How much dues the University spend on road repairs annually? Are there any future plans for the repair of sidewalks and/or roadways beyond crack filler?
We seek funding every year and address the issues when they come to light each year. This would be the same for our asphalt streets. Our civil engineers identify areas of our streets that need paving. Based on the need and the funds available, Purdue can spend anywhere from $50K to $200K in street paving each year. Plus, INDOT spends about $50K worth of paving each year on campus. All this work is performed by an outside contractor. In addition, the Grounds Dept. spends in the neighborhood of $30K to $40K in hot and cold mix repairs annually. These repairs are relatively small in nature due to the fact we do not have the big paving equipment.
