The contract for the rehabilitation of 2.6 miles of Road (CR 45) will include preliminary design, detailed design, final design, and bid assistance. A single design phase is anticipated, however two-phase construction may be needed for this project. Road from Hopkins Road to New Road is an urban major collector and from New Road to Transit Road is an urban local roadway. This part of Road varies between a 2- and 3-lane roadway with shoulders. The project is expected to include a two-course mill and overlay of the existing roadway, complete replacement of the existing closed drainage system, curb, curb/gutter, green space snow storage, and replacement of ADA curb ramps to meet ADA and PROWAG guidance, as necessary. This scope is to be extended along Casey Road for approximately 1500 feet thus completing the previous project. Additional project elements include widening to add shoulders for approximately 1600 LF on the approaches to the North French Road (CR 299) intersection and 300 LF on the approach to the Transit Road intersection. Road from Hopkins Road to Casey Road is on the GBNRTC Regional Bicycle Master, this also includes that portion of Casey discussed above. A traffic analysis at the intersection of North French and is to be completed, specifically to address the left-hand turn lanes and widening for shoulders. The design of the drainage system must accommodate the 25-year storm per the Erie County Highway Design Manual. Utility pole relocations may be required from Hopkins Road to Casey Road and in the vicinity of the shoulder widening areas. The existing Right of Way on Road is generally 66 feet wide. Casey road right of way varies. The highway boundary for the project needs to be established through survey. The Consultant will prepare a bid package.
