Almond Grove Phase II, Town of Los Gatos
The Town of Los Gatos commissioned Wilsey Ham to reconstruct residential streets in their historic Almond Grove neighborhood. One of the primary goals of the project was to preserve the historic character of the neighborhood. As a result, the existing concrete streets were reconstructed using jointed plain concrete paving and only those portions of the existing sidewalks that were out of ADA compliance were replaced. The project included a thorough potholing program in order to understand existing utility depths. The project team then worked with utility providers to lower utilities where there was a risk of damage during roadway construction. This avoided any potential delays and disruption to residents during roadway construction. A complete bid package was prepared and the project came in under budget and on schedule.
Project:
- 11,000 linear feet
- Reconstruct eight residential streets

- Design Services
- Prepare Plans
