This project is nearing completion with only punchlist items remaining.

Wednesday, October 19, 2011

The landscaping contractor is working to complete the landscaping this week (weather permitting). The asphalt contractor (Peter Baker) has completed the restoration of asphalt driveways. Upon completion of the landscaping, only punch list work remains for this project.

Friday, October 14, 2011

The landscaping contractor will be continuing landscaping next week. Additionally, the asphalt contractor will be completing asphalt driveways next week.

As a reminder, it is the Village of Glenview’s policy to only replace asphalt or concrete driveways. The residents are responsible for the replacement any other types of driveways, including brick, stamped or exposed aggregate concrete, colored gravel and others. Our contractors do not have the expertise or materials to repair all of the different kinds of other driveway. If you don’t mind not having the bricks replaced we could place asphalt in the area where the bricks were removed. If you wish to have the asphalt placed instead of the bricks please notify Robert Steele, Capital Projects Department, as soon as possible by phone at (847) 486-5636, or email, rsteele@glenview.il.us.

Thank you for your patience during this project. Feel free to contact the Capital Projects Department at (847) 486-5636 if you have any questions or concerns.

Berger Excavating is also looking to place topsoil in preparation for sodding next week.

Friday, September 30, 2011

Next week Berger Excavating will continue to remove debris from the site, grade the parkways and place topsoil, in preparation for sod. When restoration work is complete the final layer of asphalt will be placed and driveways restored to complete the project.

If you don’t mind not having the bricks replaced we could place asphalt in the area where the bricks were removed. We have done this for some residents on other past projects and it seems to work well. If not, then I suggest waiting until street paving is complete before you have the bricks replaced. That way the bricks will match the road elevation. If you wish to have the asphalt placed instead of the bricks please notify Robert Steele, Capital Projects Department, as soon as possible by phone at (847) 486-5636, or email, rsteele@glenview.il.us.
