HAZLETON Some Hazleton City Authority officials are questioning why Mayor Jeff Cusat backed out of a proposal to have city streets department workers restore streets in Hazleton that were disturbed by distribution system upgrades.

The project, which has been discussed since last February, wouldve given the authority the ability to contract with the city and have its streets department crews make nearly $100,000 worth of street repairs, authority officials said Thursday.

HCA Deputy Director Richard Ammon, who has been in talks with Director of Public Works Frank Vito about paving upgrades, said he was in a state of disbelief after learning that Cusat turned down the authoritys offer to contract with the city for street repairs.

The arrangement would ensure work is available for city streets workers who faced the threat of layoffs earlier in the year, Ammon said.

This started in February, board member John Nilles said. Now, were at the end of July and were being told, Sorry, we dont want to take your money and do it.

Ammon and board member Robert Stefanovich said the timing puts the authority in a bind because it will have to scramble to develop bids for repairing a number of streets in Hazleton and surrounding communities.

Authority board member Dave Sosar,who also serves on council, said the authority is not to blame for the paving arrangement failing to materialize and publicly called on the mayor to present his decision in writing

I dont want someone pointing fingers at this body, Sosar said.

Board Chairman Phil Andras, however, said the authority cannot compel the mayor to present any decision in writing and said that the authority has no choice but to solicit bids.

We tried to help the city, Andras said. Customers are out there hitting (potholes). I dont think they say, This is an authority hole or This is a city hole. Dick is telling us the city is not interested. Lets go out and get a bid.

Cusat said later Thursday that his decision boils down to limited manpower and a fairness issue to taxpayers.

The amount of work they want us to do is substantial, Cusat said. Its more than we can handle.

If the city workforce was tied up on authority paving projects, it would have no time to complete work that city taxpayers have paid for, the mayor said.

If we had more manpower and more equipment, then it would be something that may benefit both parties, Cusat said. ... it would be unfair to the taxpayers not to get our streets repaired while patching holes and road cuts for the authority.

Cusat said hes not about to give the authority any written notice of his decision and said city crews were willing to pave HCAs driveway last year had the authority not backed out of that project.

Streets crews can devote a few days this year to pave the driveway leading to HCAs office and filtration plant, but Cusat said it simply lacks the manpower and equipment for addressing road cuts.

It would bring in a significant amount of money, but it comes at a cost to the taxpayers who deserve to have their streets paved as soon as possible, Cusat said.

Why did the mayor back out of HCA paving deal? - Standard Speaker

ILION Plans to pave John Street in the village of Ilion were put on hold Wednesday due to the upcoming property demolitions that are scheduled.

Department of Public Works Superintendent Jack Sterling told the village board John Street was on the list of streets to be paved this summer using Consolidated Highway Improvement Program funds, but he questioned whether the work should move ahead given three of the houses scheduled for demolition under the Federal Emergency Management Agency buyout program are on that street.

"Theyll have track hoes and trucks in there," said Sterling, adding if the village paves the street this month, as planned, the street would likely be torn up during the demolition work and the street would have to be repaved. He said he had asked if those houses could be demolished first to allow the paving work to be done this season, but he was given no guarantee this could happen.

Trustee Kalman Socolof noted if there are asbestos problems involved, the work could be delayed.

Mayor Terry Leonard said he had asked Jessica Breiten, of the Herkimer-Oneida Counties Comprehensive Planning Program, about demolishing these properties first.

"There was no guarantee theyd be at the top of the list," he said.

If the paving is delayed too long, it wont be done this season, said Sterling.

The board directed him to patch John Street and select another street to pave using the CHIPs funds. John Street will be on the list for next year.

Breitens recommendation to shorten the streets where demolition of houses is to take place was also discussed. Sterling and Village Administrator James Kramas argued against the move. Shortening the streets would complicate snow removal, they said, and they noted the amount of money the village receives in CHIPs funds is based on the miles of streets. The board agreed.

A smoke test conducted as part of the inflow and infiltration study on the village sanitary sewer system showed some issues on Morgan Street and Columbia Parkway, according to Sterling. Engineers from Barton & Loguidice told him they were optimistic about the villages chances to receive funding for a sanitary sewer project. They plan to bring data to the board at a future date.

Sterling also reported the sidewalk program the village is offering is going well and the Benedict Avenue project was nearly complete.

He said there seems to be a lot of interest in the sidewalk replacement program in all areas of the village. The plan called for sidewalks to be replaced on and near the streets to be repaved under the CHIPs program. The sidewalk program is for residents who request it and are willing to pay for the work. DPW is also keeping a list of residents outside the designated CHIPs area in case the department can get to them, according to Sterling.

The village board voted at an earlier meeting to replace the water and sewer mains on Benedict Avenue on an emergency basis. Repairs to water and sewer pipes had been made numerous times and a recent water main break damaged the street. The board voted to take out a bond anticipation note to pay for the project after receiving a quote of $273,000 from CNY Construction. Because it was handled as an emergency, the village did not have to go through the usual steps for the project, according to village officials.

Breiten, along with Mark Carabetta, senior project manager, and engineer James Murac, both of Milone & MacBroom, met with the board prior to the start of the regular meeting to discuss plans to improve drainage in the Columbia Parkway area.

Marina

Harbor Master Don Sterling reported the marina would be offering a veterans discount if requested. Trustee Bridget McKinley asked that he post signs to let visitors know the discount is available.

The board voted to approve a negative declaration for the Consolidated Funding Application for a capital project at the marina. The village board is seeking funds for a project that would include paving the driveway and parking area in a way that would prevent runoff from flowing into the canal and river. The village also hopes to deal with underground fuel storage tanks.

Quality Contractors - Driveway Construction, Driveway Paving

Paving

Paving is part of our everyday lives and no matter where we go it is all around us. Paving creates surfaces for us to walk on, drive on, and sometimes to show the way. It is used in parking areas at airports, take away restaurants, drive through, sidewalks and even at certain traffic junctions.

Brick paving is mostly referred to as a type of paving that reminds us of building bricks. In most cases the brick pavers would be red (or a shade of red) and is very similar to the look of bricks used for buildings.

Flag paving or flagstone paving is a type of paver that has a square or rectangular shape and laid down in different variants using the same pavers. They are larger in size than normal pavers or interlocking pavers and are mainly used to accentuate a feature like a pool or garden.

Driveway paving also sometimes known as curb appeal is the part of our homes we pave where cars would make use of it. There are many different ways for using driveway pavers and the most obvious is the pathway leading up to the garage or parking areas.

Patio paving can be done in almost any way imaginable. Our patios are inside or outside areas where we will either have recreational activities or the back yard. Covering these areas with paving adds beauty to the home but also ensures that the dust and mud that would have been there without the paving is eliminated keeping our homes cleaner.

What would a pool be without nice looking paving? Pool paving like many other types of paving enhances the look and appeal of the area and of course keeps a lot of dirt from ending up in the pool. Municipal pools all have proper paving and the home owner can increase the value of their property by simply adding creative ideas to the swimming pool area.

Walkway paving also referrers to pavements in and around city and neighborhoods. It is done to add easy access and walking surfaces to areas where people might walk. It is also ideal for cycling surfaces and almost all inner city walking areas are completely paved. This allows for easy cleaning and maintenance and adds to the beautification of areas.

The effect of entrance paving is possibly best experienced with the entrances to building like hotels and other prominent areas. By paving the entrance to your home you can create a look and design that suits the style of your home. Over the years this appeal that the entrance creates adds panache to the building.

Commercial paving includes paving of all public areas that includes semi-public areas such as complexes, holiday resorts, inner city, neighborhoods and any area which supports a bigger than normal amount of traffic and people. Paving these areas assists greatly in the upkeep and maintenance of public areas and due to the nature of paving lasts for a very long time.

Industrial paving is used in areas where the traffic volume is very high and also has to be able to handle the weight of large trucks and goods. The type of paving mainly used is interlocking pavers as their design allows for weight and volume without breaking apart. You would see industrial paving in areas like loading docks, intersections and large parking areas.

Driveway Paving; Step 1, Step 2

For this part of the driveway paving a base layer will be applied by workers from Driveway Paving Guys; this will be at least two inches thick. Two inches is necessary to make sure that your driveway can support the weight of your car.

After the base layer is done the final step in paving a driveway is the top layer and is half a inches thick. The crucial thing here is to make sure that the proper asphalt mix is used. Driveway Paving Guys agrees that broadly speaking two classes of asphalt that can be used when laying a driveway paving, class one is applied for the base while class two is applied for the top. There are a lot of various mixtures within the two classes and the right one will hinge mainly on where you live. For this you are largely going to have to trust our contractor to know as we rely on our experience and qualified skill to use the proper asphalt. We only employ qualified and experienced staffs that have completed all required training to for us to be successful in all projects that we choose to undertake.

Last thing for a Driveway Paving

The last thing that Driveway Paving Guys will make sure is included in the bid that you receive is the slope of the driveway to allow for drainage. You don't desire water pooling in the centre of your driveway paving that we installed here. So the slope will run down from the centre towards the sides. Generally a slope of a quarter inch for each foot of distance is ideal. Our contractor will know the proper slope but if you want to make sure that this is included in the bid please call us on 888-487-8118.

Everybody always wants to know what does it cost to pave my driveway or what does it cost to pave my parking lot?

So if you are looking to get a ball park estimate on how much it will cost to pave your driveway or parking we can can help give you good idea here.

1st of all please note that asphalt paving is substantially cheaper than concrete. Asphalt paving is close to 1/3 of the cost of concrete.

1 Rip Out The Old Driveway or Grass Smooth Surface

We would install 6 inches of stone 2 inches of binder, which is a binder course and and 1 1/2 inch of the smooth stuff which is called ID2 top. This ranges about $3.50 a square foot for everything.

2 Ripping out old driveway and Hauling Away

Installing a stone base the 3 inches of ID2 top. This ranges around $2.50 a square foot

3 Resurfacing Existing

Basically we would cut out in front of your garage. Then add 2 inches on top of your entire driveway. Then as we meet your garage we would use the cut out to bring it level with your garage. This costs about $1.50 per square foot.

If there are a lot of cracks or it is rutted out or there are dips in the driveway, that means the base is bad. We will then need to rip it out and install a new stone base to give a solid starting point.

We understand most people want the lowest cost or to at least have confidence you ate getting good value for the money your spending.

Of course each job has its own set of variables that influence the price. Give us a call or use our contact form and we will be happy to get your a quote tailored to your exact needs. Thanks WIllie
