Body
BACKGROUND: The City of Norman funds a portion of its annual asphalt street repairs through the City's Capital Improvement Program Budget. Other asphalt street repairs are also conducted in Norman using funds from the Street Maintenance Bond Program and the City's General Fund. Locations are chosen using the City's Pavement Management System (PMS) and visual inspections. Repairs are made by both City of Norman employees and qualified paving contractors.

Bid specifications and documents were advertised on March 7, 2019 and March 14, 2019.
DISCUSSION: The project involves full-depth repairs to all streets as needed, followed by a 2 inch mill and inlay of new asphalt pavement. All locations will also have pavement markings reapplied upon completion of the paving if pavement markings existed beforehand.

The locations included in this project are:
Rock Creek Road; 48th Avenue NW - 72nd Avenue NW (2018; project SC0602)
Whispering Hills North Additi...
