Site work and paving for a mixed-use development in Clinton, Iowa. Completed plans call for site work for a road / highway; for paving for a road / highway; sidewalk / parking lot; sidewalk / parking lot; and water / sewer project.

As of 3/17/22 Due to a discrepancy in bid documents, the bid opening for the above project scheduled for 2 p.m. today, did not take place. This project is a reconstruction of the 700 blocks of So. 3 rd St. and So. 4 th St. The full reconstruction of these blocks calls for the removal of pavement (3761 SY), removal of sidewalk (389 SY), excavation (1033 CY), new 9" PCC pavement (2774 SY) with 12" of modified sub-base (1033 CY). This also includes other associated work, driveway removal and replacement, ADA ramps at 6 street corners, adjusting a few manholes and installation of approximately 1100 LF of sub-drain. In addition to reconstructing the 700 block of So. 4 th St., we will also be milling and overlaying the intersection of So. 4 th St. and 7 th Ave. So.; this 670 SY area will require nearly 100 tons of HMA at 2.5" installed in two lifts. This is also an opportunity to separate four manholes from the storm sewer system, four new intakes will be installed, along with 200 LF of 15" Reinforced Concrete Pipe. In order to better suit the use of these two blocks, each roadway will be reduced by one lane of travel, So. 4 th St. will become a three lane road, while So. 3 rd St. will be a two lane road with a parking lane. Subsequently by reducing one lane of traffic on So. 3 rd St., we will be closing the merge lane of traffic from 8 th Ave. So. (not the bridge). Upon completion, each block will require new pavement markings. Because these are highways, the work must be completed while the roads remain open, half of the road will need to be removed and constructed at a time. Bids will be considered by the City of Clinton City Council at its' meeting in Council Chambers in City Hall, 611 South 3 rd Street, Clinton, Iowa on the 22 nd day of March, 2022.
