Project Description <br /> The reconstruction project proposes to mix lime into the sub-grade to stabilize it, place a rock <br /> base on top of that followed by an 8" concrete surface. The south half of the street was <br /> reconstructed this way in 2011 with the expectation of reconstructing the north half of the <br /> street the following year. Limited staff availability to oversee the project due to the intense <br /> downtown streetscape work over the 2012 summer resulted in the reconstruction of the north <br /> half to be postponed to 2013. For Phase 2,the north half of the street will be removed and <br /> replaced along with some sections of the south half of the street left untouched after Phase 1. <br /> Pavement in front of driveways will be constructed in a manner to keep access open to the <br /> businesses. This work will be coordinated with each business to assure minimal disruption to <br /> their operations. If the project extends into the time of the Farm Progress Show,work will be <br /> suspended and traffic control removed until after the event. <br /> Bid Results <br /> The project scope and specifications were prepared by the Engineering Division and <br /> approved by the Illinois Department of Transportation(IDOT) for the use of Motor Fuel Tax <br /> funds.
