Koch Maladministration allows paving to be done when way colder than non-emergency paving should be done

The cost of heating up asphalt during winter months in New England

Laying asphalt is well-known to not be advised to be undertaken when the temperature is lower than fifty degrees Fahrenheit outside unless an emergency repair is needed poses the risk of problems later with so laid asphalt.

Similarly known is that the cost of making asphalt when the weather is cold runs more to a lot more as the cost to heat asphalt up to six hundred degrees rises during its making for reasons obvious. 

Further, even more extra production costs are known to likely be concurrency incurred as most asphalt plaints shutdown for the winter and thus those seeking to lay asphalt during the cold time of the year often face the additional cost of paying for the restarting of production facilities so as to make a typically special order and relatively small batch of asphalt.

So what if it is cold outside …

Known by those outside of the Koch Maladministration anyway.

On day that never reached a high of but merely thirty degrees and thus over twenty degrees colder than the recommended low temperature for laying asphalt, a Quincy Quarry News Citizen Journalist dimed the Quarry yesterday that a short, quiet, and out of the way residential street near the intersection of Adams Street and Furnace Brook Parkway was undergoing a repaving.

Accordingly, the Quarry’s City Editor then all but immediately dispatched Quincy Quarry Mobile One so as to endeavor to confirm the otherwise inconceivable or at at least fiduciarily most imprudent.

The Quarry also subsequently found out that the City of Quincy will be planting trees along this street in spite of its well-known brown thumb when it comes to city trees planted outside of the metes and bounds of Kim Jong Koch Plaza in front of Quincy’s two City Halls.

In turn, all things duly considered, the Koch Machine is thus surely in election year taking care of long overdue maintenance shortcomings mode regardless of the unduly expensive cost so incurred to the taxpayers footing the bill.

About the only perhaps good news is that laying the second topcoat of asphalt on this street might be delayed until the weather warms up come spring and as was so left undone until later a bit over a year ago when a repaving project in a Quincy Point neighborhood was not completed before last winter and as was duly exposéd at the time by Quincy Quarry.

Even so, unclear at this point is if the base coat laid at this time will hold up underneath its eventual top coating when such happens..
