SEQUIM — City officials are still trying to determine if there are significant savings in using the Clallam County Road Department’s chip sealing process to repair and rebuild city roads.
Earlier this year, City Council members agreed with a report from Public Works Director Jim Bay that chip sealing would be less expensive than using asphalt for repair of city roads.
Chip seal uses a combination of oil and rock to form the road surface.
When the Spruce Street reconstruction project went out for bid, the city found the project would cost $5,000 more if asphalt was used instead of chip sealing.
