<br />CASE # 4 <br /> <br />DECLARE PEA ROCK EXCESS INVENTORY <br />By: Grant Riemer PW Street Supervisor <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />In past years pea rock was the used during our street improvement projects as a seal coat <br />material. Starting with the 2008 season we changed our specification to require crushed granite <br />on our seal coat projects; because of its durability and improved adhesion properties. We <br />currently have about 300-400 yards of excess pea rock at the PW facility. The space it occupies <br />currently could be put to better use storing our granite chip pile. One thought is to offer it to <br />residents for pick up, similar to our program for excess wood chips. It would have some limited <br />value for homeowners for use in small muddy spots in driveways or perhaps as a landscaping <br />material. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends that the Committee recommend announcing in the Ramsey Resident the <br />availability of pea rock for pick up at the PW facility for Ramsey residents <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend publication of article in Ramsey Resident <br /> <br />Reviewed By: <br />Director of Public W orks/Principal City Engineer <br />City Engineer <br />Public Works Street Supervisor <br /> <br />PW: 08/19/09 <br />
