There will <br />be a public hearing and an assessment hearing, at which the City Council will take <br />testimony from the public and will make determinations at the close of those <br />hearings whether or not to proceed. Once the assessment roll has been adopted, <br />the contract can be considered for award. At that point, the project is a certainty. <br /> <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />Q: Who is responsible for sidewalk maintenance? <br /> <br />A:. The residents who end up with sidewalks in front of their homes would be <br />responsible for snow removal. The City would be responsible for repair of any <br />damaged sidewalk. <br /> <br />Q: I have a sprinkler system in myyard. Who is responsible for moving and! or <br />relocating it? . <br /> <br />A:. We will have many opportunities for you to let us know where your sprinkler system <br />is. It will be up to the homeowner to either remove the heads or locate the heads so <br />that the contractor can remove them. We will have the contractor do that with due <br />care. . We will not salvage the plastic pipe between the heads. .After the project is <br />complete, you will be asked to get a quote from your sprinkler company for the _ <br />repair of the sprinkler system. The City will reserve the right to review the quote <br />prior to authorizing payment. We will either pay the sprinkler company directly <br />based on an approved quote, or we will reimburse the homeowners if they paid the <br />sprinkler company. . . <br /> <br />Q: Why has it taken 18 years for rehabilitation of the roads in Deerfield? <br /> <br />A:. The City initiated a pavement rehabilitation program in the early 2000's. In the odd <br />numbered years, we do construction projects. There are certainly more needs for <br />construction in the City than there are monies available. We are slowly getting to <br />some of the worse streets in the City for reconstruction. <br /> <br />Q: Are .there issues of tree removal within the right of way? <br /> <br />A:. There will be a few trees in the right of way that likely will need to be removed, <br />especially if sidewalk is added. City policy would not replace trees that are removed <br />from within the right of way; however, the removal of the tree would be a cost to <br />the project. <br /> <br />Q: What is the life expectancy of the road? <br /> <br />A:. The road certainly will not be reconstructed in anyone's lifetime within this <br />audience; however, during the life of the road there will be sealcoats applied and at <br />appropriate points, maybe 20 years out, the surface would need to be milled and <br />overlaid to rejuvenate it. <br /> <br />Q: What if someone wants to have their driveway replaced? <br /> <br />A:. Whenever we get a bid from a contractor, we always ask if they are interested in <br />doing private driveways. Some contractors are, some are not. If the low bidder on <br />this project is interested in doing driveway work, we will notify the public through a <br />newsletter. If you are interested in getting a quote, our inspector will work with you <br />
