Background/Discussion
State Orchard Road is in need of reconstruction. The project extends approximately 2,500 feet in length, from Eastern Hills Drive to Steven Road. The existing street segment is a 22-foot wide rural section located within a 66-foot right-of-way. State Orchard Road pavement is in poor condition with no shoulders and open ditches for drainage. There are no pedestrian pathways.
The project will construct a new curbed concrete roadway with storm sewer and a trail on one side of the roadway. Completing this segment of State Orchard Road will provide an improved roadway and trail connection from Eastern Hills Drive to Steven Road.
This project was included in the FY25 CIP and includes a budget of $3,000,000 in Local Option Sales Tax funds.
HGM Associates Inc. was selected as the most qualified to perform the work for this project. They previously provided engineering services for the construction of Eastern Hills Drive and have a clear understanding of this project. The proposed team is well qualified to successfully complete this challenging project.
