The scope requires milling approximately 4 inches of existing asphalt from the approximately 37,700-square-foot parking lot, preparing the base with proper slope for drainage, applying a tack coat, repaving with 4 inches of bituminous asphalt, pouring a 10-foot concrete approach on the south parking area, and restriping the lot.

During periods of excessive state unemployment (any month following two consecutive months when state unemployment exceeds 5%), the vendor must employ at least 90% Illinois laborers on the project, with exception available upon written request with supporting documentation.
