Streets requiring reconstruction generally have pavement that is badly deteriorated through the combined effects of age and use. These pavements can no longer be effectively maintained by the City's street crews nor can a standard mill and overlay be applied with the hope of long term success. An additional goal of the project is to restore any existing curb and gutter to full function wherever possible. Street reconstruction work involves the removal of all, or portions, of the existing street, the construction of a stabilized road base and the placement of a new asphalt surface. A listing of the streets included in this year's reconstruction project is attached for your information. The project plans and specifications were prepared by Engineering Division staff. The project was advertised April 17, 2006, and bids were opened on May 4, 2006. The results for the letting are as follows: Compared to Engineer's Est.
