Jankowsk~, City Engineer i Background: Previous to this gase, public hearings will have been held on Improvement Project Nos. 95-01 through 95-10, ~Fhich will comprise the 1995 Annual Street Maintenance Program. The City performed its fi.~t sealcoating work in 1981 and has had an annual program for addressing the routine maintena~lc.~ need~ of its paved streets since 1984. The City has a considerable investment in the 123 miles ~}f paved roadway for which it is responsible. It is estimated, the replacement cost for this pavemen~t, excluding curb, gutter, drainage, and tuff restoration, approaches $I0 million. To protect the ~lnvestment in its bituminous pavement, the City has set a goal to address comprehensive ~rfiaintenance needs on a five to seven year interval. Initially, the Ci~s program consimd entirely of sealcoating streets. With the advancing age of the City's pavementS, the scope of this work has been expanded to include crack filling and minor patching prior tO sealcoating. Pavements with weaker subsoils and advanced age are now beginning to need to be overlayed, a more expensive maintenance operation. A history of the ~nnual Street Maintenance Cost is attached. The program will consist both of crack filling and~ealcoating 7.14 miles of roadway and overlaying an additional 4.33 miles of City streets. The cona~truction cost is anticipated as follows: S ~ealcoating 51,147 Cfack Filling 12,500 Or.' erlays 133,733 i . The addition of~mtnor preparatory work by the City's Public Works Department and project overhead of 22 p~cent brings the total cost for the 1995 program to $243,163. The City has had a policy of assessi~ig 50 percent of this cost to benefitted parties. Council Action: Following the p¢blic hearing, the Council should direct any revisions to the feasibility study it deems necessary~ as a result of the comments made at the public hearing, as the feasibility study will serve as thcibasis for determining thc work to be performed and thc method in which costs will be assessed, l Reviewed by: City Engineer City Administrator Finance Officer CC: 0~14D5 /ccr /'-/7
