The approved 2023 Capital Improvement Program includes $3,800,000 for the reconstruction of local streets.  The scheduled work under this contract includes fully reconstructing seven different street segments (approximately 1.46 miles). Reconstruction is completed on roadways that are experiencing sub-base (foundational) failure and are no longer candidates for maintenance activities, like patching or resurfacing.  The scope of work for this project consists of the reconstruction of existing local roads with full-depth asphalt removals, earthwork, subbase granular base course, HMA binder and surface courses, intermittent sidewalk (including making all ramps ADA accessible), driveway pavements, intermittent drainage structure adjustments, sod restoration and all incidental and collateral work necessary to complete the street reconstruction project.
