Title
Road Improvement Program - Asphalt Restoration
History
For many years the Public Works department has been responsible for asphalt restorations resulting from construction and repair work. Asphalt restorations are generally a result of repair work within the right-of-ways from water main breaks, storm sewers and sanitary sewer repairs.
Public Works staff includes funding in the budget each year for asphalt materials for in-house repairs. Current staffing challenges, coupled with a significant work load, has required the need to engage our Road Improvement Program contractor Austin Tyler Construction Company of Elwood, Illinois to assist with the required repairs.
There is a Board approved budget line item, account 031-6002-462800 with a current balance of $12,639.12 to purchase asphalt restoration materials. Staff is recommending adding the $12,639.12 to the 2014 Road Improvement Program as awarded to the Austin Tyler and contrcting for the needed work.
On September 2, 2014, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
Funds for this project are available in the Public Works supply account 031-6002-462800 for asphalt materials.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the addition of $12,639.12 to the 2014 Road Improvement Program contract with Austin Tyler Construction Company of Elwood, IL for the completion of asphalt restorations at the current contract unit prices.
