Title
Fernway 2021 Phase Six Design Engineering- Proposal
History
The pavement in Fernway Subdivision was originally constructed in the early 1960’s. At that time, the unincorporated roadways were constructed with a rural cross section, far below current Village standards. The Village has spent considerable resources maintaining these roadways, creek culverts and water mains since annexing the area over 40 years ago.
Due to the scale of work and expected construction cost, since its 2016 inception the comprehensive road and ditch project for the entire subdivision has been projected to span nine (9) years. An overall Fernway phased improvement map is provided for reference, showing the nine (9) color-coded street areas representing each anticipated reconstruction project year. The map also identifies six (6) watershed areas defined by green borders and numbers. The determining factor for each project year is dictated by the lay of the land, working from low-lying areas to higher areas; however, since there are several separate (and some independent) watersheds in Fernway, the proposed project years are a guide and not absolute.
The 2016 through 2020 phases of this project have all been completed with positive results. Note that the road construction and final ditch restoration for the 2020 project carried-over to spring 2021 due to early onset of winter last season. Regardless of the carry-over, the project was completed in a timely fashion by PT Ferro Construction. The sodded ditches have rooted well and the grass has begun to grow nicely.
The 2021 Fernway road and ditch design engineering includes field evaluation, utility coordination, pavement rehabilitation evaluation, specifications, detailed drawings, ditch re-grading plan and profile sheets with cross-sectioning and bidding assistance. The 2021 project area consists of the following streets highlighted in dark blue on the attached map:
