AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for 2012
Streets Crack Sealing Contract
MEETING DATE: March 21, 2012
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for
bids for 2012 streets crack sealing contract.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of crack sealing approximately 2,300,000
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 basic and important preventative maintenance practices, but the work can only be
performed during the warm summer months. In an effort to maximize the street area sealed during the
summer months, this maintenance program will be contracted out. This is an increase in work from the
budgeted amount allocated in the 2011/12 budget.
The plans and specifications are on file in the Municipal Service Center of the Public Works Department.
The planned bid opening date is April 11, 2012. The project estimate is $100,000.
FISCAL IMPACT: By increasing the crack sealing effort, the useful life of the City streets will be
extended.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: The money for this project will be coming from the Measure K Maintenance
Fund.
