Libertyville Awards $103,065 for Pavement Patching

Some 1,875-square-yards of Libertyville pavement and roadways will get rehabilitated thanks to low bids from the .

The village set aside $1 million for the Dymond Road project in its 2011-12 budget. Low bids reduced the final project cost to $850,000, about $150,000 under budget, according to village documents.

To utilize the available funds, village staff decided that a second pavement rehabilitation project should be developed and constructed this year.

“We have three areas that we will be concentrating on concrete patching,” said Libertyville Public Works Director John Heinz.

1. An intersection and a cul-de-sac in the Interlaken Ridge area, along St. Williams Drive, just east of Butterfield Road — repairing 375 square yards of concrete and pavement.
2. Central portion of the village, around Cranes Boulevard and Austin Avenue — repairing 1,000 square yards of pavement.
3. South end of the village, in the area of Florsheim Drive and Artaius Parkway, all the way back to the wastewater treatment plant — repairing 500 square yards of pavement.

Heinz says the area near Florsheim Drive and Artaius Parkway “is one of the most deplorable streets we have.”

The village received eight bids for the concrete pavement-patching project, and awarded it to DiNatale Construction Inc., which came in with the lowest bid at $103,065.

Heinz expects to start patching pavements in the areas in about two to three weeks.
