BACKGROUND:
The Transportation, Engineering and Development (TED) Business Group issued Bid 21-004 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 used on streets in relatively good condition but exhibiting isolated defects. Additionally, this project will install permanent patches to take care of potholes that developed over the winter months. This maintenance program prolongs the life of streets, ultimately saving money.
