Question:
How much does it cost to do additional miles of street paving? (Councilman Chapman)
Response:
The proposed FY 2020 budget includes $5.5 million or 55 miles of street paving/reconstruction. This is an increase of 140% from six years ago. The City has a total of 560 lane miles of which it is responsible for operating, maintenance and capital reconstruction. Based on current contract pricing for increments above that, T&ES staff estimate approximately $100,000 per lane mile for major street resurfacing. This includes any required concrete curb and gutter repair, traffic control, and related striping post resurfacing. If significant base failures are found during resurfacing the cost could increase by as much as 25% or $125,000 per lane mile.
