Gwinnett approves $1.6 million contract for asphalt maintenance

Gwinnett commissioners recently approved an annual contract to provide parking lot and asphalt trail maintenance and repair beginning Aug. 18. The $1,623,000 contact with Advantage Sealcoating, Inc. is the third of four possible renewal options.

This contract will be used for the repair and resurfacing of asphalt parking lots and trails, sealcoating, traffic and line stripe painting and maintenance on parking bays, handicap spaces, crosswalks and stop bars at various county facilities.

The county’s market analysis indicated this pricing is comparable with current market conditions. The contract is funded 89% by the 2017 SPLOST program.
