E., Acting Dir. of Engineering & Infrastructure SUBJECT: West Decatur Street Milling City Project 9958 /2000-06 The Forest Avenue improvements planned for next spring involves restoring the existing brick street surface. It will be necessary to obtain additional bricks for this project. Portions of the existing street have been cut in the past to make utility service repairs and patch potholes. In addition, some of the existing brick is in poor condition and should be replaced. The bricks currently being removed by City crews making water service disconnects are being saved for reuse. A possible source of additional bricks is the section of Decatur Street between Fairview and Oakland Avenues that was vacated by the City to Millikin University. Decatur Street was a brick street prior to its being resurfaced with bituminous pavement. This section of street may provide a good source for brick to use on Forest Avenue. It is necessary to expose the underlying brick to confirm whether the condition of the brick will be suitable for reuse. This will require the bituminous pavement to be milled off. City staff has made arrangements with Millikin University for the milling to be done on the vacated portion of Decatur Street. Staff contacted Dunn Company to ask if they would do the work and obtain a price for the work as a change order to its contract for base failure repairs (copy attached). Dunn has agreed to do the work for $6,500. The unit price to do this work is consistent with unit prices obtained for comparable work on other projects. This work will require that Dunn use more precaution than normal to ensure that the underlying bricks are not damaged by its equipment. �
