Liquid Bituminous Asphalt purchased for County road projects

At the Commissioners’ May 6 public hearing, they approved a $300,190 purchase order for approximately 102,000 gallons of Liquid Bituminous Asphalt (HFMS-2P, HFMS-2P dilute). 

The approval came after the Mesa County Road and Bridge supervisor gave a detailed briefing about the purchase order and how the department will utilize the material. 

Road and Bridge will use the Liquid Bituminous Asphalt on chip seal projects, a cost-effective surface treatment that can add around seven years of life to a road.
