HomeMy WebLinkAbout05-17-2016 Item 18 Roadway Sealing 2016 Meeting Date: 5/17/2016 FROM: Daryl Grigsby, Public Works Director Prepared By: David Athey, Supervising Civil Engineer SUBJECT: ROADWAY SEALING 2016, SPECIFICATION NO. 91311 RECOMMENDATION 1. Approve plans and specifications for the Roadway Sealing 2016 Project, Specification No. 91311; and 2. Authorize staff to advertise for bids and authorize the City Manager to award the contract if the lowest responsible bid is within the Engineer’s Estimate of $1,199,705. DISCUSSION Background The City’s Pavement Maintenance Plan (Pavement Plan) was adopted by the City Council on April 14, 1998. The Pavement Plan was updated to provide additional emphasis on arterial street maintenance in 2009. A key Pavement Plan element is the establishment of a rotating and methodical pavement maintenance approach. This ensures that entire City road system receives regular preventative or corrective maintenance on a regular basis. Last summer, available street maintenance funding from the City’s Local Revenue Measure was used for arterial maintenance efforts on Johnson Avenue and Osos Street. Funding was not used for annual neighborhood street sealing last year in accordance with Council’s direction. This year, the program funding will be used to seal neighborhood pavement maintenance Areas 1 and 8 (Attachment A). The intent of this project is to prevent more expensive maintenance work in the future. Preventative and ongoing maintenance is less costly and more environmentally beneficial than street re-paving. Ongoing neighborhood street maintenance also enables the City to make progress on the Council’s established goal to maintain at least 70% of local streets in good condition and less than 7% in bad condition. In anticipation of this year’s roadway sealing project, the City’s Street Maintenance crew has performed pavement repairs and crack sealing in pavement maintenance Areas 1 and 8. This preparatory work increases the slurry seal application’s long-term effectiveness and reduces overall construction costs. Slurry seal is a mixture of asphalt emulsion, aggregates and water. The quality of the seal is very much dependent on the quality of its materials. In the past, the City has used potable water from fire hydrants. Recently, however, the City started using reclaimed water since it does not have an effect on the slurry emulsion, it is more environmentally beneficial, and most importantly, 18 Packet Pg. 361 saves drinking water for potable uses. The City has saved tens of thousands of gallons since switching to recycled water. CONCURRENCES This project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301 (Existing Facilities) since it is a maintenance and replacement project and a Notice of Exemption has been filed through the Community Development Department. FISCAL IMPACT There is currently $499,665 in the Street Reconstruction & Resurfacing Master Account; however, several significant repairs are planned for completion on the arterial system through the existing Job Order Contract. In addition, minor funding augmentation is required to support required ramp construction work associated with Area 1 and 8. At this time it anticipated that $300,000 will be available to support this and the 2016 CDBG 2016 Curb Ramps Project. In addition, staff is recommending using $30,000 of Bicycle Facility Improvement funds to pay for implementation of bicycle related striping. With the approval of the 2016-2017 Budget Supplement, an additional $1,510,700 in construction funds will be available on July 1, 2016, bringing the total funding available to $1,792,700 to support this request of $1,454,661. This project will not be awarded until after July 1, 2016. A recommendation to award this project will not be made until Council approves the 2016-17 Financial Plan Supplement. These projects are 100% funded through the Local Revenue Measure, the half-cent revenue enhancement measure approved by the City’s residents. 18 Packet Pg. 362 Street R& R Master Account (90346) Bicycle Facility Impr.

ALTERNATIVES Deny authorization to advertise. The City Council may choose not to authorize project advertisement. This is not recommended since summer is the best time to seal streets. School is out and neighborhood traffic volume is lower.
