2010 Road Improvement Program - Bid Award
History
The annual Road Improvement Program has a Board approved line item in the amount of $2,406,800 in the Fiscal Year 2010 Budget.
Historically, the project consists of milling the existing asphalt surface to remove failed pavement and overlay milled pavement surface with a new wear-surface. Streets in various subdivisions throughout the Village have been selected for resurfacing by Staff based upon condition analysis. The list of selected streets has previously been presented to the Committee for review and comment. In addition to pavement-related work, failed curbs are replaced or repaired on an as-needed basis and hazardous sidewalks are replaced.
