$4.4 million dollar of federal highway dollars left over from the Broad Street Parkway that we want to use to
pave several arterials, Amherst Street, Broad Street, Somerset Parkway and if there is still money some of that
will go towards Kinsley Street.
So the program is very large, much larger than we’ve ever done before and we need the services of consultant
Hayner/Swanson a local firm has been helping us with this program and this is another contact we want so
they can help us with the management of the program and to make decisions, engineering decisions, as well
as providing personnel that we don’t have on our staff to do construction observation. So that is essentially
what this contract is about. It is very extensive and beyond that we do have other programs related, like crack
sealing as well as micro surfacing which is a thin application to give you 5 to 7 years. If a street is not too far
gone we can get another few years out of the pavement as well as managing how we go out and evaluate the
streets. Every year we have a firm that goes out and looks at portions of the streets and comes back with
information regarding the quality of the pavement and how we should program funding in the future. So streets
aren't picked in any arbitrary fashion, it’s very sophisticated the way the streets are selected. So
Hayner/Swanson, under this contract, will help us with managing and selecting those streets.
Alderman Caron
It is just a comment. | think this is a great resource of funding to help engineering because there is so much
going on and if we have all these problems with our streets, Hayner/Swanson is a good firm to be dealing with
that for the engineering department. So | totally agree with this contract.

So the next item we have already approved, it was both in our suspension pile and on the agenda but this is
the $35,000.00 for Marshall Street, which we already did so we will go on to the next communication.
