2012 Road Improvement Program - Bid Award
History
The Capital Improvement Roadway Maintenance Program Budget has a Board approved line item in the amount of $2,720,000 in the Fiscal Year 2012 Budget.
Historically, the program consists of the annual Road Improvement Program (including miscellaneous pavement patching and infrastructure repairs), the pneumatic concrete repair program, the pavement marking program and the roadway crack filling program. The Road Improvement portion of the Roadway Maintenance Program is bid each year. The programs are also bid on a multi-year basis and have previously gone before the Board. These programs utilize/encumber $300,000 of the Capital Roadway Maintenance Program funds.
Streets in various subdivisions throughout the Village have been selected by staff for resurfacing based upon condition analysis. In addition to pavement-related work, failed curbs are replaced or repaired on an as-needed basis and hazardous sidewalks are replaced. As an additional part of the Road Improvement Program, storm sewer underdrains will be installed in various locations within areas where excessive groundwater has or may cause premature pavement failure. This project also includes significant patching throughout the Village to prolong the service life of adjacent pavement sections.
