Plans set for roadwork in Lloyd for 2021

Posted

Each year, typically in February, Lloyd Highway Superintendent Rich Klotz submits a plan to the Town Board, called a 264 Agreement, highlighting the roads he is planning to repair, improve and/or pave and the estimated cost for each. The agreement is signed by Klotz and the entire board, signifying the approval of the expenditures, and a copy is sent to Commissioner Thomas Jackson, of the Ulster County Department of Public Works, in Kingston.

In 2021, $415,000 will be spent on the town’s highways, “including sluices, culverts, and bridges having a span of less than five feet and boardwalks or renewals thereof.”

Klotz targeted 7 roads with widths of 20 feet, that will be fixed with Cold Mix/Chip Seal measuring 2 inches thick and grading and drainage to be done as needed, starting with 0.53 miles of South Ohioville Road at a cost of $39,236; 0.07 miles of Carolyn Drive leading to the cul-de-sac at a cost of $6,506; .25 miles of South Ohioville Road leading to a dead end for $17,122; .14 miles from South Street leading to Plattekill T/L for $11,333; .57 miles from S. Riverside Rd leading to Kisor Rd for $36,111; .20 miles from Mile Hill Rd to the Dead End for $13,733 and .16 miles from Haviland Rd leading to Mile Hill Rd. for $12,388.

North Rd and leading to New Paltz Rd for a distance of 0.39 miles will be paved for $56,085; from Route 9W north leading to a cul-de-sac for 0.15 mile will cost $35,550 and on Rte. 44/55 for a distance of 0.35 miles will cost $33,754.

Lloyd Highway Superintendent Rich Klotz said $415,000 will cover all of the road work including pipe work, patching, paving and the subcontracted labor, “that’s everything.” He waiting to receive bids from two companies about pricing, noting that, “if it comes in cheaper I can do another road.” He said pricing for asphalt is going up because of the increased costs of fuel. Klotz believes he may receive a little more money this year from CHIPS, an annual state program that was established in 1981 to help fund road work for municipalities. He is hoping to start the roadwork by Mid May and expects it may run through September.

Klotz said his total departmental budget is at about $1.5 million.
