Ferndale Pavement Improvement Program 2016-2025

Overview

In 2015, Giffels Webster prepared a comprehensive $45 million budget estimate to assist the City in passing a ten-year street paving bond initiative. The bond funds resurfacing and concrete repairs for all 65 miles of local streets. Giffels Webster continues to provide land surveying, design engineering, contract administration, construction inspection, and GIS services for the program. The City is currently in the ninth year of the program, completing approximately six and a half miles of repairs each year under an average annual budget of $4 million.

Problem

The City needed voter support for a long-term paving bond and a clear plan to address aging local streets. Limited annual funding required careful prioritization to complete roadway repairs consistently each year.

Solution

Giffels Webster developed a detailed budget estimate, performs biannual PASER condition assessments, and designs cost effective repair solutions. Ongoing construction inspection and coordination help ensure quality materials and practices are used throughout the program.
