d.   Consideration of approval of the revised 2004 street improvement priority list, and consideration of awarding the bid for this project to Barnhill Contracting Company in the amount of $297,480. (Mr. Tim Bailey)

 

In August of 2004, Town Council approved a priority list of streets, recommended by staff, to be upgraded as part of the 2004 Street Improvements project.  You may recall the priority list was based on the results of an independent pavement condition survey prepared by CH Engineering and the Institute for Transportation Research and Education.  Based on available funding and preliminary cost estimates, staff recommended that 25 street segments totaling 3.3 miles be included as part of the 2004 Street Improvements Project. 

 

During field review, staff made the following observations and recommended changes to the approved priority list.  The streets with a strike through the name have been removed from the priority list due to upcoming sewer projects that require digging up the street.  These streets will be evaluated in the upcoming independent pavement survey and considered for the 2005 priority list depending on the status of the sewer project.  The bottom two streets were added to the priority list to fill in gaps.  A gap is defined as a block next to or between other blocks that are included as part of the 2004 Street Improvements Project and display pavement conditions that would likely include them in next year’s priority list. 

 

Considering the adjustments to the approved priority list noted above, staff is proposing that 17 street segments totaling 2.3 miles be included as part of the 2004 Street Improvements Project. 

 

The revised priority list for the 2004 Street Improvements project is listed in the table below.
