BACKGROUND: Slurry seals extend the effective life of asphalt concrete pavements by placing a protective seal over existing pavement surface that are just beginning to show signs of wear. For budget purposes, the City is divided into seven grids that provide a planning and programming mechanism to optimize the budget. Grids one through seven are as follows: Grid No. Location Fiscal Year 1 College Park West 06/07 2&3 College Park East 06/07 & 07/08 4&5 Bridgeport and Old Town 08/09 & 09/10 6 & 7 The Hill 10/11 & 11/12 By strategically utilizing the programming grid system, the city saves on construction cost by having the contractor concentrate in one area of the city. The contractor does not have to mobilize his equipment from one area to the next. As identified in the Pavement Management System, this project will slurry seal grid number four in Bridgeport. See attached plan. The plans and specifications have been completed and approved by the City Engineer and staff is ready to Agenda Item P Page 2 solicit bids.
