SROA wins ‘excellence in paving’ award For the second time in five years, the Sunriver Owners Association has received an award for the quality of its paving projects. On Feb. 18, the Asphalt Pavement Association of Oregon presented a first place award in the special projects category to SROA for construction of the pathway along Fort Rock Road and reconstruction of the basketball court at Fort Rock Park. Both projects were undertaken and completed in 2015. “The homeowners ought to be pretty proud. Their pathways are as good as they get in Oregon,” said Perry Thatcher, foreman of SROA’s Public Works Department. “The contractor, 7 Peaks Paving, is very proud. They’ve collected four of these awards over 20 years

“This award means we are doing it right, setting a standard for the rest of industry to follow,” said Mark Smith, director of the SROA Public Works Department. “And we haven’t stopped improving the process. We’ve evolved to using smaller size aggregate for the final surface, which makes for a smoother surface. We’ve started using a wide spectrum oil that stays pliable in cold weather and results in less cracking of the paved surfaces.” “Mark Smith has taken projects in Sunriver to whole new levels. He designs and builds projects to last and he has high
expectations. Every dollar is well spent,” said Todd Allen, owner of 7 Peaks Paving. “We are thrilled to earn the award alongside SROA. It shows that our crews care about what they do. It’s a big deal to be recognized by our peers in this industry.” If all goes as planned this summer, SROA will complete reconstruction of all 33 miles of the Sunriver pathway system one year ahead of schedule. That could result in an estimated savings of $400,000 to the owners. Information: marks@ srowners.org or 541-5932483.
Scam alert: Fake Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes

If you choose the private, they tell you that you have won a brand new Mercedes, and ask you where you would
