Municipal Pothole Repair Program
KM International's (KMI) latest publication serves as a guide to identify the pros and cons of performing pothole repairs internally as well as contracting them out.
Most municipal organizations are at a crossroads when it comes to repairing potholes and other asphalt related defects. Traditionally services such as paving, crack filling, line striping, etc., are put out to bid and awarded to local contractors specializing in those fields.
However, many municipal organizations have kept pothole patching as something performed internally by their public works personnel. But with the rising cost of labor, equipment, and material, municipals have begun to re-evaluate their pothole repair program and assess outside options to determine if it makes financial sense to contract out their pothole patching program. Because no two municipal organizations are the same, each municipality has to consider various factors to determine what solution will fit them.
KMI's guide on "Municipal Pothole Repair Programs" includes both a template for those wanting to subcontract out their services as well as a free patching guide for those who'd rather continue to perform repairs in-house.
