Staffreport
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the work and authorize the City Manager to file the Notice of Completion, release the performance and payment bonds and release the maintenance bond upon successful completion of the one-year maintenance period.
BACKGROUND
Street sealing is an annual maintenance activity that can prolong the useful life of pavement. The treatments associated with this project include slurry sealing, asphalt rubber chip sealing, and micro-surfacing.

The particular process is individually selected for each street based on the pavement condition.
The City was awarded a grant from CalRecycle for the use of crumb rubber chips in the rubberized chip seal process and will be reimbursed at a rate of $1.00 per square yard of roadway where that process was applied on this project. The City will be reimbursed $66,255 from the grant for this year's project.
Each year work is performed in one of our four maintenance areas. This year streets within maintenance area 4, on the west side of San Leandro, were evaluated for work. Priority was given to arterial streets and those with the lowest pavement condition index that had not deteriorated to the point that replacement was required.
Analysis
