Underfunded preservation
Agencies skip preservation, then pay 4–10x for full reconstruction five years later.
Applications · Municipal infrastructure
Municipal infrastructure: DOT and local agency programs scoped per surface, not one-size-fits-all.
Public infrastructure budgets stretch further when the program is scoped to the surface, not the lowest-bid sealcoat. We help agencies build multi-year preservation plans that pull from the right product families for each route.

Problems we see
Where municipal infrastructure surfaces fail.
One-size-fits-all bids
A blanket sealcoat spec wastes money on healthy surfaces and underdelivers on failing ones.
Public scrutiny
Every closure and detour shows up on the local news. Schedule discipline matters.
What we put down
The system for municipal infrastructure.
Network-level scoping
Condition assessment and per-segment treatment selection — preserve what's healthy, restore what's worn, using the product best suited to each route.
Multi-year programs
5-year capital plans with budget visibility per route and per fiscal year.
Public communication
Closure notices, detour plans, and resident-facing comms baked into the work.
Outcomes
What you get when the work is done.
Documented, repeatable, and built into the close-out package on every job.
- More miles preserved per budget dollar
- Predictable annual capital plans
- Public-facing schedule discipline
Questions
Municipal infrastructure questions, answered.
Are you on cooperative purchasing schedules?+
Yes. We hold positions on common state and regional cooperative purchasing contracts. Ask about your jurisdiction.
Who actually does the work?+
Our crews are a blend of Harkin staff and vetted subcontract partners, all trained through the Harkin Certification process and separately certified by every product manufacturer we install. That's how we can bring the right system to agency-owned road networks instead of forcing one product to fit every job.
