STAFF REPORT
To: Mayor and Members of the City Council
Attention: Keith R. Till, City Manager
From: Stephen G. Badum, Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: FY 98-99 CITY WIDE STREET SEALING PROJECT - 674
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The proposed City Council action will approve the plans and specifications, and
authorize Staff to initiate the bidding process so that a contract may be awarded
in June for a construction project to seal various streets throughout the City.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed project will seal various street pavements within the City. Sealing
extends the effective life of asphalt concrete pavements by placing a protective
seal over existing pavement surfaces that are just beginning to show signs of
wear. It can also be applied to streets in average condition to slow the
deterioration before a maintenance overlay can be performed, but it will not stop
reflective cracking. Due to last yea's high bid prices, both programs haven been
combined and staff has checked with local contractors for price fluctuations.
Slurry seal requires that the street be closed to traffic for the entire day until it
properly cures. The residents are notified 48 hours in advance and no-parking
signs are placed along the street. Some times tire tracks or gouges can appear
because of wheel turn movements. While this will affect only the appearance of
the streets and many times is unavoidable, much of this will disappear with time
and traffic.
Sealing allows the City to stretch pavement rehabilitation funds and maintain a
higher level of pavement quality. For every dollar spent maintaining existing roads
the City can save 4-5 dollars to prevent more costly overlays and re-constructions. Staff
has completed the plans and specifications. Upon the successful bidding process
and award of a contract, the project will be completed in July/August.
