5.01: Consider Recommending City Council Approving Plans and Specifications and Authorizing Advertisement for Bids for Sunwood Drive and Waco Street Reconstruction, Improvement Project #22-01 Civil Engineer II Feriancek reviewed the staff report and recommendation of staff to recommend City Council approval of plans and specifications and authorizing advertisement for bids for Sunwood Drive and Waco Street Reconstruction, Improvement Project #22-01. Chairperson Riley asked if the curb would be sprayed white during this project. Civil Engineer 11 Feriancek replied that is not planned for this project. He noted that although that had been done in a previous project it is not recommended for this project. City Engineer Westby replied that spraying existing curb with white curing compound is done for aesthetic purposes only, though it is needed for new curb and gutter to cure to full strength. He stated that curb repairs can be sprayed with a clear curing compound to avoid a situation where the new section stands out in white. He noted that the white curing compound does fade within several years and has additional cost. Chairperson Riley acknowledged that it would depend upon the number of curb sections being replaced. He commented that he is not wanting to spend extra money or waste money but noted a past project where almost every other section was repaired, and the new white sections stood out. Civil Engineer 11 Feriancek confirmed that this project has minimal spot repairs. Councilmember Musgrove commented that she is not in favor of painting the curbs and asked if perhaps information on the curing and fading could be included in information sent to residents. City Engineer Westby noted that on March 22nd, the City would place these cases on the consent agenda noting the recommendation of the Committee for approval, should that be the action tonight, in order to advertise for bids. He stated that when the bids come back, the projects would then appear on the regular agenda. He confirmed the consensus of the Committee with that process. Motion by Councilmember Musgrove, seconded by Councilmember Woestehoff, to recommend City Council approval of plans and specifications and authorizing advertisement for bids for Sunwood Drive and Waco Street Reconstruction, Improvement Project #22-01 to be presented on the consent agenda at the next Council meeting. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Riley, Councilmembers Musgrove and Woestehoff. Voting No: None. 5.02: Consider Recommending City Council Approving Plans and Specifications and Authorizing Advertisement for Bids for 2022 Neighborhood Pavement Overlay Improvements, Improvement Project #22-04 Public Works Committee / March 15, 2022 Page 2 of 9
