AGENDA TITLE: Approve Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for 2014/15 Asphalt
Materials
MEETING DATE: May 7, 2014
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve specifications and authorize advertisement for bids
2014/15 asphalt materials.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The asphalt materials purchase is needed to carry out preventive
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.
The amount of asphalt requested for Fiscal Year 2014/15 (1,100 tons) will be an increase from the
previous year to accommodate localized repair, thin overlays, and asphalt sidewalk patching needs.
The specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The project estimate is $90,000. The
planned bid opening date is May 28, 2014.
FISCAL IMPACT: Preventive maintenance will extend the useful life of our streets and reduce
future street reconstruction costs.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be identified at contract award.
