Woodland Hills schedules pavement preservation; council eyes low‑rate State Infrastructure Bank loan
Summary
Preconstruction begins this month and full grinding and asphalt work is scheduled the week of Aug. 3; council reviewed three bids for a $1.4M project and staff applied to UDOT’s State Infrastructure Bank as a lower‑interest financing option, with a funding decision expected in August.
Woodland Hills public works and the fire chief updated council July 14 on a pavement preservation project that will be carried out in three segments and is expected to run about six weeks once construction begins.
"They'll start grinding pavement and grading and then putting down the new asphalt for the street," the fire chief reported, describing the contractor’s sequence: lower manholes and valve boxes, grind and grade, then pave — about a week and a half to two weeks per segment.
Staff said they had solicited bank proposals for approximately $1.4 million and received three responses. Council learned the State Infrastructure Bank operated by UDOT may offer half‑to‑one percentage point lower rates; staff submitted an application and expects the Infrastructure Bank board to decide in August. If the Infrastructure Bank does not fund the project, staff will take the lowest of the three bids previously received.
Public works emphasized resident notification plans: door hangers, a project map for social media and a new notification platform that can target addresses by map area. Work will affect Woodland Hills Drive and several upper‑city streets but is designed to minimize disruption on main travel routes.
Council also discussed related water funding: the city’s SRF application has not yet been filed; a previous grant request to a separate sponsor asked for $2.9 million split into phases, and staff said the city currently ranks fourth on a list for potential state funding.
