BACKGROUND:
The Transportation, Engineering and Development (TED) Business Group issued Bid 23-002 seeking contractors to resurface approximately 4.27 miles (22,545 ft) of various local roadways.
The City currently maintains almost 460 centerline miles of road through the annual Street Maintenance Program to ensure smooth roads and protect the investment in the pavement base. When resurfacing is delayed, the roadway can no longer be effectively resurfaced. These base failures will lead to pavement failure much sooner than planned and result in additional funds expended to keep the roadways in a serviceable condition.
The TED Business Group will conduct two street resurfacing programs this year. The first program, using state motor fuel tax (MFT) funds, was awarded in April 2023. The second program uses City funds and is the subject of this request.
