BACKGROUND:
The Transportation, Engineering and Development Business Group issued Bid 20-007 seeking contractors 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 but can be substantially upgraded by patching problem areas. Additionally, this project is used to install permanent patches to take care of potholes that developed over winter months. This maintenance program prolongs the life of streets, ultimately saving money.
