2012 Road Chloride Program – For the past few years the Township has paid for chloriding the public gravel roads in the Township. Last year there was 33.67 miles of road treated. The list of roads in the program has been reviewed with Maintenance Supervisor Chris Doll of the Road Commission for Oakland County. A number of short streets ranging from 150 feet to 616 feet have been added to the list of treated roads. The option before the board was to either award a bid for road chloriding to the Road Commission, to the Road Maintenance Corp. or to not award the bid. The Road Commission was awarded the bid despite being the high bidder, mostly due to citizen concerns over Road Maintenance Corp’s job quality in 2011.
