SUBJECT:2025/26 CONCRETE STREET PAVEMENT IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM
NO. 3 (CAMPUS AVENUE)
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
The Concrete Street Pavement Improvements Program is the annual program for the removal
and replacement of deteriorated pavements from concrete streets and replacement with a new
pavement surface.
This project involves the reconstruction of Campus Avenue from Lincoln Way to
Oakland Ave. Campus Avenue is primarily rental properties where residents typically
are relocating during the end of July and the first weeks of August. The project is
planned for construction over two years to avoid impacting this typical relocation
period for residents.
This project will include removal and replacement of the pavement surface as well as the
replacement of storm sewer, sanitary sewer structures, and spot pipe repairs. Sidewalk ramps
in the project limits will be replaced to meet current ADA requirements.
This program also includes separate projects located along Clark Avenue and Sunset
Drive that will be bid independently of the Campus Avenue project.
WHKS was contracted for the design of this project and have completed the plans and
specifications. Engineering costs shown in the table below include the cost of WHKS's
design for all streets in the 2025/26 Concrete Street Pavement Improvements Program.
However, for accounting purposes, the engineering and administration costs will be divided
appropriately among the projects in the Concrete Pavement Improvements Program at final
acceptance so the capital assets can be accurately valued.
