Resurfacing is the process of placing an asphalt overlay on a roadway, whether or not it has been milled. The combination of milling and resurfacing will provide solution to the existing pavement condition improvement for comfort, safety, slope, and to enhance roadway functionality. The detail scope for the project is outlined in the attached RFP.
