Fernway Subdivision Roadway and Ditch Grading Improvements 2016 - Bid and Construction Engineering Services
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, 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.
On November 16, 2015 the Village Board approved a contract with Baxter & Woodman to provide required Phase II Engineering services for the first segment of this multi-year road improvement project.
The following roads are planned to be completed in 2016 (year 1), 167th Place (88th Avenue east to Village limit) and a section of Robinhood Drive (167th Street to 171st Street).
In addition, 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 2016 bid package.
