5. 22. <br /> CC Regular Session <br /> Meeting Date: 01/23/2024 <br /> Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Address infrastructure needs. <br /> Information <br /> Title <br /> Adopt Resolution#24-044 Approving Plans and Specifications and Authorizing Advertisement for Bids for 2024 <br /> Crack Seal Improvements, Improvement Project#24-08 <br /> Purpose/Background: <br /> Purpose: <br /> The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution#24-044 approving plans and specifications and authorizing <br /> advertisement for bids for 2024 Crack Seal Improvements, Improvement Project#24-08. <br /> Background: <br /> Crack seal improvements are completed annually, on between 10 and 23 miles of public street segments to <br /> cost-effectively maximize the life of the bituminous pavement. <br /> Crack sealing protects pavement by preventing stormwater runoff from seeping through cracks in the pavement <br /> and joints between the pavement and concrete curb and gutter, and utility castings. Reducing future pavement <br /> damage due to wet subgrade soils, especially during freeze-thaw cycles. <br /> The City's current pavement maintenance schedule calls for public streets to be crack sealed the third, seventh, <br /> and fourteenth year following construction,reconstruction, and overlay improvements. However, while this is the <br /> typical maintenance schedule it is important to note that Staff reviews the condition of all streets annually and <br /> adjusts the schedule of maintenance operations based on actual pavement conditions. <br /> A total of 13.70 miles of public street segments proposed to receive crack seal improvements in 2024. These <br /> street segments were selected based on age,pavement maintenance history, and Pavement and Surface Evaluation <br /> Rating (PASER)values. Selected streets generally have PASER values between 7 and 10. <br /> Plans and specifications for the 2024 Crack Sealing Improvements were prepared in-house as part of Staff's <br /> normal duties. A copy of the plans is attached to this case. <br /> Preliminary Schedule Remaining <br /> •Bids are publicly opened <br /> o March 4,2024 <br /> •Council awards contract to the lowest responsible bidder <br /> o March 12, 2024 <br /> •Contractor begins improvements <br /> o Late April/early May 2024 <br /> •Contractor completes improvements <br /> o May 31, 2024 <br /> Project Coordination <br /> Outside of pothole patching, major street maintenance in 2024 includes crack sealing,pavement rejuvenation, and <br /> pavement striping. Pavement striping generally occurs on MSA streets, and the project has not yet been started. <br />
