POLICY: To establish a policy for city maintained roads within Houston County municipalities with a population of less than 5,000.
DIRT ROAD PAVING
Houston County will pay 50% and the municipality shall pay 50% of total cost (labor plus equipment and materials) of dirt road paving. This is after a written request is received from the municipality and approved by the Houston County Commission. An exception to this would be if the dirt road paving project is placed on the new Houston County Paving List. *In this case, Houston County Commission will pay for all cost of construction.
RESURFACING
On resurfacing of a city maintained road, Houston County will pay 50% of asphalt cost and will supply inspection of the project at no cost if approved by Houston County Commission. *Resurfacing a parking lot or paving a new parking lot all materials shall be paid by the City with the exception of dirt.
REPAIRS
Traffic signs, driveway pipes, pot hole repairs, dirt hauled (maximum of six loads in a week), emergency and normal repairs as determined by the County Engineer may be requested in writing to the County Engineer and approved by him. The municipality will pay for all materials with the exception of dirt. *Utility repairs shall be repaired by the Utility with the exception of dirt.
PROJECTS
Projects for which materials will cost $2,000 or less will be completed after written request is made and approved by the County Engineer. A copy of the request will be furnished to the Commission in the monthly report given to the Commission by the County Engineer.
This policy replaces the original policy for road work in municipalities.
*Amended to include (with the exception of dirt) August 26, 1996.
