This is primarily a paving project.

Pavement smoothness/roughness, concrete paving, and pavement marking in addition to other work will also likely require specialty contractor(s) and equipment. The cost for this project is estimated to be between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000. 4. DESCRIPTION OF WORK • Successful application of asphalt paving and milling, which comprises approximately 70% of the project and will require specialty contractor and equipment and special asphalt mix. • Provide a qualified, independent testing company for density testing. • Protect adjacent materials (i.e. granite, stone, pavers) from any damage including asphalt stain.
