DISCUSSION
The current Pavement Management Plan recommends resealing 16 kilometers of street each year in
order to prevent deteriorationof pavement condition. Public Works was able to maintain that level
of resealing until 1992-93. From 1993-94 to 1996-97,the budget for resealing work was reduced
and remained constant at$170,000 per year. This budget amount paid for 45.8 kilometers of
resealing work from 1993-94 to 1996-97—an average of 11.5 kilometers per year. A one-time
transfer of$119,000 from the CIP paid for another 7.0 kilometers of work.
To bring the level of resealing work back up to the recommended 16 kilometers per year,in the
1997-99 Financial Plan the Council raised the annual budget for this purpose from$170,000 to
$270,000.
CONCURRENCES
The Community DevelopmentDirector has granted this project a Notice of Environmental
Exemption.
FISCAL IMPACT
Amount budgeted $270,000
Engineer's estimate $270,000
The base contract quantities were tailored to the budget available and should cover resealing of
about 16 street kilometers. Consequently,the engineer's estimate is very close to the budget
available. If unit prices are higher or lower than expected,the contract amounts will be raised or
lowered accordingly. There are two additive alternates: one to reseal paved areas at the
Corporation Yard and the other to reseal additional streets. These will be included if the amount
budgeted will allow.
Plans and specificationsare available for review in the City Clerk's office.
