BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
Hobson Road is an arterial roadway under the jurisdiction of the DuPage County Department of Transportation. The County plans to mill and resurface the roadway in 2022 from Washington Street east to IL Route 53 in Woodridge.
There are several City of Naperville streets that intersect with Hobson Road. Over the years, during intersecting street resurfacing projects, the City has stopped at the paving joint that was created when Hobson Road was widened in 2004. Those joints vary from 50 to 82 feet away from Hobson Road.
When the County resurfaces its roadways, it stops at the jurisdiction line, not the paving joint. This results in sections of the intersecting streets not getting resurfaced. The City became aware of this discrepancy as the County was marking out the project last month.
DISCUSSION:
The County understands the issue these short sections of old pavement present to the City. The County is willing to add this work to its resurfacing contract if the City pays for the work in the City right-of-way. The County has estimated this additional work to cost $19,539.19.
Attached is an intergovernmental agreement obligating the City to pay the County for the additional work. Funds to pay for this work are available from the underspend in the 2022 pavement maintenance program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The County’s work on the City streets will cost the City $19,539.19 which funds are available from the 2022 pavement maintenance program.
