CC Regular Session 5.8. Meeting Date: 04/ 11 /2023 Submitted For: Joe Feriancek, Engineering/Public Works By: Joe Feriancek, Engineering/Public Works Information Title Adopt Resolution #23-071 Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract for 2023 Crack Seal Improvements, Improvement Project #23-08 Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #23-071 Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract for 2023 Crack Seal Improvements, Improvement Project #23-08. Background: Crack seal improvements are completed annually, on between 10 and 23 miles of public street segments to cost-effectively maximize the life of the bituminous pavement. Crack sealing protects pavement by preventing stormwater runoff from seeping through cracks in the pavement and joints between the pavement and concrete curb and gutter and utility castings, reducing future pavement damage due to wet subgrade soils, especially during freeze -thaw cycles. The City's current pavement maintenance schedule calls for public streets to be crack sealed the third, seventh, and fourteenth year following construction, reconstruction, and overlay improvements. However, while this is the typical maintenance schedule it is important to note that Staff reviews the condition of all streets annually and adjusts the schedule of maintenance operations based on actual pavement conditions. A total of 18.36 miles of public street segments is proposed to receive crack seal improvements in 2023. These street segments were selected based on age, pavement maintenance history, and Pavement and Surface Evaluation Rating (PASER) values. Selected streets generally have PASER values between 7 and 10, though a few have PASER values of 5 and 6. All street segments with PASER values of 5 total 4,124 feet (0.8 miles), while all street segments with PASER values of 6 total 9,137 feet (1.7 miles). These street segments are proposed to receive crack seal improvements because they are either within a larger area of streets having PASER values of 7 or higher so Staff is attempting to maintain all street segments within the areas on the same schedule, or because the street segments are not identified within the CIP as receiving improvements within the next 10 years so the intent is to limp these streets along as cost-effectively as possible until they are added to the CIP. Plans and specifications for the 2023 Crack Sealing Improvements were prepared in-house as part of Staff s normal duties. A copy of the plans is attached to this case. Preliminary Schedule Remaining • Council Awards Contract to the lowest responsible bidder o April 11, 2023 • Contractor begins construction o Late April / early May 2023 • Contractor Completes Improvements o June 2, 2023 The proposed improvements are designated as City Improvement Project #23-08, 2023 Crack Seal Improvements.
