What contractor do we use?
-
We use a variety of contractors and the choice is dependent on reliability, availability, cost, and quality of work. The contractor and type of equipment used will vary based on the type of work needed.
How much do we pay for material?
-
Road material ranges from $350 to $500 per load and can vary based on the mix and quality of material, and availability. A huge portion of the cost of material is the transportation costs of the material to site. We are constantly seeking new sources, new mixes of material and better deals.
What are you doing about the impact of construction on the road?
-
Construction in our rapidly developing area is inevitable. Traffic cannot be prohibited on our public roads. If public property (such as a road) is known to be damaged by an individual, a denuncia can be filed and the person causing the damage can be charged. Our best way to reduce impact of construction is to work directly with the property owners and their builders and contractors to follow guidelines, contribute extra money for road impact, and be respectful with deliveries based on road conditions and weather. See the website page on Construction Guidelines.
