The systematic repair and replacement of aging, cracked, and failing pavement is part of our ongoing maintenance program.  By removing and replacing panels of concrete, the life span of the roadway is extended.  Annual contracts, just like this, have been implemented in prior years:

This project was competitively bid and publicly advertised, with terms for selection based on "best value". Upon review of the price proposals, reference checks, past work experience of each bidder, and the time of completion bid on the project, it is recommended to award the contract to Advance Contracting Group. Time savings were considered due to the need to complete as much work during the summer months, while there is traditionally less traffic and school is not in session. This allows for less construction related delays for the traveling public and reduces impact for schools.  Bids were normalized in the attached Normalized Bid Evaluation Chart to show the lowest bidder, when considering time for completion as well as absolute price.  The value of each day saved was estimated to be $240 in value added to any bid with greater time proposed for completion.  After evaluating the complete bid packages in this manner, Advance Contracting Group represents the best value.
