Staffreport
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends acceptance of the work by Intermountain Slurry Seal, Inc., filing of the Notice of Completion, release of the performance and payment bonds, and release of the maintenance bond upon completion of the one-year maintenance period.
BACKGROUND
Street sealing is an annual maintenance activity that can prolong the useful life of streets. 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 its pavement condition.
Additionally, the City was awarded a grant from CalRecycle for the use of recycled crumb rubber chips in the rubberized chip seal process providing a savings to the City of $1.00 per square yard on treated roadway. This grant allowed the City to divert more than 8,100 waste tires from State landfills.
Project streets were selected with priority given to arterial streets and by assigning treatments to streets that are suitable for street sealing starting with those with the lowest pavement condition index within the annual pavement maintenance area.
