AGENDA TITLE: Approve Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for 800 Tons of
Asphalt Materials for Fiscal Year 2012/13
MEETING DATE: May 2,2012
PREPARED BY: PublicWorks Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve specifications and authorize advertisement for bids for 800
tons of asphalt materials for Fiscal Year 2012/13.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The asphalt materials purchase is needed to carry out preventative
street maintenance and repairs. In the past few years, due to budget
shortfalls, the street maintenance program did not include a thin
overlay program but only purchased materials needed for localized repairs.
This year, the Streets and Drainage Division plans to increase its focus on street pavement maintenance.
The amount of asphalt requested for Fiscal Year 2012113 is an increase over prior years (500 tons to
800 tons) to accommodate localized repair needs and includes a thin overlay program. Additionally, the
purchase of cold patch material, traditionally purchased on an as -needed basis, has been included.
Including this material in the contract will stabilize costs and allow for better tracking of material use. The
proposed conract will include an optional cost for delivery, if needed.
The specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The project estimate is $50,000. The
planned bid opening date is May 23, 2012.
FISCAL IMPACT: Preventative maintenancewilt extendthe useful life of our streets and
reduce future street reconstruction costs.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Fundingfor this projectwilt be specified at the time of contract award.
