AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contractfor 2011 Streets Crack Sealing Project
MEETING DATE: September 7, 2011
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept improvements under contract for 2011 streets crack sealing
project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On April 6, 2011, City Council awarded the contract for the 2011
streets crack sealing project to American Asphalt Repair and
Resurfacing Company, of Hayward, in the amount of $42,788.13.
The contract has been completed in substantial conformancewith
the plans and specifications approved by City Council on February 16, 2011.
This project consisted 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 for the City's roadway system, but the work can
only be performed during the warm summer months. In an effort to seal as much street area as possible
over this short timeframe, this work was intended to supplement crack sealing performed by City crews.
There were no change orders and the final cost of the projectwas $42,788.13.
Following acceptance by the City Council, as required by law, the City Engineerwill file a Notice of
Completion with the County Recorder's office. The notice serves to inform vendors and subcontractors
that the project is complete and to initiate the 30 -day period to file a stop notice requiring the City to
withhold payments from the prime contractor in the event of a payment dispute.
FISCAL IMPACT: By increasing the City's crack sealing effort, the useful life of the City
streets will be extended.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: This project utiiized Measure K Maintenance Funds (325028).
