Mokena commercial properties may combine newer development areas, utility work and existing pavement that needs rehabilitation. The scope should define where new pavement construction ends and restoration or repair of existing surfaces begins.
New-work versus rehabilitation boundaries
New construction requires a complete section and grading plan; rehabilitation begins with the condition of what remains. Do not let a single paving quantity hide different base preparation, tie-ins and performance expectations.
Plan the work around the operating property
Sequence underground, curb and drainage work before final asphalt. Protect completed areas from construction traffic and state who is responsible for damaged tie-ins or utility restoration.
Questions the Mokena scope should answer
- Separate new pavement, restoration and rehabilitation quantities.
- Confirm subgrade, base and lift assumptions for new work.
- Map utility and drainage interfaces.
- Define tie-ins to existing pavement and walks.
- Control construction traffic over completed surfaces.

Confirm the project jurisdiction before construction
The property address and exact work determine whether municipal, county, accessibility, drainage, right-of-way or other review applies. Do not assume that calling work “maintenance” settles the permit question. Start with Will County government, then confirm the current project-specific path with the municipality or authority having jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should a commercial paving proposal in Mokena define?
It should define existing-condition findings, treatment boundaries, depth and material assumptions, access, closures, temporary routes, connected drainage or concrete work, final markings, exclusions and reopening conditions.
Can the property remain open during the work?
That depends on entrances, available staging, deliveries, emergency and accessible routes, curing or cooling time and the amount of pavement that can close safely. The proposal should include a site-specific phase plan rather than a generic promise.
