SUBJECT: Paving Estimate 
I am presenting this information based upon the email you forwarded to me from Councilman Sherlin who 
requested estimated costs for paving various streets. This information has been compiled using the 
Opinion of Probable Cost {OPC) provided by Gresham Smith for the nine streets included as part of the 
STBG-L project. Two distinct unit costs were taken from the estimate with one being for streets with curb 
and gutter while others have open ditches. The numbers do not include the two blocks on Jackson and 
White which are being paved with the state project for purposes of re-striping the parking. 
Except for the two sections from which the unit costs were taken, these numbers were adjusted to 
account for differences in roadway length and width, plus a 15% contingency was added to these sections 
to account for the striping which will be required as well as adjustments to sidewalk ramps along the 
paved sections. For the estimated sections, there is no allocation included to address base failures, 
stormwater infrastructure repair, unsuitable soils, etc. The proposal is a standard mill and overlay except 
for the section of Dennis Street between Decatur and Congress. 
The estimated streets are as follows: 
• White Street from Green to Jackson - $229,275
• Jackson Street from Cook to Green - $363,725
• Jackson Street Green to Wayne with Curb and Gutter - $189,750
• Jackson Street Wayne to New Englewood with Open Ditches -$83,750
• Dennis Street from Congress to Madison - $319,500
The streets which are included in the STBG-L and thus have the OPC are as follows: 
• Dennis Street from Decatur to Congress - $714,250
• Mt Verd Road (All sections withing city limits) - $62,000
