The Park Avenue Reconstruction Project is the phase 1 implementation of the Downtown Revitalization Plan. The scope of work includes installing traffic control, storm water pollution protection, approximately 550 linear feet of 24-inch storm sewer with inlets and manhole, removal and installation of a fire hydrant, removing existing asphalt pavement and installing concrete pavement with curb, parallel and angled on-street parking, sidewalks, pavers, streetscape items such as park benches, street lighting, and tree planting.
Third party utilities will be relocated within the right-of-way during the construction of this project. Duration needed is approximately 6 weeks. Contractor will coordinate with the Third-Party Utilities to schedule this work concurrent with or independent of the project’s construction activities. This will require the Third-Party Utilities to work within the Contractor’s construction zone. It is anticipated the Private utilities will be relocated in the 10-foot section (primarily under the 5’ sidewalk section) behind the curb (primarily on the south side). Construction of the roadway/parking will be completed prior to the installation of the private utilities. Separate agreements have been made between the City and the Third-Party Utilities.
