Williams,Jr., City Manager <br /> Bruce A. McNabb, Director of Public Works �(� <br /> Stephen P. Swanson, City Engineer� <br /> SUBJECT: Milling And Rehabilitation <br /> City Project 9708 <br /> The City's milling and rehabilitation program involves the removal of one to three inches of <br /> the existing street surface by a milling operation and then placing a new hot bituminous asphalt <br /> pavement surface over the milled area. The purpose of this program is to restore the useful life of <br /> a street surface prior to the pavement deteriorating to a condition that requires complete <br /> reconstruction. An additional benefit to the program is that it improves the rideability of the <br /> street's surface. This year's milling and rehabilitation will include approximately 18 lane miles of <br /> streets throughout the City. <br /> The Engineering Division prepared the specifications for this project. In the process of <br /> preparing this year's paving programs, staff made inquiries to nine other central Illinois <br /> communities about what they have been paying for hot bituminous pavement. This was done to <br /> aid staff in preparing our estimates and to track prices in the area for trends and typical costs. <br /> Three responses were received with the reported unit prices varying from a low of$36.00 per ton <br /> in Quincy to a high of$43.00 per ton in Bloomington. The unit price for the low bidder for this <br /> project was $42.76 per ton. <br />
