Summit County Engineer’s office has summer road work planned

Print

 

Akron, Ohio – Alan Brubaker, P.E., P.S., Summit County Engineer has finalized the summer road work plans to take place in various locations around the County for 2010.  Due to a series of cost saving administrative and personnel maneuvers, the Summit County Engineer’s office was able to increase the road resurfacing and pavement maintenance budget.  Additionally, all projects went out to bid and will cost $136,925.00 less than the engineer’s estimate.

“In these economic times, it has been my general philosophy to go back to the basics”, said Brubaker.  “That means we reduced overhead costs, cut unnecessary projects that would require us to borrow more money and instead lived within our means to perform our fundamental job function – maintenance and repair of County roads and bridges”.
