2011 Road Improvement Program - Bid Award
History
The annual Road Improvement Program has a Board approved line item in the amount of $2,720,000 in the Fiscal Year 2011 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. 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.
