BACKGROUND:
This annual program utilizes repair and reconstruction techniques to improve the City's arterial
street network. These pavement improvements are needed to restore structural integrity,
serviceability, and rideability. Targeted streets have reached a point of accelerated

2, in the amount of $68,250, was approved by City Council on October 8, 2024, and added
additional patching areas along Airport Road and Riverside Drive. Change Order No. 3 (this
action), a deduction in the amount of $57,860.86, includes a reduction in the quantity of
geogrid subgrade treatment and balances the final field measured quantities.
Construction was completed in the amount of $1,405,169.13.
Revenue and expenses associated with this program are estimated as follows:
Funding Source Available Revenue Estimated Expenses
23/24 Arterial St. (G.O. Bonds)$ 1,500,000
