Explanation
* The 2019 resurfacing contract will pave an estimated 126 miles in the city. Work will include traffic control, asphalt and concrete pavement milling, asphalt paving, base failure repair, asphalt surface treatment, utility adjustments, manhole frame and cover replacements, wheelchair ramp installation, sidewalk, curb repairs, and pavement markings.
* The total mileage to be paved is dependent on asphalt price stability throughout the contract.
* Resurfacing is the most effective treatment to preserve and maintain the condition of streets within the City of Charlotte.

* Streets are selected for repaving based on pavement condition ratings, field evaluations by staff, and information from a computerized pavement management system.
* Notice of resurfacing is provided to motorists through the use of highly visible signs placed on the street at least two weeks prior to the start of construction activities. Paving generally occurs between April and October.
* On July 3, 2018, the City issued an Invitation to Bid; three bids were received.
* Blythe Brothers Asphalt Co., LLC was selected as the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.
* The project is anticipated to be complete by fourth quarter 2019.
