City Council meeting of January 7, 2002 Page 8 DUSTLOCK PILOT PROGRAM (DUST CONTROL SPECIALTIESI At its October 5, 2001 meeting, the Council discussed the use of dustlock as a liquid application on selected gravel roads in the City. Public Works Director Chris Petree prepared a gravel road survey that was reviewed by Council for discussion and comment. The cost to apply dustlock was $16,839.24 in 2001, with a total estimated cost savings on these roads of $3,000 to $3,500. Although a majority of the returned surveys indicated a support of the use of dustlock, Council raised a number of questions regarding cost savings, potholes, curvature in the roads, and soft spots. Council directed staff to discuss these issues with Dust Control Specialties, vendor for the dustlock product, and report back to Council on its issues of concern. Wade Scott and Brian Hmilton from Dust Control Specialties were present at the meeting to discuss with Council those issues of concern. They proposed an additional cost savings in 2002, if Council desires to use the product again. Dust Control Specialties estimated the cost for the same roads in 2002 at an amount of $13,817, a cost savings of over $3,000 from 2001. Granger made motion, Petryk seconded, to accept proposal from Dust Control Specialties to apply dustlock to Inwood Avenue, Ingersoll Avenue, 175'" Street, and 132d Street, at a cost of $13,817.
