Mr. Roy Ventura
Distract Engineer. ...__.,
State Highway Department _
Billings, Montana 59L04"'_.'. Dear Roy:
In to g with Martin VanMill, I understand there`='' ill be
some mil it"'g on Federal-Aid Project No. iR-90-8 (101) 4. near
Laurel. e experimented with,, some, milling we received last,, ear
from t_ Federal-Aid Project M'6901(1) and it worked out. quiteel l .
you.maY alreadYknow approximately 75% of all the stre6.
in rel are composed of a: 30 foot cold mix center with chip
sea ng on the sides. We used .the milling we received last..ye,ak'r
to place the deteriorated.chip sealing on designated test areaA?,
Th. results were very favorable. I would.. appreciate the',A
o ortunity. t-o obtain additional milling.from 'the Federal-Aid A
P ject scheduled this year in the Laurel area..
The hauling distance for`the 'cantractor.would`be.reduced con-
sMerably if he was allowed to stockpile the'milling.material in
urel. All material.would be used on designated public streets
ly. Another consideration would be to. use. some. milling
aerial on the unimproved two block area east of:the.designated
eral-Aid Urban Project of East Maryland. As you may recall I
i tend to work out an arrangement with the county to open
u 'I?and improve that area with a gravel surface. If milling is
a lable and the City of Laurel can reach an.agreement with the
un y for. construction of the. two block area, an. asphalt
urfaciag? using milling material, could tie the proposed Ar an
oject on ....t4?west to the existing asphalt surface on A1-.d'e_r Ave.
As you. .are. av?ae?;11 government entities i4ie r trying to P
accomplish the required m`aain't narice° ;rith very limited funds.
allings can be an option for streets with low traffic count if pp+
nd1ed properly. With the results we received last year I feel j
nfident in using the milling material.
I appreciate your assistance on the Urban Planning. Project
we wo d on last fall and again request your assistance
considera in obtaining milling material for the City aurel.
If you have ny concerns or questions please call e at your
convenience.
Sincerely, l
ames A...Flisrand
