BACKGROUND: The Street Reconstruction Program provides a new subgrade and pavement surface in curbed or non-curbed streets or alleys having existing asphalt pavements that suffered a significant loss of structural capacity. Streets proposed for this project have existing pavement that is badly deteriorated through 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 successfully applied. 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 the existing street, the construction of a stabilized base course and the placement of an asphalt surface. This work is generally completed over the course of one week. A listing of the streets included in this year's reconstruction project is attached for your information. The project specifications were prepared by the Engineering Division. The project was advertised on A ril 8, 2004 and bids were received on A ri126, 2004.
