Sealing treatments to be used may include: slurry seal; microsurfacing; scrub seal; and asphalt rubber cape seal.

The two years are being combined into one project because the bids received for the Asphalt Rubber Street Sealing 2011-12 project were too high and were rejected by the City Council.
All street segments associated with this project are scheduled to receive an application of asphalt rubber chip seal in combination with other street sealing treatments. Asphalt rubber cape seal ...
