Recently the City Manager’s office was contacted by Dennis Withers, CEO of Trinity Forge located on Trinity Drive in the Mansfield Industrial Park to express his concern over the condition of that road and request that something be done to improve it. 5th Avenue and Easy Drive are equally in need of improvement. The City Engineer and Director Public Works recommend full depth asphalt reconstruction. This process involves removing and remixing the existing asphalt material, using it as the 8 inch base material and putting a 6 inch layer of new asphalt on top of it. The streets will be the same quality as 2nd Avenue and should last for at least ten years, depending on traffic volumes. The work will be performed using City of Mansfield labor.The estimated cost to reconstruct all three streets as depicted on the attached aerial is $675,000. The cost per square foot is $3.44.The individual breakdown of costs is as follows :
