BACKGROUND:
The TED Business Group issued Bid 17-156 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 the severity of deterioration. This 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 fill potholes developed over winter months. This maintenance program prolongs the life of streets, ultimately saving money.
Patching was bid in two phases this year. The first phase was recently completed to address the locations that needed work in advance of the micro-surfacing program. This second phase will address those sections of pavement that warrant patching and need to be improved before winter.
