AGENDA ITEM
Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
May 12, 2009
SUBJECT: 2009 Micro - Surfacing Project York Road (north Village limits — Dover Dr)
Authorization for Night Work
FROM: Dale L. Durfey, Jr., P.E., Village Engineer
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: N/A
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move that the Village Board adopt the attached resolution
granting approval for night work during the hours of 6:00 PM
to 7:00 AM along York Road for the 2009 Micro - Surfacing
Proj ect.
Backl4round/History:
The 2009 Micro - Surfacing Project is on York Road between the north Village limits and just
south of Dover Drive which is a major arterial roadway with high traffic volumes. The project
will close one lane at a time in each direction as the material is applied and cures (several hours).
Staff recommends that the project be accomplished at night during the hours of 6:00 PM to 7:00
AM for the following reasons: '
1. Quality: Most of the fresh micro - surfacing material will be protected by temporarily
closing lanes which typically requires a few hours. Night work would have less traffic
over the fresh material to and from driveways and intersections and should also allow
more continuous operations resulting in less undesirable joints.
2. Safety: Night work is a much safer operation due to significantly less traffic. Most of
York Road is ideal for night work due to its street lighting. The contractor can provide
additional lighting for other parts of York Road that do not have street lights.

3. Transportation: Although two -way traffic will always be maintained, night work will
minimize temporary traffic disruptions that may result from construction vehicles
crossing traffic to supply the micro - surfacing machine and from closing lanes.
4. Efficiency: Since York Road is an arterial street, the Public Works Construction
Standards prohibits non - emergency work from occurring during the peak traffic hours of
7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday unless special
circumstances exist. The contractor, therefore, cannot begin setting up traffic control
until 9:00 AM which could take about an hour. Similarly, the contractor would have to
begin removing traffic control about an hour before 4:30 PM. This leaves the contractor
with only a maximum of 5 Y2 hours to perform work.
Staff estimates that the work should be done in about a week and should proceed continuously
and relatively quietly compared to typical night traffic along York Road.
Section 6 -1 -2 of the Village Code of Ordinances permits the use of "heavy equipment" in
residential areas only between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM Monday through Friday and between 8:00
AM and 5:00 PM on Saturdays and Sundays. It also permits the use of "heavy equipment" in
commercial areas only between 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM for the entire week.
Section 6 -1 -2 states the Board of Trustees may waive the above limitations by resolution for
work undertaken by any public body for the benefit of the public. Per the same section, the
Village Manager may waive the above limitations only for areas zoned for nonresidential uses.
Since the York Woods and Woodside Estates (neighborhoods adjacent to the project) are zoned
residential, the waiver can only be made by the Village Board.
Recommendation:
I recommend authorizing night work for the 2009 Micro - Surfacing Project.
