Larry Sammon and his crack sealing crew are finishing a 27 day DOT job in Clinton county in the next couple of days and will be heading to Story County on I-35 and to the city of Grinnell for about 3 weeks. They also have some work on Hwy 30 west of Ames and Hwy. 20 in Webster County.

They also have a couple of PCC cracksealing jobs in Tama and at the Storm Lake Airport too complete this year.

It was nice to have a big job close to home for a change for Larry’s crew.

Bill Miller and his guys, along with Jake Boyer, just finished a 6,000 ton paving job on Park Avenue in Muscatine. This was probably the most challenging job they have ever done due to traffic and the number of manholes and water shutoffs. The paving turned out pretty nice considering all of the obstacles.

Two employees, Merle Old Father and Henry Williamson,
(a.k.a. Popeye) also gave us a big hand an Park Avenue. They both turned 70 this August. Happy Birthday!!!

They will head to the Muscatine Power and Water Plant, Wild Cat Den State Park and then to the City of Durant where Terry Travis has been most of the year. Illowa is the General Contractor on this large city project which has storm drains, water mains and new curbs and gutters. We have 7,000 ton of asphalt to lay there this year.

Ron Price from Manatts has given us a big hand running a blade along with a little mechanic work when needed for Terry in Durant the last few weeks. A big thanks to Mike Manatt for letting him help us for a while.

Larry Senger has been out sealing and doing various cracksealing jobs around the Quad City area. His big job was the parking lots and drive at the John Deere TPC course in Silvis, IL. He is supposed to get tickets to the tournament for us.

Keep working safely out there and keep an eye on traffic, especially on the 4-lanes.
