Council approves $9,000 contract for subsurface testing on Green Grove Lane resurfacing
Summary
The council approved a $9,000 professional services contract with TTL for subsurface exploration on Green Grove Lane after paving crews observed rapid cracking; the testing will inform whether reconstruction or repair is required.
The governing body approved a $9,000 professional services contract with TTL to perform subsurface exploration on Green Grove Lane as part of the citywide resurfacing project. The work aims to diagnose unexpected cracking and determine whether repairs or full reconstruction are necessary.
Staff said crews observed the pavement cracking during resurfacing and believe poor or wet subsoil is contributing to the failures. “We were waiting as long as we could to get it as dry as possible. So now we're gonna do some testing to make sure that what we're going in and putting in is actually gonna last,” a staff presenter said. A contractor on site reportedly told staff the condition was unusual despite the contractor’s long experience.
The subsurface testing will provide data to inform whether the city should fully reconstruct the street or perform targeted repairs. Staff said they had notification efforts—door hangers—so residents knew the work status. The council approved the TTL contract during the meeting.
