The attached resolution authorizes the award of the construction contract for the North
Grandview Avenue Pavement Rehabilitation Project.
BACKGROUND
North Grandview Avenue from Loras Boulevard to Rosedale Avenue was last
reconstructed in 1992. Since that time, the concrete joints have become badly
deteriorated. The pavement ride is rough and city staff have received many complaints
from the public.
DISCUSSION
This project will include the complete removal and replacement of the concrete pavement
drive lanes and replacement with Hot Mix Asphalt pavement (HMA). The concrete curb
and gutter will remain with spot repairs occurring as needed. The ADA ramps will be
replaced and upgraded in a future project this summer.
The intent is to reconstruct the main drive lane pavement this summer while school is out
to minimize disruption as this is a main traffic corridor for north/south traffic.
The scope of the Project is as follows:
Removal of PCC pavement from the drive lanes on North Grandview Avenue from Loras
Boulevard to Audubon Street and replacement with 8" thick HMA pavement. Pavement
scarification and resurfacing of the pavement from Audubon Street to Rosedale Avenue
is also planned to occur as part of this project. Some of the major project quantities
include:
Excavation Class 10 — 990 CY
Granular Subbase — 1800 Ton
HMA Pavement — 1940 Ton
PCC Pavement Removal — 3943 SY
Milling of HMA Pavement — 2542 SY

transit routes. Additionally, Greater Dubuque Development has been contacted about the
outreach efforts.
