Title
Fernway Subdivision Roadway and Ditch Grading Improvements 2018 - Bid and Construction Engineering Services Proposal
History
The pavement in Fernway Subdivision was originally constructed in the early 1960’s. At that time, the unincorporated roadways were constructed to a rural cross-section, below Village standards. The Village has spent considerable resources maintaining these roadways since annexing the area over 40 years ago. Our Pavement Management Consultant, Applied Research Associates (ARA), has recommended full pavement reconstruction in conjunction with ribbon curbs to support the pavement edge. Due to the scale of work and expected construction cost, the overall project for the entire subdivision is planned to be completed over nine years, depending on funding.
Beginning in 2016, the first two phases have been successfully completed. The work currently planned for completion in 2018 (year 3), includes 170th Street and 170th Place (88th Avenue east to Village limit). Since beginning this multi-year project, the Village Board has approved contracts with Baxter & Woodman to provide required phase II engineering services. Also, the Village previously engaged Christopher B. Burke Engineering (CBBEL) to design and engineer roadside drainage ditch grading improvements. Both plan sets were incorporated into the Fernway Subdivision Roadway and Ditch Grading Improvements 2018 bid package.
