AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for 201 1
Streets Crack Sealing Contract
MEETING DATE: March 2, 2011
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for
bids for 2011 streets crack sealing contract.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of crack sealing approximately 1,500,000
square feet of various City streets. The primary cause of asphalt
failure is water infiltration into the street subgrade. Crack sealing is
one of the most cost-effective preventative maintenance
practices, but the work can only be performed during the warm summer months. In an effortto seal as
much street area as possible over this short timeframe, this work will supplement crack sealing
performed by City crews.
The plans and specifications are on file in the Municipal Service Center of the Public Works Department.
The planned bid opening date is March 16, 2011, and $50,000 has already been allocated in the 2010/11
budget.
FISCAL IMPACT: By increasing the crack sealing effort, the useful life of the City streets will be
extended.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: This project will be paid for by Measure K Maintenance funds budgeted for
FY 2010/11.
Project Estimate: $50,000
