi, for a new DuraPatcher Model 125DJT trailer mounted asphalt patching machine at a base cost of $47,563. The base cost includes operator training and the truck mounted coal chute modification kit which allows our tow vehicle to dump the stone into the hopper on the trailer. This patching machine also includes an option for an arrow board mounted at the factory at a cost of $931 and a spare air filter for the blower at a cost of $47. The total state bid contract price of the DuraPatcher including options is $48,541 delivered.
This unit can be used year around at a temperature as low as zero degrees. The resulting patch is considered permanent unlike the current method using cold patch material. The Street Division has performed considerable research and had this unit demonstrated on Village streets. Through the course of the winter season, the DuraPatcher has proven to be the most effective method of pothole management.
On April 16, 2012, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
