The Engineer suggested that unless it is something that we can't live with this year, he would rather wait until spring to fix this bump to see if there is some settlement before we make the developer go in and repair it. What happened here was there was a storm sewer crossing across Jane Road North as part of the Neudahl improvements. When the subcontractor repaired the blacktop, he overfilled it and now there is a bump. If' this is a problem, the excess blacktop could be shaved off.

The equipment that was used last, year worked well enough to serve the purpose. The reason for the wing was it could be done a little faster. It is not a necessary item, it is something that he would like to have on the truck, and if he cannot get it this year, he would like to get it next, year.
