BACKGROUND:
The other related item on the City Council agenda is:
* 22-0373 Adopt a resolution to allow for the expenditure of State Motor Fuel Tax
In March 2022, the Transportation, Engineering and Development (TED) Business Group issued Bid 22-003 seeking contractors to perform fiberized crackfilling on various City streets. Crackfilling consists of cleaning and sealing any cracks, voids or joints two inches in width or less with asphalt cement reinforced by polypropylene fibers. It is a cost-effective preventative maintenance technique and when performed routinely, it can keep water and debris from getting into the pavement.
This work will be paid for using state motor fuel tax (MFT) funds. The expenditure of state MFT funds requires the approval and supervision of the Illinois Department of Transportation. The corporate authorities of the municipality must adopt a resolution appropriating the MFT funds.
