February 9, 2023A final balancing change order has been submitted for consideration at the February 12, 2024 Village Board meeting.
February 2, 2024Remaining punch list work is pending. Punch list work that pertains to parkway restoration will need to be deferred until spring due to weather. The punch list work is the only remaining site work needed to achieve final completion of construction. Staff is also working with the contractor to reconcile the final quantities for the project. A final balancing change order will be submitted for consideration at a future Village Board meeting.
December 8, 2023Punch list work is currently underway. Punch list work that pertains to parkway restoration will need to be deferred until spring due to weather. The punch list work is the only remaining site work needed to achieve final completion of construction.
November 17, 2023The only site work remaining is the establishment period for the new parkway sod and the completion of punch list work.
November 10, 2023Parkway restoration and pavement markings were completed this week. The only items remaining are the establishment period for the new parkway sod and the completion of punch list work.
November 3, 2023Paving of the final surface layer of asphalt, or “surface course”, was completed this week. Parkway restoration is also currently in progress. Pavement striping and punch list work still remain.
October 20, 2023Milling of the pavement is now complete. Paving of a preliminary layer of asphalt, or “leveling binder course” is in progress throughout the project area. The preliminary paving may be followed by some interim efforts such as pavement patching and manhole adjustments. Those interim activities are location dependent, and so whether or not they will be needed will vary throughout the project area.  Paving of a final layer of asphalt, or “surface course” will take place after all preliminary paving and interim efforts are complete.
October 13, 2023Milling of the pavement continued this week. The weather the last few days of the week resulted in some interruptions in that work, and so some of the milling will likely continue into early next week. Paving of a preliminary layer of asphalt, or “leveling binder course” was completed on Harvard Avenue and a portion of Central Boulevard this week. Those preliminary paving efforts will follow behind the milling operations on all streets. The preliminary paving may be followed by some interim efforts such as pavement patching and manhole adjustments. Those interim activities are location dependent, and so whether or not they will be needed will vary throughout the project area. Paving of a final layer of asphalt, or “surface course” will take place after all preliminary paving and interim efforts are complete.
October 6, 2023Concrete work is now complete. Milling of the pavement began late this week and is expected to continue for at least one and as many as two more weeks. The paving work that will follow the milling will actually consist of two separate efforts—paving of a preliminary layer of asphalt, or “leveling binder course”, and paving of a final layer of asphalt, or “surface course”. In between paving of the two layers of asphalt there may also be a need to complete interim efforts such as pavement patching and structure adjustments. Those interim activities are location dependent, and so whether or not they will be needed will vary throughout the project area.
September 29, 2023Concrete work taking place in front of Ardmore Elementary School is now mostly complete. Concrete removals and concrete pours are ongoing at other project locations, with removal efforts expected to be completed by the end of this week, and installation efforts expected to be completed by the end of next week. Milling of asphalt pavement throughout the project area is expected to begin after all concrete work has been completed.
