under 3.5-inches of new bituminous pavement. Because the total pavement section is gaining thickness, approximately 2-inches of underlying sand base material must be hauled off site. The new concrete curb and gutter is proposed to match the elevation and location of the existing curb and gutter as close as practical. Since driveway locations are known, curb cuts will be added. Driveways and boulevards will be impacted, typically 6 to 8 feet behind the curb and gutter. In some areas, driveway match -ins must go further than 8 feet back. However, all work is proposed to occur within the right-of-way. Restoration of the impacted boulevards will include a minimum of 4-inches of topsoil and hydroseed with a residential turf seed mix. Municipal utilities exist throughout the project area. Repairs to pipes are not proposed with this project. All castings and valve boxes within the pavement and curb will need to be adjusted to match the new bituminous pavement elevation.
