immElosow <br /> RESIDENTS IN NORTHOME AREA <br /> DECEMBER 13, 1994 <br /> PAGE THREE <br /> 2. What pavement section were the adjacent streets designed to, and when will they <br /> require recomstruction? <br /> Terry Maurer explained that he did not work for the City when the streets were <br /> constructed, but his guess is either a 7 or 9 -ton design. He does not see complete <br /> reconstruction in the foreseeable future (next 5 -7 years). <br /> Mr. Maurer also stated that through the specification, construction traffic could be <br /> given a specific route to minimize the impact on adjacent streets. This will be <br /> considered when the specification is completed. <br /> 3. Why was a 9-ton pavement design chosen, and what is the pavement life? <br /> A 9 -ton design was chosen based on the type of traffic that uses the alley, which <br /> includes garbage trucks. The design life is 20 years; however, with proper <br /> maintenance and surface rehabilitation, such as seal coating and eventually an <br /> overlay, the alley can be expected to last 30-40 years before requiring <br /> reconstruction. <br /> 4. What happens if damage to my property occurs during construction? <br /> If damage to your property occurs, as a result of the construction activities, the <br /> contractor will be required to repair any damage, or replace the item that was <br /> damaged. <br /> 5. How will driveways be restored? <br /> Bituminous driveways in good condition will a t w cut a fe feet past the edge of <br /> the new pavement in order to maintain the f <br /> driveways will have a short bituminous lip feathered into the gravel. If a concrete <br /> driveway requires removal, it will be saw cut or broke -off at the nearest joint. <br /> Bituminous driveways in poor condition will have the pavement removed in as <br /> straight a line as possible. A narrow overlay will be feathered into the driveway <br /> pavement beyond the match point to help prevent deterioration of the driveway. <br /> 6. If I wish to replace my driveway, when should I have the work performed? <br /> Driveway repair work should be delayed until the project is constructed. The <br /> resident can contact the contractor on his own to see if they would be interested in <br /> doing the additional work, or get a quote from a local contractor after the alley <br /> work is completed. <br />
