BACKGROUND:
The TED Business Group issued Bid 17-006 seeking a qualified contractor to perform annual street patching throughout the City. The project involves replacing isolated sections of deteriorated pavement with hot-mix asphalt to varying depths, depending upon severity. The strategy is typically used on streets in relatively good condition, but exhibiting isolated defects. The streets do not warrant resurfacing and can be substantially upgraded by patching problem areas. Through this project, permanent patches are installed to take care of potholes developed over winter months. This maintenance program prolongs the life of streets, ultimately saving money.
TED plans on bidding two patching contracts this year. The first contract will address the patching that needs to be completed ahead of the micro-surfacing program. A second contract will be bid during the summer to address those sections of pavement that warrant patching and need to be improved before the winter.
