City streets slated " for Powell Bill work By Ed Miller > Unpaved streeu in Raeford will be paved in the next few weeks, following action taken Thursday by members of the City Council. Of the four bids submitted, the council accepted and approved the lowest given by Lee Paving Com pany out of Sanford. Lee's bid was for $43,686.74, City Manager Tom Phillips said, i The city had estimated it would cost around 160,000 for the pav ing, Phillips said. Funding to pay for the paving comes from Raeford's share of state Powell Bill Funds, said Phillips. Each year, the state gives cities a certain amount of money out of Powell Bill Funds to be used only on city streets, said the manager. ' This year, Raeford received $72,683.26, according to recent release from the North Carolina Department of Transportation (DOT). The paving is to be done in November "before it gets too cold," Bill Sellars, Raeford City Engineer said. I In addition to money spent on paving, $1,000 is to be taken out of the funds to hire an outside inspec tor to be with the work crew the entire time they are working, said Phillips. The bid given was very low, ac cording to Phillips. "The contractor might try to economize somewhere," he said. The inspector will be on hand to make sure the contractor does not skimp on specifications, said Phillips adding that he does not ex pect any misdealings as Lee Paving is a very reputable firm. Phillips has already been in con tact with the inspector. With the low bid, the city will have about $27,996.52 left in their share of Powell Bill Funds. According to the manager, these funds will be used in other areas of street maintenance. "We will use some of it for pat ching and curb and gutter work," he said. Other amounts of the money will be used for street sweeping operations, said Phillips. Although the city's new street sweeper was not purchased with the funds, some operations costs will be paid for with them, he said. Other uses for the money will be to purchase stop signs and other appropriate signs for the city. No street identification signs will be bought with Powell Bill Funds, added the manager.
